Implant removal

Just thought I'd post a little something g about my experience of my nexplanon removal for all the ladies/young girls who are worried about having theirs taken out.

So I'm not the kind of person to be scared by needles so I was okay to begin with, so I'm just here to reassure. It was 100% fine! You literally only feel the numbing injection and that's it!

I found it helpful to watch YouTube videos so I know what's going on, did the same with my laparoscopy surgery too. Although a lot of the Ines on YouTube made it look a lot more difficult than it actually was!

It took longer to do the prior information checks and get the cleaning bits out than the actual removal! I've got a 1/2 centimetre cut with 3 stern strips to help hold it together. It doesn't hurt afterwards for me, my skin around the area is sensitive to touch but doesn't hurt.

I hope this helps some people! Xxx

Hello.

I had my implanon removed 6 years ago and it was fine. Actually, insertion and removal was fine.

Like you, the sting for the anaesthetic was the worst part.

Don't worry ladies, it's all fine.

Not what you're looking for?
