Can a Breast Implant capsule trap/wrap/effects nerves in breast causing pain?
January 14, 2022
Asked By:Justhavefaith in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
So I have decided to remove my implants and seen 2 surgeons. Both were great but different, 1 recommends due to my nerve pain to do a totally capsulectomy as a nerve may be wrap into the capsule. 2nd recommended not moving capsule as he believes due to becoming pregnant and my breasts stretching that it’s stretching the nerves and that the capsule has nothing to do with nerve pain My implants are currently under the muscle. I’m so confused as both have such different opinions?
