Why is it recommended to remove a thick capsule?

Asked By:Elsa9431 in Stockholms län, Sverige

I had my implants removed about 2 years ago due to severe capsular contracture in one breast. I did not get a capsulectomy because the surgeon said that it’s never necessary. After that I’ve had so much pain and complications. I’ve met with 4 other plastic surgeons for second opinions and they’ve all said that thick capsules has to be removed. Why is that? Should I be worried that it may be causing health issues in the future? I can feel how hard and firm my breast is still. I am worried
