Asked By:BAquestions23 in Scotland, United Kingdom

Mentor textured 300cc breast augmentation over the muscle in Jan 2023.Experiencing BII aswell as both implants bottomed out. My surgeon never dealt with BII before. Said capsule will be thin and not be able to remove it all. Can total capsule removal be done on thin capsules ? If breast implants bottomed out does that mean they have fallen out of the capsule? Do textured implants leave flecks or traces which lead to ALCL ? Want removal done properly as illness affecting my life.
