Recovery from Breast Implant Removal
There is little downtime / recovery with simple breast implant removal.
However, if the implants are encased in a hard capsule as yours may be, the implants are best removed with most of the scar tissue to prevent a chronic fluid collection. This is a slightly bigger operation requiring temporary drain placement. Most women can return back to work a week after surgery and to normal activities 304 weeks after the operation.

Breast Implant removal
You may be having what is known as capsular contracture. That is when the scar tissue or the capsule around the implant beocmes hard, deforming the shape of the breast. If you have no pain, you can just remove the implant. If you do have pain, you may need to have a capsulectomy as well.
