It doesn't.....
Hello,
Breast implants always are associated with the formation of a capsule. Some capsules are more thick and firm than others. When implants are removed all but the softest capsules should be removed at least in part to allow the breast to remain soft. The capsule does not vanish if not removed. My video below shows a firm calcified silicone gel capsule that was removed at the time of implant removal.
Best Regards,

Breast capsule
The breast capsule is a response to the implant. Unless it is removed surgically, it always stays in some form.

Capsules Permanent after Implant Removal?
Thank you for the question.
The breast implant capsule does not “dissolve”. it will remain in place permanently but should not cause any problems for patients after breast implant removal. If breast implant capsules are soft and asymptomatic, their removal is not necessary during implant removal.
I hope this helps.

What happens to The Breast Implant Scar ( Capsule) after Breast impant removal or exchange?
In removing breast implants, especially silicone gel filled implants, plastic surgeons remove much of the scar (capsule) around the implants. However, there is no reason for complete removal of the scar tissue. As a result some scar tissue is always left behind to avoid unnecessary injury to adjacent tissues. Scar tissue is permanent. It may be modified with time but remains part of the breast tissue and softens with time.

Capsule fate after implant removal
The capsule never "melts" or "dissolves" back into the body after implant removal. It either stays open as a pocket forever or the sides stick totally or partially to each other in healing.
