I needed emergency surgery to remove the implants

ORIGINAL POST

Near Death

My name is Christine C I had my surgery mastopexy, implants, and argumentation surgery on March 13 2023 with Dr. Chavez. This was the worst experience of my life. First, let me say this I did not get my prescription until the next day March 14when I went for my postop visit. I did 2 visits after my surgery with a nurse at the facility. On March 18 returned home after the surgery. A few days later I notice I had a discharge coming from my breast. I went ahead in sent the picture to Dr. Chavez she told me this was normal it was just fatty tissue. She sent me a list of items to buy. I notice a few days later it was getting worst so I sent a picture of the gauze in which she said it was an infection. On March 30 2023 I went to the emergency room where I was admitted in put on antibiotics which did not work. The Dr explains the infection is bad and that I need emergency surgery to remove the implants. On March 31 2023, the surgery was done, and the implants were removed. The Dr came in and spoke to me on April 1 2023 he said I had a very bad infection and they took pictures of my breast during the surgery. He explained the infection happened as soon as Dr. Chavez perform the surgery. The doctor stated he never see anything like this when the patient was 18 days post-op and had an infection this bad in both breasts. I reach out to Dr. Chavez all she said was sorry. I'm now on 900mg of antibiotics. This was a near-death experience. I asked Dr Chavez can I be reimbursed due to the situation from the surgery. I have not received a response to the question. Prior to that I have all the text messages between her and me to back up everything that I'm saying
