Faster recovery with breast implant draining before breast implant shell removal?

September 17, 2023
Asked By:MissSunshine90 in Las Vegas, Nevada

I'm wondering if the healing process for breast explant (local anesthesia and shell only removal) will be quicker since I’ve already had my implants drained and have worn a compression bra for a few weeks? (My breasts have mildly fluffed.) By “quicker,” I mean recovery time before resuming work/exercise and needing to wear the compression bra all over again. Also, will having the shells removed improve the appearance of my breasts? Thank you.
