I’ve had my implant over the muscle for about 10 months and am planning to remove asthey feel really heavy for me and I dislike the sudden sensations that I get in my ribs and breasts. Also I do not want to put myself at risk of any breast implant related illnesses or cancer. I requested my doctor to remove all the capsule but he insisted the capsules for motiva are very thin and will reabsorb which contradicts what I’ve read on future complications. I feel lost. I just want to do the rightthing
Answer: Is removal of capsule required? Yes, 100%. The entire capsule as well as all inflamed or abnormal tissue must be removed as well. The capsule is what holds the silica or gel bleed.

Answer: It is recommended to avoid any complications in the future Removal of breast implants, intact or ruptured, may have positive implications if patients are symptomatic. A constellation of symptoms associated with breast implant illness, and autoimmune disease are considered when treating patients who have breast implants and are concerned about foreign body reaction. In our office, we begin this journey with a consideration of symptoms and exclusion of obvious autoimmune problems. In many of our patients, en bloc removal of breast implants with capsulectomy is important and beneficial. Further clinical evidence about breast implant illness is evolving and will continue to guide treatment. I would suggest removal if there is a possibility of foreign body reaction.

Answer: Less is more. Performing a capsulectomy is unnecessary in the absence of capsule pathology or disease. Performing a capsulectomy can harbor the risk of lung injury, more bleeding, and increasing surgical time. No clinical study shows superiority in symptom relief when performing capsulectomy against other capsule surgeries. Trust your surgeon.

Answer: Capsules Since you only had had your implants for 10 months, the capsules may be very thin. Your surgeon can still try and remove as much as he can. I have seen capsules completely absorb, especially with saline implants.
