After 2 years of battling with my insurance for breast implant removal due to possible breast cancer, I was approved and had explant surgery in December 2022. The right breast had severe capsular contracture and was extremely hard and painful. There was a mass of fluid under the nipple and the actual implant had broken through the capsule. The surgeon removed the implants and everything was ok until I developed a seroma in my right breast after the drains were removed. He tried to aspirate the fluid but the seroma kept growing so I had to have surgery again. After the 2nd surgery, things went more smoothly but I noticed my breast was funny looking and hard. I shrugged it off as normal healing but did ask the surgeon when I had a check up. He told me to give it a few weeks and it should go away. As time went on, the right breast never got soft like my left and became painful. I had another appointment with the surgeon who told me that he had left some of the capsule inside me so I would be forced to come back to him to get a breast lift and implants. I told him that I just wanted the capsule removed. I don't want a lift nor do I want implants. He refused. Now I'm left looking like a monster and don't know what to do now
