Daily pain in left breast

I really wanted to report a different outside with this surgeon because on paper and in his reviews, everything looks great. I underwent a breast augmentation June 2021, 300 cc high profile mentor saline implants were placed bilaterally. When I woke up from surgery I felt like my left breast was on fire, I've never had that much pain. I was given more medication and sent home. Ten months later I am still in daily pain on my left side. Dr. Zewert hasn't even attempted to diagnose the problem and prescribed gabapentin. At my last and final post op visit, out of ten for pain, I confronted him on the recall notice for my breast implant and the fact that my implant could be leaking when he called me arrogant and told me to find another surgeon. Save yourself the time and the money, he is a one stop shop boob doc and doesn't deal with complications or accepting that me could've made a mistake. I'll be seeking out an explant for whatever he did to my breasts and will not re implant.

I forgot to mention that he originally diagnosed me with a stage 1 or 2 CC then resided this diagnosis at my final post op. My left breast sits higher is more firm and hurts. Plus he had me on singular for the last four months because of this diagnosis and because I proved to him in a medical article that I forwarded him, that it did in fact soften the capsule.

Did singular help with the capsular contraction?

I feel a difference now that I've stopped taking it, so yes I feel like it did help.
