Dear cpeitzRemoval of breast implants is a simple and rather painless procedure and recovery. It is become more and more common and patients say that recovery is simple and pain is minimal.
Usually removing implants is not as painful as first having them placed. However, if the capsule needs to be removed as well, you may have some discomfort.
Surgery should be tailored to the particular patient. Surgical assessment and risk assessment is individualized to the personal history and physical examination.The condition od the implants, the position of the implants and the nature of the capsule is to be assessed and surgery is tailored to your needs.
Generally speaking, removal of breast implants is a relatively straightforward procedure ( associated with a relatively quick/painless recovery). What your breasts will look like after explantation depends on several factors such as: the quality of skin elasticity (the better the elasticity the better the skin will bounce back), the size of the implants used (the larger the implant the more trouble you may have with redundant skin), and the amount of breast tissue present at this time (which may have changed since the time of your breast augmentation).Life experience since your breast augmentation procedure, such as pregnancy or weight gain weight loss, will potentially influence the factors discussed above. If you take these factors into consideration and apply them to your specific circumstances you may get a good idea of what to expect after the implants are removed.Patience is definitely indicated after removal of breast implants; it will take many months for the skin to “bounce back” and for you to see the final appearance of the breasts.Cost of surgery will very mainly depend on exactly what procedure is performed. You will find some average costs of surgery listed on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well. I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast implant removal surgery concerns), helps.
My advice is that not only should the implants be removed(saline or silicone) but the capsule as well.One more consideration, the internal reconstruction after removal can affect the final cosmetic outcome.Costs include surgical fee, in office approved operating room and board certified anesthesiologistHope this helps
In general, explantation is less painful that breast augmentation. Surgery is usually covered by insurance if complications of cosmetic surgery are not excluded, as most 35 year old implants are ruptured or leaking or have capsular contracture or discomfort. Please see the information on my website about explantation as well.

At only 16 days after surgery you are very early. If the sensation was there before the surgery, it is most likely related to the muscle and not the implants.
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...
