A member asked:

How is implanon removed exactly? any risks? have read horror stories online. mine comes out next week. nervous.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Easy: It's pretty simple. We clean the skin, numb, make a small incision, take it out, then tape it closed. Nothing horrifying about it unless whoever does it is not familiar doing it.
