Does having a capsulectomy cause your breasts to be smaller?

Asked By:Hopedforbetter in Independence, Kansas

If my implants are under the muscle, the capsule would be a part of my pec muscle, would that cause my breasts to look smaller after explant? So many women say that after having their capsules removed they lose breast tissue in the process- I would like to know if this is true for under the muscle implants as it doesn't make sense to me.
