Asked By:chakakhan4 in Uk

Hi there, thanks in advance for reading. I had my 2nd BA In 2012 after PIP scandal revised with Allergan slightly bigger. I’ve been back to my revision surgeon today as I want to explant, I’ve had issues with left capsular contracture and pain on & off and loads of general health symptoms. Reading recently about alcl and breast implant illness I want them out no lift. He said he wouldn’t do capsulectomy unless it was abnormal regardless if I had NHS or paid private as it’s unnecessary/risky if ok.
