Is the use of betadine tetracycline a good option to close capsules after breast implant removal?

red0916
I had silicone breast implants removed after 28 years. I asked my surgeon to remove the capsules along with the implants. He said he would only do that if they were thick and abnormal looking. 2 months later had 200cc'so removed from right breast, 150cc'so from left. Fluid building up again, getting drains in couple days. If that doesn't work injecting betadine tetracycline. Last resort surgery. Worried about complications, infections. Does betadine tetracycline work to close capsules?
