A member asked:
How easy can the nexplanon implant break? and if it does, will it still work for the rest of the 3 years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nexplanon: Nexplanon is a flexible plastic so would be very difficult to break. If there is concern that it has broken, your doctor may order an ultrasound of your arm to evaluate. If the Nexplanon is damaged, then it may need to be removed.
