Guest guest Posted September 26, 2001 Report Share Posted September 26, 2001 Remember our discussion recently on the removal of scar tissue and Dr. Feng? I found this on the sosalines website. http://www.homestead.com/sosalines/Fengcaps.html (Thanks very much to Dr. Lu-Feng of Cleveland Ohio for these remarks regarding capsule removal after saline implants) A biological capsule will form around any implant. Any saline implant removal will require a total capsulectomy. Like anything else in life, there are few exceptions. Here are the few exceptions which would have to be fulfilled before I would entertain the possibility of not removing the saline capsule. (1) The capsule has to be tissue paper thin and without contracture. (2) The patient has to be without any local or systemic symptoms. (3) The saline implant has to be smooth shelled. (4) There has to be no previous history of gel filled implant insertion. All these conditions have to be fulfilled before I would consider not taking the saline capsule out. As you can see, few patients would fulfill these criteria. Invariably, I take out the entire capsule around saline implants. Drfeng@...
