I have silicone implants with rupture. I want them removed en bloc, without replacement. No lift. Met with a doc, have concerns

Asked By:belladuo in New York, NY

1. I was told it may not be possible to remove everything via en bloc but I would still have a full capsulectomy. Is that good enough given I have a rupture to prevent contamination from free silicone to surrounding tissue? 2. I was told there will be no drains because aesthetically everything will heal nicer, because everything wont be be sucked down from the drainage. Is this safe/recommended? Also, is it necessary to be on antibiotics during recovery or is during surgery alone enough?
