No capsule found after 3 months?

Hi, I recently had a breast explant surgery after only having my implants for three months. I began developing serious autoimmune symptoms (muscle and joint pain, numbing, choking feeling, extreme fatigue, etc) about 6 weeks post surgery. After numerous labs and tests, with no clear problem found, I decided to remove my implants with capsule. However my surgeon said there was no capsule around my implants/in the pocket once he operated. Is it possible to not have a capsule after three months
