Asked By:Tammyof4 in Sanger, California

I recently had anappointment with a local board-certified surgeon. My augmentation has turned into a waterfall effect baker 1 capsular contracture. She literally gave me 1 option and that was to remove the implants. Not what I wanted to hear. I was hoping she would recommend a Capsulectomy, implant switch and lift. She also said if I did decide to go the route to remove them that she would not do a lift until a year later just in case I liked them the way they are after the explant.2nd opinion?
