None : None recovery or maybe a weekend, if infection may need to leave wound open and require weekly irrigations but people recover right away once the implants are remove make sure you consult a board certified plastic surgeon.

Breast : Breast implant removal is a relatively simple procedure. Implant removal can usually be performed under local anesthesia in patients that simply desire implant removal. The recovery is also very quick, usually you will go back to normal activity the next day. When implants are removed for infection, the pocket (where the implant was sitting) will need to be irrigated with saline to help remove all of the infection - and this can usually be performed with local anesthesia, but may require some IV sedation depending on the extent of the infection, and the comfort level of the patient. The recovery from this is probably more dependent on the infection rather than the actual surgery. The implants will need to stay out for several months before they can be replaced.

Quick Recovery.: Sorry to hear about the complication you have experienced. Generally speaking, removal of breast implants is a very well tolerated procedure when it comes to discomfort and recovery time. Sometimes the use of drains are necessary; often breast re augmentation may have to wait for at least several months. Best wishes.

Less than insertion: Implant removal is a far quicker recovery than implant placement. Drains may be indicated for infection. However, you will likely expereince relief and diminished pain. Depending on the size of the implant, your breast will need to undergo contraction which will take a variable amount of time ranging from 3-9 months.
