Breast Implant Removal at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov Medical Center)

The recovery period can be different from one person to another. In the first few days, you may experience some discomfort and swelling. You may also need to wear a support bra or surgical garment, as well as a compression garment to minimize the swelling. Your breasts may also feel tight and heavy for several weeks. However, most people agree that the recovery after breast implant removal is often smoother than the initial breast implant surgery. You should be able to go back to work within five days but avoid exercising excessively or lifting anything over five kilograms for about six weeks following the surgery.

Breast implant removal is considered safe and highly successful. However, the success of the surgery depends on the skills of the surgeon and your ability to follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions. As with every surgery, breast implant removal carries some risks and side effects, including the development of painful scars, numbness of the breast area, sagging of the breast area, breast deformity, loss of sensation on the breast area, as well as a blood clot in your leg or lung.
