En bloc & capsulotomy - confusion on types of implant removal procedures

Asked By:deedee44 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I recently visited my PS that performed my BI surgery to enquire about BI removal. I've had my gel breast implants for 6 years, under the muscle, and honestly, I've never felt comfortable with them - physically/emotionally. I asked him if he was going to do en bloc capsulectomy, he said no, as it's not safe. Instead would do a total capsulotomy. I'm totally confused about what's the right procedure. What are best options? I felt imitiated to push more about it w/him...
