Should the capsule be removed when breast implants are removed?

July 26, 2020
Asked By:AnnJR

What happens to the space after the implant and capsule are removed? Is there bacteria, inflammatory cells, and fragments of silicone left in the capsule after Explant? Is that why the capsule should be removed or do these particles wash away. I'm reading conflicting information on the removal of the capsule.
