She continued to work, maintain her income, and navigate the mental shock of seeing a body she barely recognized in the mirror.

What Capri Cavanni thought would be a routine breast revision with one of Beverly Hills’ top breast surgeons turned into living with one breast for months.
Complications from the surgery led to a serious infection that required one breast to be explanted. During that time, she continued to work, maintain her income, and navigate the mental shock of seeing a body she barely recognized in the mirror.
She didn’t stop showing up. Because the bills don’t pause for trauma — and the internet doesn’t wait for recovery.
But that period forced a reckoning.
Living with a body altered in a way that could have been permanent made one thing clear: if something irreversible ever happened, she needed a future that didn’t depend on appearance alone. That realization pushed her to go back to school and commit to following her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian.
During those same months, the content creator was also the entrepreneur traumatized dogs were waiting for.
More than a decade earlier, a single heartbreaking grooming appointment led her to canine grooming school in Los Angeles. She invested everything she had into building a dog-grooming business focused on behavioral and high-stress cases.
She started small. It grew through consistency.
Today, that same discipline has her lobbying county officials for universal spay-and-neuter funding and preparing to launch a sustainable frozen dog supplement — built from the same grit that carried her through those months.
Here’s what no one tells you about the entertainment industry: the money doesn’t care about your other life. She keeps both worlds moving — not to prove anything, but because neither one exists without the other.
