Asked By:Original466058 in Dallas, Texas

Is it better to remove in general or no? Got smooth silicone implants June 2004. September 2021 had them deflated. Want removed. Surgeon wants all patients get capsule removed-required if textured, encouraged if smooth. Will do w/out cap removal but said risk of liquid getting into capsule & infection later on. Drains if removed/none if not. If want fat transfer later on do I need to get capsule removed?Better in general to remove or no? F/37/130lb breast great deflated, right smaller so maybe future fat transfer
