Hi! I've had two BA surgeries (one in 2015 and one in 2016 to correct implant placed way too high). Almost immediate after the second surgery, I developed capsular contracture in my right breast. It is not as hard as a rock and a painful, itchy nuisance. I plan to have my implants removed and NOT replaced as I no longer want them in me (I'm very active and they get in the way of my work now too). Based on the photos, what might I expect with implant removal and no lift or any other procedure?
