How to proceed with explant with Ehlers Danlos syndrome?

Lou Lou Lou
Hi I had high profile gel implants 15 years ago over the muscle . No issues with the surgery but never liked them . over past 6 months the right one has hardened significantly on the top edge and causes discomfort . I saw a private surgeon for consultation who confirmed it's capsular contracture grade one or two . I want explant with a lift asap however they re saying they are unlikely to do it because of my EDS . I've had no issues with previous surgery. Not sure how to proceed?
