Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 When discussing my explant I told my doctor that I wanted the capsule removed and although he was understanding of health concerns with the implant itself, he thought this was not needed. He said there was virtually no capsule- I've had them for 2 years and they would feel hard if there was a significant capsule, and that it is just a scar. I told my mom later I was going to call back and insist but she told me she thinks that he will have to scrape it off my ribs because it's under the muscle and it may leave more visible scars. I was wondering if it would leave more scars or if it would be a painstaking process to remove all the capsule, such as scraping it off my chest under my muscle. Please help answer my questions if you have been through this because the surgery is coming up in a month and I may need to find a different doctor if I decide to demand removal of the capsule. -Lo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
