Answer: Implant removal under local anaesthetic? Hello @BAquestions23, thank you for your question. A breast implant removal can be done under very specific circumstances. For me it's important in an explant a complete capsulectomy and immediate reconstruction of the breast perform with general anesthesia. Recovery time after implant removal can vary depending on several factors, such as the patient healing process and the specific surgical techniques used. Generally, there its almost no pain.

Answer: Not advised to do under local Hello, thank you for your question. In my professional opinion, it is not advised to perform implant removal under local anesthesia. This is a relatively invasive procedure that should be completed with IV general sedation. Approximate recovery timeframe is 6-8 weeks of 3 pound weight restriction and limited use of muscle movement. It is advised to not engage in strenuous exercise for approximately 8 weeks, depending on surgery and post operative follow up: Walking is encouraged. Every patient’s pain tolerance is different; however, majority of patient’s tolerate this outpatient surgery.

Answer: Implant removal You will need to be evaluated by your board certified plastic surgeon to determine if you are a candidate for implant removal under local anesthetic. If a lift is performed general anesthesia is recommended for your comfort and safety. Recovery from implant removal is generally quite tolerable. You will want to closely follow your surgeon's instructions with regard to activity level. Typically patients can resume exercise at 6 weeks post op. Compression is often recommended and drains are used if indicated.

Answer: Implants Implants, except for rupture gel implant or gel imp[lants older than 1992, can be removed under local anesthesia. The capsules may not be able to be removed under local, and lifts, except for a very small one, are not done under local. For most women, just removing the implants is not a very painful procedure, but you will need some time to heal.

Answer: Can breast implants be removed under local anesthetic? Yes. In many cases breast implants can be removed under local anesthesia if you are not planning on combining explant surgery (removal of breast implants) with any other surgeries. There are many options for implant removal without replacement of the implant. Some women who have explant plan to replace some volume with fat transfer to the breast and/or add a breast lift to the procedure plan to tighten up loose skin. In the later cases the explant would typically be done under a general anesthesia.
