I was pressured to go larger than my frame would support. My fold was lowered. It gets worse by the day, as the implants drop. I brought concerns to my PS who called me an idiot and was rude. I am so depressed and embarrassed about their size I don’t leave the house and won’t go home for the holidays. I want them out. They’re starting to cause severe stretch marks. Please help. How soon can they be removed? Should I find a new surgeon? Mine is very rude and prideful.
Answer: Breast implant removal hello emajs You can have your implants removed when you are ready, and you should find a more professional PS who is board certified. #concern #removal

Answer: Implant removal I am so sorry to hear of your circumstances. You can have your implants removed whenever you wish. You should have faith and confidence in your surgeon, so yes I would recommend searching for someone who instills those qualities. You may consider exchanging your implants for a smaller size.

Answer: How soon can I take implants out? (Photos) You may have the implants removed at any time; you may want to consider exchanging them for smaller ones. No one can truly predict how your breasts will look after removal as each soft tissue envelope will respond differently, but you may do well with just removal. The smaller the implant and the less the amount of time it has been since placement, the greater the chance to return to the preoperative state. The implants can be removed through the same incision if you would like. Fat grafting to the breasts may be appropriate to help restore volume and recreate the appearance of breast fullness.

Answer: Explant Good morning!Sometimes it's just feels wrong- if you're not happy then certainly you can take them out now. In fact the earlier you remove them the faster and better the skin can shrink back down to the size and shape you were preop. In terms of finding a new surgeon, it sounds your PS didn't leave you in a good situation. If they are willing to remove your implants then it will certainly save you money, but on the other hand the relationship may be past that point and your best option may be to choose a new surgeon, hopefully one with a little more compassion.
