Short excerpt from a YouTube video (uploaded/created by Robert Whitfield MD) discussing how capsular contracture affects explant surgery. Dr. Whitfield states that capsular contracture (including grades 2, 3 and 4), with or without rupture, infection, or nerve symptoms, does not necessarily change the ability to perform explant surgery.
