Is It Safe to Leave in Scar Tissue After Having Implants Removed?
If the capsules are soft and don't retain the implant shape once the implant is removed, I will often leave the capsule.
If anything is abnormal about the capsule,it is usually better to remove it.
As always, risks and benefits must be considered in making a recommendation to a patient.
All the best.

Grade III Capsule Removal and Implant Removal
If there are calcific components or silicone granulomatous material or the capsule is deforming the breast tissue then removal of the capsule may be warranted. In soft pliable capsules they can be left intact.

Removal of Breast Implants and Capsule?
I think your plastic surgeon is giving you good advice. On the other hand, I usually recommend patients who have soft capsules, leave the capsules in place when removing breast implants.
Best wishes with your upcoming procedure.

Breast implants removed as well as capsules
If you have a grade III capsular contracture, and you want your implants removed, it is a good idea to have the capsule removed as well.
