I have textured implants and family history of breast cancer. Will it be best for me to have an en bloc removal?

This is what I have read about it: helps to ensure removal of the entire implant shell and contents during explantation. Surgically removing the capsule is one of the most powerful steps in removing the “footprint” of breast implants. The capsule contains cellular and microbial matter, and possibly even silicone particles from a textured implant shell, that may remain after the implant is removed. Removing the capsule en bloc ensures all of this matter is removed thoroughly.
