Dear Doctors, I wanna remove my saline implants. I’d be thankful if you answer my Q. 1-Do the capsules need to be removed? Why yes or no? 2-What will happen to capsule if it stays in? 3-Will it move to other parts of the body or will it dissolve? 4-Does my surgeon notice the mold or yeast in my saline implants or its capsule if there is any with the naked eye? 5-What kind of tests do I need to request to see my capsule is normal and not infected with yeast, mold bacteria or any other problems
