Quick: If only the implant was removed and not the capsule you should feel little or no pain. Recovery is not an issue because there is no stress or tension on any tissues. If you are having pain you need to call your surgeon and notify him/her of your pain to be sure there isn't a complication developing.

Breast implants: Most people take a week off from work. They usually have some minor swelling for about 2-3 weeks, and the tissues are tight for about 2-3 months. 80% of my patients only need their pain medications for 2 days.

Depends: If there are no complications, i tell my patients that they should begin to feel like themselves again after a couple of months. Most patients can get back to regular activities in a few days or couple weeks, and full maturity of the scars takes up to 2 years.
