What is the recovery time for breast implant removal with a lift?

Breast implant removal and lift is surgery, and your body does require time to heal.  Most women can resume full activities in about 6 weeks, including heavy lifting and swimming.  Many can return to work at one week if their job does not involve much travel or heavy lifting.  I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing your concerns.

Generally speaking, removal of breast implants and mastopexy surgery is associated with a relatively quick/painless recovery (compared to the initial breast augmentation procedure), assuming no complications. Most important in your decision-making will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon;  good advise/judgment and careful execution of the procedure will be key.  You may find the attached link, dedicated to breast implant removal concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Breast implant removal with a lift should be a very straight forward simple recovery.  The pain should be minimal to none and you can be back driving and doing normal routine activities within a few days.  Main thing is to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who performs a lot of implant removal surgery.  Best of luck to you
