June 5, 2022
Asked By:Wals2050 in Miami, Florida

Hello. I will try to be as brief as possible. I have had my subglandular saline implants since December 1994. It id now time to replace them. My left implant has capsular contracture and is now stiffer when compared to my right. I am now 50 yrs old and have Hashimotos Thyroiditis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I control RA naturally with turmeric. I am afraid of invasiveness oc submuscular implants. What are my options? Thank you.
