Asked By:deannehenry

Hi there. I had my explant 6 weeks ago. I’ve noticed lumps and bigger areas of hardened / firm tissue in the lower pole. I know the doc left the capsule in. He said it was very very thin like cellophane wrap and he didn’t take it out. I wonder if what I’m feeling is capsule. Ugh. He said it would dissolve on its own? I’m hoping for Fat Transfer in the near future. ... I’m wondering what you think this odd tissue “could be” .... could it effect the fat transfer ?
