We perform safe removal of contraceptive implants (Nexplanon and Implanon) in Houston TX. This procedure is needed when the implant has reached its expiration (3-5 years), when you wish to switch methods, or when planning a pregnancy.
When should the implant be removed?
- When it has passed its expiration date (3 years for Nexplanon/Implanon)
- If you want to become pregnant
- If you experience side effects you want to resolve
- If you prefer to switch to a different contraceptive method
What to expect during the procedure
Implant removal is an outpatient procedure that takes approximately 15-20 minutes. Our physician locates the implant in your arm, applies local anesthesia so you feel no pain, and makes a small incision to remove it. A bandage is placed and you can resume normal activities the same day.
After the removal
Fertility returns quickly after removing the implant. If you want a new implant or to switch to another contraceptive method, we can do it during the same visit. Our team will provide counseling on all available options.
