Implant removal 4 months post tuberous BA. Do I need a complete capsulectomy?

Witty5949
I am looking to have breast implant removal, only 4 months post BA. I never felt comfortable with implants, but felt this was my only option due to my tuberous nature. I am experiencing headaches, fatigue, anxiety, and extreme tingling in hands and feet. I know breast implant illness is controversial, but my surgeon only wants to perform partial capsulectomy. My symptoms are not severe but I’m worried they could Drastically worsen over time if some of the capsule left in. Could symptoms worsen?
