What is the best procedure to remove implants if autoimmune issues are a concern?

You can elect to remove your implants at any time.  If you have thickened capsules, issues with the capsules or implants, or implant rupture it is best to have the capsules removed at the time of the implants.  The implants can be removed en bloc if you choose, meaning the capsule and implant are removed as one unit.  If the capsules are thin and there is no issue with the implant it is an option to remove the capsules or leave them behind.  Breast tissue can thin from compression of the implants over time, as well as the natural aging process.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

You can choose to have your implants removed with the capsules, especially if you have concerns about thick capsules. The longer you have breast implants and the bigger the implants are, the more thinning of your own breast tissue occurs. Plus, the implants have stretched your tissue as well. Breastfeeding also may change your breast size and shape. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing your concerns and options.
