I’m having my implants removed 4 weeks after augmentation as I feel like it was a mistake and I want my breasts back. I’m 33 years oldnever had kids and the quality of my skin was good pre-op. I was 34 A before and I got Mentor 350cc moderate plus xtra textured implants under a muscle. My question is, is there going to be any capsule formed around the implant already which should be removed together with an implant or it’s ok just to remove the implants itself. Will my skin bounce back too? Thx!
Answer: Capsule after augmentation There will be a capsule but it will be very very thin and impossible to remove. It is your own tissue and will not cause you any harm to leave it there. So it is fine to just remove the implant and close the incision. Your skin tissue should retract as you have only had the implants for a month but sometimes their is some shape change as the skin sticks back down to the pocket but it is very hard to predict this.

Answer: Early Explant Believe it or not, by 4 weeks post implantation, your body has in fact already started forming a capsule around the implant. In my opinion, it should be removed, because once a capsule forms your body will not absorb it.

Answer: 1 month Thanks for your question! It takes some time for that capsule or scar tissue to form. You should be fine to just remove the implant. I'm sure that you skin will bounce back as long because you didn't have a huge implant. Good luck!

Answer: Capsule formation after breast augmentation surgery! Thanks Kylie25 for your question! It's normal for a thin capsule of scar tissue to form around breast implants. However, at four weeks post-augmentation, the capsule is likely still quite thin and soft. In most cases, removing the implants themselves should be sufficient. Your surgeon will be able to assess the specific situation during the procedure. Most importantly , removal of capsule is not needed in every case.

Answer: Capsule formation after breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. Everyone's body responds slightly differently but in general there is capsule/scar tissue formation that begins to happen in the first few weeks after implant surgery. More than likely this will be a very thin, soft tissue which will be benign to leave in place after explantation. Some surgeons perform some "scoring" of the capsule scar tissue after explantation to get better adhesion and healing of the two layers after removing implants. Good luck with your journey!
