Remaining Scar Tissue After Capsulectomy?

April 27, 2009
Asked By:tiggermonk in nyc

What happens to any remaining scar tissue after a complete capsulectomy? Does it eliminate itself from the body if it is stuck to ribs, or does it stay? I am interested in breast implant removal en-bloc and am concerned if all the scar tissue can't be removed.
