However, there are times when patients want to have their implants removed for whatever reason. While this usually comes years after the initial surgery, sometimes it can be sooner. How soon can you have breast implants removed?<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While results can be enjoyed long-term, it is understandable for patients to wonder about removal or the experiences of celebrities\u2014Does Emily Ratajkowski have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allureesthetic.com\/breast\/ideal-breast-implant\/\">breast implants<\/a>, for instance? Some patients might opt for early removal due to personal preference, medical concerns, or changes in aesthetic goals, often within months after surgery.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There is not one uniform answer to this question. It depends on the situation and the original surgery. Most of the time, plastic surgeons will recommend waiting for a year because it takes time for the surgical area to fully heal and the implants to settle. This is generally when a patient feels unhappy with the initial cosmetic results, but is having no other problems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, there are some cases where Dr. Sajan may recommend taking one or both of the implants out. While these cases are rare, they can occur. Some examples may include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>High grade capsular contracture on one or both breasts<\/li>\r\n<li>Major infection<\/li>\r\n<li>Implant rupture<\/li>\r\n<li>Severe breast implant illness<\/li>\r\n<li>Allergic reaction<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As mentioned, these complications are rare, often preventable, and sometimes have initial treatments that may eliminate the need for surgical intervention.
