Question about the capsule

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I just had a question about the capsule you all refer to. My doctor

told me he is just going to cut my implant open and then take out

the shell. My implants lie under my muscles and he said that I

won't have any capsule or remnants of the silicone shell in body

after he takes the implant shells. I got advice earlier that I

should make sure he takes it out whole because if there is any

bacteria and he cuts it open to drain it while still in, it will

free it in my chest, but he thinks this isn't a risk, that if I am

having problems he thinks it would just be to the silicone if they

are related at all. Since he is going to leave drains in them after

he cuts them open and removes the shell and give me antibiotics I

think I will be alright if there is even any bacteria because the

antibiotics should kill it and the drains should get out the

remaning fluid if contaminated. I was just wondering if he takes

them out this way and he says there will be no remnants is there any

worries I should still have? If anyone could offer reasons that

would be much appreciated. Thanks!
