How Soon After Breast Augmentation Can I Have my Implants Removed?

First of all, do not remove your implants now.  You need to give yourself the time to get psychologically adjusted to them.  You need to discuss your feelings with your surgeon and , by all means, don't make a rash mistake.

If, in the end, you want them removed, it is very simple and safe.

Typically the patients that are unhappy with their implants early after surgery are quite satisfied at six months.

Good day! A week is too soon for pain and discomfort to go away and to see final results because swelling and bruising may persist for a few weeks. The experience varies greatly between patients. The breast will often look higher, firmer, and “less natural” in the first three (3) months. The final shape of your breasts will start to look its best approximately three (3) months after surgery, but improvement may continue up to a year.
If 3 months is too long for you, do not hesitate to contact your surgeon and discuss your options and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

                  It’s
not unusual for breast augmentation patients to experience considerable pain
and discomfort in the immediate post-operative period.  For this reason patients often second
guess their decision to have breast augmentation and end up having the
equivalent of buyer’s remorse.  In
many ways this is a normal phenomenon. 
The reason people have cosmetic surgery is to look and feel better about
themselves.  In the immediate post-operative
period, the opposite sometimes occurs because of bruising and swelling.

                  This
can make patients anxious and cause them to question their original
decision.  It’s not unusual for
them to feel that their implants are too large or that it’s not really what
they had wanted.  Under these
circumstances they frequently request implant removal. 

                  Fortunately,
after a period of adjustment the vast majority of patients are extremely happy
with their results.  For this
reason, we recommend that patients wait at least 3-6 months before removing
implants.  Although implants can
theoretically be removed at any time following breast augmentation surgery, we
feel that this delay is appropriate. 


                  If
you’re considering implant removal seven days after breast augmentation, it’s
important that a lengthy discussion occur with your plastic surgeon.  In most cases it’s appropriate to delay
removal until the dust has settled. 
During this time, patients frequently adjust to their new implants and
become satisfied with their result. 
If a decision is made to remove your implants this can easily be
accomplished under local anesthesia.  

Breast implants can be removed at any time following placement but generally should be deferred for at least 3 months. Prior to this you really have to question the motivations for placement. Expect fees to be charged for this.  

Having breast implants or any surgery is a big decision. If you are having regrets after your surgery, please be patient and allow the tissues to settle and the swelling to resolve. It would be a mistake to rush back to surgery. My recommendation would be to wait at least 3 months after your surgery. You need to have a careful discussion with your surgeon to discuss all your options.

Hopefully, you spent some time making your decision to have breast augmentation. Like many patients, you probably did. Thus, you were interested enough to have them done and to request a certain size. Don't rush into anything too hasty at this point. Anytime there is a change to one's body, it can take some time to absorb one's new look, whether it is new breasts or a new nose. Your body will accomodate to your new implants over the next two months or so depending on how tight your tissues were prior to surgery. You are not the first patient to reconsider their decisions, but many patients who have doubts tend to be very satisfied later.

In your words, things "look nice" so I am assuming you do not "hate" them from a cosmetic standpoint. I almost get the feeling that you feel that the implants themselves are causing you to be anxious or nervous. You should understand that this is likely not the case. You are only one week postop and may be having some residual anxiety associated with anesthesia or pain medications. I strongly believe that if you wait this out you will be better off in the long run.
The actual answer to your question, however, is that you can have them out at any time and would require very little sedation to do so.

Many patients go through second thoughts after breast surgery... they are too big... they are too small... I want them out.
If you can weather the storm, chances are that you will enjoy them for many years and forget about this tough period.
Remember that you wanted them enough to have surgery. That need will still be there if you remove the implants, and you may have great regrets about removing them.

It is not uncommon that some women feel like this after the surgery. It is a big change and you have to be prepared or prepare for it mentally. You can have them removed at any time. It is obviously a lot easier taking them out than putting them in for the first time.

But what I would say is give yourself 4 months' time from the time of surgery. See how they are and how you feel about them at that point. If you still desire to have them out at that point, then go for it.

Good luck. Hope that advice helps.
