Had a baby in april would like to remove breast implants that are silicone under the muscle. how long will surgery take? recovery? can i do it now?

Breast Implants: Recommend to see the surgeon who put them in, if possible or another surgeon to remove them. Yes, it is okay to remove them now, if you are not breastfeeding. Surgery SHOULD not be long, unless a lot of adhesions or complications. Good Luck.
