A member asked:

Arm swelling after getting implanon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Minor swelling okay: There may be a little local edema in the area surrounding the Implanon insertion site. If there is an expanding area of redness associated with the site, this may be a sign of infection. See your doctor.
