Breast implant exchange risk for BIA-ALCL? Would you recommend capsulectomy or capsulotomy?

I had a breast augmentation 4 years ago with textured allergan implants which were recalled due to the BIA-ALCL risk. I got 475g anatomical implants placed over the muscle. To this day I have not had any issues whatsoever, but I would like to exchange my breast implants for aesthetic reasons and due to my worry of the cancer. So my question is: would you recommend capsulectomy (en bloc?), capsulotomy for implant exchange? Thank you!
