i am 31 years old and underwent breast augmentation a week and a half ago. i was a 34b previously and after having 300cc nagor impleo implants am currently a 34d. it was a huge mistake as i was unaware for how i would feel emotionally about having foreign bodies in my breasts. my surgeon has never removed implants that have been in for a short amount of time so i wanted to check what the right technique is i.e does the capsule have to be removed? use drains etc? will my breasts look like before?

Removing breast implants at two weeks

It is not too unusual for patients to have doubts or regrets regarding their implants during the initial healing period (two weeks) and it is not possible to judge the size, shape, and look or feel during the first two weeks. I would not agree to remove implants that are healing uneventfully before three months. I also would not agree to change them to a different size before three months.  However, if the implants were removed at two weeks and the incision to put them in is in... more

Breast implant removal at 10 days

Given the modest size of the implant and the brief time they have been in, it is very likely that your breasts will approximate their pre-operative appearance without implants.

Removing implants at 2 weeks will probably only require removal.  As to the question of how they will look, they probably will look similar to what you looked like before surgery.

Breast Implant Removal 2 weeks after Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question and picture. Removal of breast implants after 2 weeks does not necessarily require “capsule removal” or the use of drains. it is likely that your breast will look like they did before the breast augmentation. More importantly, make sure you are making the correct decision; it is not useful for patients to undergo significant emotional “ups and downs” after surgery... Best wishes.

Make sure this is really what you want, but the capsule will most likely not need to be removed.  You'll most likely need drains, however.

No warranties , noquarantees. capsule is formed at about 4-6 weeks. before that no need to remove capsule., and with that short peroid of time you probably will be the same as before surgery. THIS TIME MAKE AN INTELLEGENT DECISION. BE INFORMED FULLY OR YOU WILL REGRET REMOVING THE IMPLANTS. YOU WERE NOT A CANDIDATE FOR BREAST IMPLANTS TO BEGIN WITH.
