Asked By:jeur1 in Los Angeles, CA

I got implants 3 years ago (295mf anatomical, textured). I didn't have any problem so far (my breast are soft), i just decided to take them out. Surgeon want to do total capsulectomy. I wonder: how much pain is going to be and how much is the recovery time, will i be able to return to work after 14 days and how my breasts will look after that (i am afraid for deformations) - my surgeon told me, that he didn't have a lot cases like this (usually girls want to replace implants with new).THANKS!
