Re: Marie: EXPLANTATION on Thursday!

Hi Beth,

Thanks for the response. Yes and no on the capsule removal. He told me he only does the "en bloc" when it's a silicone patient, rupture, or when capsular contraction is present. I don't have any of that. Well, a slight capsular in my left breast. But nothing I couldn't live with. So he is going to go in and scrape most of it out. He likes to rough it up a bit so that their is a better chance if having the breast form to something. He has found it to be successful in NOT leaving a whole or dent in the breast after healing. So I am listening to him. I just want them out!
