How long does it take for muscle to heal after breast explantation?
I have been explanted. Turns out my 102 fever was due to a blood clot and infection under my left breast. I opted not to have a smaller implant put in. My muscles are very sore.

A: Muscle healing after breast implant explantation
This depends on several factors including if a capsulectomy was performed or not. Similarly the muscle can be repaired as well. The healing process generally takes about 6 weeks for scar tissue to accumulate and up to 2 years to fully mature.
A: Breast healing after explantation will take 4-6 weeks
It will take 4-6 weeks for your breast to heal. You had an infection as wel,l which could require longer healing time. I would recommend that continue to follow with your physician to make sure the infection is well controlled.
