What to expect on the day of Breast Implant Removal surgery
On the day of your Breast Implant Removal surgery, you will be greeted by our friendly staff and prepared for the procedure in our state-of-the-art surgical facility. You will be administered general anesthesia for maximum comfort during the procedure.
During the surgery, Dr. Pace will make incisions to access the breast implants. The type and location of the incisions will depend on various factors, such as the type of implants and your unique anatomy. The implants will be carefully removed, and any additional procedures, such as a Breast Lift or Tissue Reshaping, will be performed. After the surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area where you will be closely monitored as you wake up from anesthesia.
On average, the procedure can take anywhere from one to three hours. During your consultation with Dr. Pace, he will evaluate your specific situation and provide you with a more accurate estimate of the expected duration of your Breast Implant Removal surgery.
Breast Implant Removal Recovery
The recovery period after Breast Implant Removal varies for each individual, but most patients should expect some initial discomfort, swelling, and bruising. It is important to follow post-operative instructions, including wearing a supportive bra, taking prescribed medications, and attending follow-up appointments for optimal healing and recovery.
In most cases, it takes up to 6 weeks to recover after breast implant removal surgery. It may take between six months to a year to fully heal, and it is not uncommon to experience mild discomfort during this period.
Your recovery is extremely important to us, and we aim to provide all the necessary steps needed for this time to be comfortable and successful.
