I just got breast implants a little over a week ago. Now I want to remove them but wondering the possible complications?

Question

I am a 19 year old female and recently got a breast augmentation (silicone round implants with 200cc one side and 225cc another). I went from being a 32AA and now am a full B cup. I am having regrets now as I do not like them at all (they look very fake and feel so firm! I am wondering when the best time to get the removed be (for minimal scarring and less saggy tissue). Should I be getting the removed in the first 3 months after my implants? What would the cost be around for this procedure?

I'm sorry that you are unhappy with your implants.  Before you make the final decision to remove them I encourage you to speak to your surgeon.  You are very early in your recovery and can expect changes in your breasts as swelling resolves and the implants settle.  The breasts will feel softer with healing.  If you choose to have them removed you can do so at any time.  There are minimal risks and you can anticipate a short recovery time.

Dear V_b,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You are very recent from your surgery and still have swelling and tightness. You need to give yourself time to heal and then really evaluate your breasts. Right now is too early and is doubtful that your surgeon would remove them right now.

Without seeing before and after photos of your breasts, very hard to recommend removal. Why not ask your implanting surgeon to remove at a discounted fee? Otherwise fees are in the $3,000-$5,000 ranges. If you are so sure you want them out, why wait?

Dear V
I would wait for three months before I react. The new breasts take time getting used too.  And the change (getting more natural looking and feeling ) over the first six months. 
Removal is a simple procedure and most times can be performed using your original scars.
