Today marks 2 weeks post-op & I regret my decision ever since. My depression & anxiety are through the roof. I am dissatisfied with the size, they look too big on me & make me look top heavy. & my anxiety is being terrified of developing BII or worse, cancer. I want & will get my implants out with the capsule. My “?” is when. How soon can my body handle going through surgery again?

The attached video discusses information to help guide you on the next steps regarding implant removal and your overall well-being. While the general guideline is to wait a few months after augmentation to undergo explantation, your mental and emotional health is very important. Discussing your concerns openly with your surgeon can help determine the best course of action tailored to your situation. Remember, it’s okay to prioritize your well-being, and seeking support is a proactive step in navigating this experience.

Answer: First of all... talk Recovering from plastic surgery is challenging. First, I would encourage you to reach your surgeon and talk with him. Sometimes after surgery, patients experience anxiety or depression. These kinds of feelings and thoughts are encountered frequently. From a technical and biological perspective, the surgery can be done. However, in a few weeks or months, you might regret going in that direction again. Talk with your surgeon, and be patient; swelling will subside. You need to wait to see the actual result of your surgery.

Answer: Implant removal I'm sorry to hear of the concerns you have after breast augmentation. Though you may want to take time to be sure of your decision, you can elect to have them removed at any time. If you get them explanted soon you may not be able to have the capsule removed as it will be very thin and may not be fully formed. Your surgeon will discuss your options with you.
