I have already made up my mind to have my implants removed. I am not looking to be persuaded to keep them. I have had 500cc Mentor HP Saline implants placed under the muscle by a crease incision for 3 years. I was a B cup before implants and am now a D cup after.
Answer: Removal of implants Your body will need to time to heal the incisions, which can take up to 6 weeks before you can swim in lake and beach water. Otherwise, removing implants is fairly minimal risk and low pain. If capsules need to be removed, you will experience more pain and swelling. Overall, plan to give yourself at least 2-6 weeks to recover.

Answer: Depending on how your body reacts, it typically takes up to 6 weeks to heal from implant removal Removal of breast implants, intact or ruptured, may have positive implications if patients are symptomatic. A constellation of symptoms associated with breast implant illness, and autoimmune disease are considered when treating patients who have breast implants and are concerned about foreign body reaction. In our office, we begin this journey with a consideration of symptoms and exclusion of obvious autoimmune problems. In many of our patients, en bloc removal of breast implants with capsulectomy is important and beneficial. Further clinical evidence about breast implant illness is evolving and will continue to guide treatment. I would suggest removal if there is a possibility of foreign body reaction.

Answer: Healing After Breast Implant Removal Many patients report the recovery and healing is much more easier than the original breast augmentation procedure. The #incisions should take approximately a week or two to heal up. You may experience some #discomfort at the incision locations for a few days and a pain reliever may be prescribed to you. Since the breast pockets where the implants were formerly located are now empty and less affected as they were in during the original augmentation, pain within the breast pocket may further be decreased. Side effects of the procedure are possible and each patiemt differs as they recover. At any time during your post-op #healing you have any concerns, do not hesitate to contact your doctors to further inquire.

Answer: Recovery from implant removal The recovery for this procedure is minimal if you are simply removing the implants. The incision is very small and most people experience very little post operative pain. If you choose to remove the capsules or have a lift with the removal, this will increase the recovery time.

Answer: Roughly how long does it take to heal after implant removal? Thank you for your question. Removal of saline implants is a straightforward procedure and recovery time is a matter of days. You can return to exercise within a few weeks, but be aware that you will have extra skin that may require a breast lift to remove, as well as to reposition the nipple in a more youthful position.
