I really want my implants out, however, I’m unable to get any time off work, without risking getting fired. I was wondering how soon I could be able to work again? I work a job that requires me standing up for 8 hours.

Answer: Implant removal Dear whocarsssss,The majority of implant removal patients need a few days of downtime. Depending on the work environment (heavy lifting, etc) more time off may be necessary. Patients are encouraged to walk immediately after surgery to avoid blood clots in the legs. I suggest that you follow your plastic surgeon’s post-operative instructions, especially on the level of activity that you can do and your scheduled follow up checkups, for faster and recovery.Daniel Barrett, MD
