Hello. I am 32 years old without children. I had to remove the breast implants. I completely expired in 15 days in Italy. The surgeon proposed to remove the breast implants and the capsule through the nipple. the prostheses are a month behind the muscle. he says that he will open the fibers of the muscle and clean the rib cage. The truth is that I am afraid. And can I do this kind of intervention? Will the muscle suffer? And better if I propose to do the cut under the breast? I hope you answer me.

If you are in good health and cleared to have anesthesia you can elect to have your implants removed at any time. After an examination your surgeon will let you know if it is recommended that the capsules be removed as well. Costs will vary by surgeon and region.
It's hard to render an opinion without an examination. It could be scar tissue or potentially a hematoma. It is best to schedule a visit with your surgeon to discuss your concerns.
As you already are planning to have the implants and capsules removed your surgeon can send the fluid away for testing at the time of surgery. There is no specific need to have the fluid aspirated or tested beforehand.
