Explant with capsulectomy recovery expectations. 8 year old saline implants. Any suggestions?

Asked By:Bostongal63 in Yucca Valley, CA

I am scheduled for removal of my 350cc sub pect. implants next week. The doctor has recommended a complete capsulectomy as well. My implants are intact and I have no issues with capsular contraction or any other complications. They are just too large and I am ready to have them out. He has recommended using exparel for post op pain control. What should I realistically expect for pain? is exparel really necessary? Compared to the pain from augmentation what will the recovery from explant be like?
