Hey so I made the biggest mistake ever . It's just not me I don't even know why I made the decision to do implants. But I want them removed as soon as possible . The left breast is hard while the right has dropped and fluffed already. I am 1 week post op. I also had a lift . Is it ok to get them removed within the next week ? What are the risk ? I have no pain currently . But the breast are extremely heavy and causing me back aches and pain.

Answer: Removal You do need to give your body some time to heal, but they could be removed as early as 6 weeks. However, you were not happy with your breasts prior to surgery and may not be happy once removed. Consider going with something smaller that won't be heavy on your neck and shoulders. Repeat surgery will not be as involved as the first procedure.

Answer: How soon can breast implants be removed after surgery? Hello @BeyondSatisfied, thank you for your question. If you're feeling certain that you don't want implants anymore, it's technically possible to have them removed. I recommend to give a certain time to let your body heal from the initial surgery and allow time for swelling to subside. This would give you a more accurate idea of what your final result might look like. Removing implants early can carry risks, so talk to your specialist about your concerns. He or she can give you the best advice based on your individual circumstances and guide you through your options. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
