Will I have issues with the other capsule being left in?

March 16, 2024
Asked By:amberkate14 in Boon, Michigan

I had a consult with my PS and I have capsular contracture on my left breast. I am going to get my implants removed and my PS said he will remove the contactured capsule but leave the other capsule in. Will I have issues with the other capsule being left in? I am wondering if the right breast will look different due to the capsule being left in. He wants to leave the capsule due to blood supply
