After numerous complications (contracture, late seroma, recalled textured implants) and two sets of implants, I had an explant with small fat transfer due to chronic pain after my last set of implants, I also found a more experienced doctor. The pain I’ve had is already almost entirely gone after three weeks post op. This makes me think maybe with a new surgeon I could try implants again with better luck. How long do I need to heal from this procedure before getting new implants?

Yes once you are healed from your implant removal surgery you can consider future breast augmentation. There is no way to determine if you will experience nerve pain again. However if you do you can elect to have the implants removed.
