This procedure is designed to remove lumps that may develop as a body reaction to an implant. The implant-caused lumps are not dangerous, although they may sometimes cause breast disfigurement and weakening of the implant envelope that may finally result in implant rupture.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure takes 1 hour to complete, and is done under general anesthesia.
What is the recovery time?
Slight physical activities are allowed a day after the surgery already, while greater physical efforts are not recommended for at least 10 days. In general, a full recovery follows in 1-2 weeks.
