How soon do capsules form after breast augmentation?

I'm sorry you are unhappy with your breast augmentation. The capsule that forms is scar tissue that the body places around any foreign object in the body. It is possible that it has formed, but if present it would be very thin.

It is possible that a capsule has formed around the implants within the three weeks since your breast augmentation surgery. However, it is difficult to determine without a physical examination by a qualified plastic surgeon.

A capsule is a natural response of the body to a foreign object, such as a breast implant. It is a layer of scar tissue that forms around the implant, and in some cases, it can become thick and tighten around the implant, causing a condition known as capsular contracture.

If a capsule has formed, it may be more difficult to remove the implants without also removing the capsule. This is why you received two different answers from two different surgeons. One surgeon may recommend removing the capsule along with the implants, while the other may recommend leaving the capsule in place if it is not causing any issues.

Ultimately, the decision to remove the capsule along with the implants will depend on factors such as the severity of the capsule, the degree of capsular contracture (if present), and your personal preference.

It is important to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and ask them to explain their recommendation in detail so that you can make an informed decision about your surgery. You may also consider seeking a third opinion from another qualified plastic surgeon before proceeding with the removal surgery.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
