Wanting breast implant removal 4 months post augmentation, potential complications? Polyurethane coated implants, dual plane

I'm sorry you are so unhappy with your augmentation.  You can elect to have your implants removed at any time.  The capsule can be left behind if you choose.  I'm not sure where your surgeon got the information that was relayed to you.  You will have typical swelling after implant removal but it should resolve as the tissues heal.  The sooner you remove your implants the higher the likelihood of your skin's ability to retract.

Removal
is not adequate, you will need a simultaneous lift.  The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma
Method.  This will reshape your breast
tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on
the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation
and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your
previous surgery.  Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

I think it is ok to remove them after 4 months.   I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

There should be no good reason for you to have to wait to get removal of your implants.  In fact it you are certain this is the way you want to go, as you mentioned it may be better than sooner to prevent any further stretching of your tissues.I would assume you have your surgery out of the country if you have polyurethane implants placed.  I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss what your options are.Hope that helps.

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your recovery difficulties.  There is no reason that you should have to wait a year to have your implants removed and I would recommend seeking second opinions for your procedure.  Polyurethane implant use is concerning as they have not been available for use for decades in the US.  Seek out an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss.
