My doc did not remove capsules when he performed breast implant removal and lift. Is it true that they will be dissolved?

Luckysmom525252
had a breast implant removal and lift 2 weeks ago. Looks great, but I have drainage every day. I asked my doc if he removed capsules since I had my implants for 15 years, he sad its not necessary, they will be absorbed by my body. Is it true?
