Asked By:jesster23 in Detroit, MI

I had breast augmentation a couple weeks ago. I decided breast implants are not for me and would like them removed soon. I understand the procedure can be done under local if there's no capsulectomy. My question is when does the capsule form? What are the chances I will need a capsulectomy if I have an explant within a few weeks?
