Explant - Is it safe to leave capsules in long-term? (photos)

April 28, 2022
Asked By:prEony

Hi, I'm going t have my implants removed in around 2 weeks time. I've had them for about 5 months then. I don't have any hard capsules- they are soft. I don't like the feeling of having implants nor how mine turned out unfortunately:/ I can see a lot of people argue that capsules "need" to be removed but I can't find any research for this. I'd prefer the least invasive surgery. Will keeping the capsules in be bad long term? Also maybe this will give some more volume due to my tiny boobs? Thanks
