Breast implant removal - capsule removal BII

BAquestions23
I have found varying opinions and reports of removing total (en bloc) or partial capsule removal for BII symptoms. Some surgeons say no difference leaving in or removing. Removing thin capsules not possible and of no benefit as can cause more complications. What scientific evidence if there to support capsule removal for treatment of BII at the time of breast explant. I have mentor textured implants and will be removed within 6-12 months from original BA surgery
