Asked By:rdy2bemeagain in Ashley, Ohio

I am scheduled to have my implants removed at the end of October . My surgeon said she can remove my implants and preform a capsulotomy under local. Is this typically advisable under local? I understand a capsulectomy must be done under general but wasn't sure about capsulotomy. Also is s capsulectomy needed? One of my breast is very soft the other fairly firm but no real pain
