How Long It Takes for Capsules to Absorb into Body After Breast Explantation

I've had breast explantation two weeks ago. My ps left the capsules in saying they will be absorbed into body without any problems. At the moment I am having some problems with my chest muscles feeling weak. I am hoping the capsules being reabsorbed and the area enclosing, and muscles reattaching will improve my problem. Has there been any documentation to how long capsules took to be absorbed?

A: Implant capsules after explantation

I agree with the other doctors. The capsules do not completely reabsorb. But they usually do not cause a problem unless they fill with fluid or remain palpable and firm under the skin. The muscles may actually be a little weaker because they are not stretched out to length any more over the implant, but they will quickly contract to the smaller volume and then work as well as they were working prior to the explantation. Be patient, you will probably feel better in several weeks.
