Nexplanon birth control implant: should I schedule with my doctor to have it removed prior to my BA surgery?

Jeanette03:  I don't see any reason why you would need to remove your Birth Control implant prior to breast augmentation surgery.  Remember if you do remove it, you may get pregnant which is actually rather common after receiving breast implants.Best of luck to you!G.Robert Meger MD

Thank you for your question. You should check with your plastic surgeon, but there should be no reason you would need to have your nexplanon removed prior to your breast augmentation,.

Hello and thanks for your question. I don’t see a reason to have to remove your birth control for a routine breast augmentation. Sometimes the concern is anesthesia and birth control because it can increase your risks of DVT or PE. For a simple breast aug, I don’t deem it necessary to have it removed. I would most definitely recommend speaking with your surgeon and notifying him/her of the birth control implant and see what his suggestions are. Best of luck on your upcoming procedure.
