What is the risk of disrupting breast vasculature and pneumothorax with capsulectomy? (Photo)

Over implants 26 yrs, explanting (no lift) because of baker 3 cc with up shift right side. One PS said he would remove both capsules, the other said only the anterior capsule on right because of risk of pneumothorax (will remove if that's what I want), no removal of capsule on left (unless I want) as it's not necessary so why risk disrupting the vasculature especially at my age (60, healthy, no meds). So frustrating, both PS ABPS.
