I have developed an autoimmune disease and I’m desperate to get well. I know there is no guarantee with explantation. My question is, is it safe to take out my saline breast implants if I have interstitial lung disease; my concern being that they would have to remove the entire capsule and get close to the mas they’re under the muscle?
