How long should I wait before moving forward with breast implants after explant was performed?

Asked By:lex.ham in Young, Arizona

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?
