Is the capsular contracture of an implant stuck to or part of the surrounding breast tissue?

Asked By:Toyonpeak in Pine Grove, CA

I am considering having my textured, saline, above the muscle implants that I received in 1992 removed. The right implant developed capsular contracture last year - 2018. Will the surgeon need to cut the implant away from my breast tissue or will the implant - for lack of a better word - pop out? Is the capsular contracture stuck to or part of my breast tissue?
