Explant surgery Do I need to have the capsule out or is it ok to leave it in? Why or why not? If I don't need the capsule out, can I have this done in office under local? I don't do well with general and would like to limit the trauma to my body What will they look like after? Will I need a lift? Is fluffing up a real thing? I haven't had kids, I was 32b, and went up to a 34d with a silicone implant, that is 370 CC's and placed under the muscle thanks!
