Asked By:Readytobeimplantfree in Hawaii, HI

Should I Wait to See How It Heals Before Doing a Lift? I have 450 cc Saline implants inserted under the muscle. I have had the implants for 7 years, and I'm ready to get them explanted for many personal reasons. I live on an island with few plastic surgeons, which is why I would like more educated opinions. I would like to know how long it will take for me to go back to work. I am a teacher, and do not have to do any heavy lifting. In addition, I healed very quickly with my initial BA.
