removing saline implants without replacement within 6 months of getting them , plan to leave capsule in (feel soft and not stiff). Am thin and couldn't fill an A cup prior to augmentation. Would it be a good idea to rub, score or do a partial removal of the capsule or is it best to leave it as is?

Answer: Implant removal Thank you for your question. There is no reason to do anything with the capsule as long as it's not thick. However the pocket needs to be closed or collapsed using a drain so there isn't fluid build up in the empty space after removal of implants.

Answer: During explant, is scoring, rubbing or partial capsule removal required if capsule is thin? I think that you are correct in that removal of breast implant capsules is not necessary in your case. Exactly what maneuvers are done during surgery will vary from one practice to another; your chosen plastic surgery will likely have his/her own thoughts for you.
