Usually : Usually the discomfort from secondary breast augmentation surgery is significantly less than your first surgery. This is especially true going to a smaller size. Depending on other factors from your first surgery you could require tissue tightening or manipulation which could increase your discomfort slightly.

Much less: Going to a smaller implant or removing them completely will be much less painful than the first surgery. If you desire a breast revision for implant complications, but want to keep the implants, this can be more painful. http://www.dassmd.com/breast-enhancements/breast-implant-revision-los-angeles.html.

Not Painful: Removal of breast implants is a generally very well-tolerated operation with minimal discomfort and recovery time compared to initial breast augmentation surgery. Your plastic surgeon will be able to guide you when it comes to more specifics as to what your breasts may look like after breast implant removal. Best wishes.
