Missing Persons' Dale Bozzio Fundraiser Tops $21,000 for Urgent Breast Implant Removal

Insurance does not cover the procedure, prompting a $35,000 crowdfunding appeal.

Overview

  • Her son, Troy McKenzie, launched a GoFundMe seeking $35,000 for implant removal, reconstruction, and recovery.
  • As of late Thursday, the fundraiser showed more than $21,000 in donations toward the goal.
  • McKenzie says Bozzio has severe capsular contracture causing constant pain that limits her ability to perform or record.
  • The plan calls for removal of silicone breast implants followed by reconstructive surgery, with recovery estimated at up to three months.
  • The American Society of Plastic Surgeons says severe capsular contracture can harden tissue and distort breast shape, leading to soreness and pain.
