A short YouTube surgical/explant video by Robert Whitfield MD showing removal and close inspection of old breast implant capsules with notable white calcium deposits and capsular contracture. The surgeon describes performing biopsies to send for bacterial and fungal DNA testing and identifies the implants as Mentor Smooth 325cc devices; audible crunching/eggshell-like calcification is noted.

Checking out some very old implants today. These got a lot of calcium on them and they're contracted. You can see on both sides, there's a lot of white and calcium. This is my biopsy. I take to send off to look for bacterial.
And fungal.
DNA, do that on both of them. And here it is on this side. So we're just going to further open this up. We're going to hear some crunching. So you can see.
That almost calcium.
Deposition like.
Little eggshell in here. You can hear it kind of crunch around.
These are Mentor Smooth 325cc devices. We'll go from my little biopsy port over here on this side where she has this contracture. And you can hear. I'll hold it up. You can hear it. Don't pop that.
