Implant and capsule removal

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Should the capsule be removed during breast implant removal?

I have only had my implants for 2 years. Silicone, places under muscle. I have had no trouble but would like them out. I am wondering if the capsule should be removed? I don't quite understand this process. En bloc? Thank you for your help.

 With non-encapsulated under the muscle implants that have only been in for 2 years you do not need to remove the capsules with the implants.  Just be absolutely you want the implants out and understand the consequences of their removal.
