34 yrs old. Saline implants placed July 2015 via armpit. Breast are soft & squishy, no pain, no hardening & no actual problems with the implants. However I believe they are making me sick and want to remove them. What happens if the capsule is left in? I'm nervous about this procedure and want the best for myself. My surgeon said he won't be removing it. I read so many other stories where some are left in and some not. Will leaving it in cause me future issues?

Answer: Removal If you just want to remove the implants because you no longer want them, and are having no issues with your breasts, you can just remove the implants. However, if you think you are having any medical problems potentially related to your implants, the capsules need to be removed as well. Your axillary incision cannot be used to remove the implants and capsules.

Answer: You can leave capsule behind You do not have any signs that there is an inflammatory reactions to your implants( redness, pain, swelling, hardness or discharge) and that is the reason that you can leave your capsules behind. If you want to remove them you will need to have incision in your breast crease and the there will be breast deformity due to scaring . If you had ruptured silicone gel implants or severe capsular contracture capsule removal would have been indicated. I offer my patients fat grafting post implant removal. Please see the link
