I am a retired 71 yo physician who wants her subpectoral breast implants removed. This is mostly a cosmetic decision and I believe I am an excellent candidate for just leaving the capsules in place. I had poor healing after my last surgery 9 years ago when a mastopexy was also performed. My sternal notch to nipple distance is 20cm on each side and I have a fair amount of subcutaneous tissue and skin elasticity is pretty good. I desire to have this more minimally invasive surgery.
