I had my implants removed about 5 years ago after having them for about 5 years. They were under the muscle and silicone. Removal did not include capsulectomy. Now I am wanting to have another breast augmentation done, I miss the fullness of implants. Will the capsules left behind a few years ago pose problem, cosmetically speaking? I don’t notice anything visually wrong with my breasts now so I am not sure if putting new implants in would make the old capsule visible or if they should be removed during my augmentation surgery.
