I’m a 25 y/0 female, 5’4, 150lbs . I had 400cc implants placed in August 2021. Fast forward today and I’ve been experiencing the following symptoms of bii: brain fog, memory loss, hair loss, depression. I’m scheduled for explant and fat graft in 2 weeks. I’m really struggling with whether to remove the capsule or not. My surgeon says it’s more dangerous than leaving it bc it’s been such a short time period and the capsule will be tissue paper thin. I need relief asap bc I’m in grad school. Help!
