Help me fix my botched breast surgery

Hi everyone,

My name is Shy Bailey, and I am a transgender woman from the UK. Up until now, I have worked hard to fund all of my surgeries myself. But due to the complications with my breast surgeries, I have lost a lot of work, and I’m now in a position where I need help.

My Journey So Far

In January 2024, I underwent breast augmentation over the muscle. Unfortunately, my surgeon placed implants that were too large, resulting in symmastia—a condition where the breasts merge in the middle, creating a single breast instead of two. On top of that, they were placed too low on my torso, making them look unnatural and embarrassing.

After raising my concerns, my surgeon agreed to correct them in April. I had high hopes that this revision would separate the breasts and position them properly, but within weeks, the symmastia returned—worse than before. The bottom of my breasts also became squared off due to an attempt at additional support.

The Nightmare Continued

By August, I couldn’t take it anymore. My surgeon said the best solution was to place the implants under the muscle—which I trusted would finally fix everything. However, this led to even more problems.

• My left breast dropped, filled with fluid (seroma), and became extremely painful.

• My right breast became hard and sore.

• I struggled to find another surgeon willing to help.

After begging my original surgeon for help, he agreed to another revision. For two weeks, my breasts looked great, and I finally felt like myself again. I even had photoshoots and was so happy! But then the nightmare started all over again—fluid buildup, pain, and a gap between my breasts that filled with fluid, making it painful to sleep, work, or exercise.

My Surgeon’s Heartbreaking Response

In desperation, I sent my surgeon videos of me in tears, barely able to breathe from crying, begging for help. His response?

“My aunt has just died. Seek medical attention. I am not in a good mood.”

This level of neglect and unprofessionalism has left me devastated. I know this is medical negligence, and I would never return to him or recommend him to anyone. But right now, my focus is on getting my breasts fixed once and for all.

Why I’m Asking for Help

I never thought I would be in this position, but I have exhausted all of my own funds trying to fix this. Because of the pain and complications, I have lost a lot of work, making it impossible to save for another surgery.

I’m reaching out for support so I can finally have a safe, professional correction surgery with a qualified and compassionate surgeon.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to me. If you can’t donate, sharing this page would also be a huge help.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

The money raised will be going towards my legal battle against the surgeon and the rest will be going towards the correctived surgery

With love,

Shy
