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

September 15, 2018
Asked By:margene1 in San Diego, CA

The implants caused me hard psychological discomfort, and I just want to remove them ASAP in order to preserve at least the skin tone, but my surgeon told me that it’s not possible to do that during the first year post op because it may cause tissue inflammation, and that the mammary gland has not resumed its normal cycle of operation yet, and that if it was interrupted again this could cause other complications. This news has made me even more upset. What’s your opinion about that? Thank you..
