I can't sleep, they hurt, and I feel a little burning in my chest. They are heavy and I can't be on Med's because I have a young child. Overall I'm very unhappy and can't stop crying

Answer: Implant removal Great question! Two weeks is still very early and not surprised that you're still in some pain. Understand that you did have surgery which is a major trauma to the body. Implants can be taken out anytime, but you have to be sure they are being removed for the right reasons. You need to speak with your plastic surgeon and discuss these issues.Best of luck and hope this information helps! - Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsai Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: How soon can I get my breast implants removed. I had them up in almost two weeks ago I am sorry to hear about the stressful situation you find yourself in. There is no "standard" waiting time when it comes to breast implant removal surgery. What is important: make sure that you are convinced that you do not wish to have breast implants in place and are not experiencing (quite commonly experienced) emotional "ups and downs" around the time of surgical procedures. The specific cause of the "postoperative depression" is not known; in my opinion, it is probably multifactorial ( factors such as stress, pain, unanticipated length of recovery, being away from usually enjoyed activities/people…). As I am sure you have read and heard, there is both a physical and psychological adaptation period that occurs after elective breast surgery. In other words, make your decisions very carefully so as not to have future regrets. Your plastic surgeon should be able to help you with specific questions, concerns, thoughts… Best wishes.
