Treatments. If you develop stiff tissue around a breast implant, if the shape distorts, or if the implant wanders out of position, you can get help. A capsulectomy is surgery that removes the stiffened capsule, and the implant may be replaced during this procedure for best results.

Can I overfill my breast implants to 3000cc?
No, you should not have your implants overfilled to 3000 cc’s. All you will be doing is reducing the lifespan of your implants, overstretching your skin and tissue, and causing quicker sagging of too large breasts. Your neck and shoulders will not like the weight of 3000 cc’s.
