Is it possible to do a suction evac for 125cc ruptured silicone subpec?

Polite306419
My 3rd? My focus is on a less invasive op for removal of silicone from a ruptured implant. There are videos using suction to control ruptured contents before or during explant. En Bloc or capsulectomy was goal but, these women had the BII thing going on. I DO NOT. My small 35Yr old capsules are part of me now, it is only the free silicone&collapsed shell inside that is the threat. Can y'all not just clean out the capsule, flush, stitch it up, close incision?? Has this been tried?
