I have had my silicone implants for about 9 years now. My surgeon informed me that I did not have to have the capsule removed. Why do some doctors take them out and others don't?

Answer: To remove the capsule or not In general, if the breast feel soft and the implants still move freely in their pocket then the capsule is most probably thin or normal and does not necessarily need to be removed. Hope this helps.

Answer: Breast implant removal If a patient wants their implants removed because of concern over breast implant related illness then I perform a capsulectomy, culture the breast pocket and the send the capsule to pathology. More often that not there are bacteria in the breast pocket. I advise my patients that a course of oral antibiotics is appropriate in this situation.
