I'm 22 years, had breast-implants last year and I've been many things but happy with my new boobs and self till date. I've decided to have them removed, but I need an experienced surgeon so my end results won't have my boobs looking like my great grand-ma's!. I consulted a few surgeons here but they didn't sound like they knew what they were talking about. I'm totally realistic with my expectations and I'm not expecting a miracle, but I do want this to be the last time I'll ever have to cut my breast.

The periareolar incision should not cause inversion of the nipple.  It is not too invasive to use this incision.  Capsulectomy/capsulotomy should be decided at surgery.

If you developed an early infection which required implant removal, it probably would have been wise to have drains after explant surgery.  You should be evaluated by the plastic surgeon.  That drainage is uncleared fluid from the infected implant.
