What would be my recovery time since I’m on a walker?

Celebrated2011
I have 25 year old implants. Not sure if our material is textured or not, incision sight is thru the nipple. My problem is I am on a walker and have HAD breast cancer which came with neuro & autoimmune issues. In the process of getting a doc lined up to remove the implants. I feel the implants have played a part in some of my neuro & autoimmune disorders. How long is the recovery for a normal person? Since I use my upper body function any idea the down time. I live alone so I’ll need help.
