Overview
How is a contraceptive implant removed?
- This procedure should always be performed by a healthcare professional trained in implant removal.
- The process typically takes about 10-15 minutes, although it may take a little longer if the implant is positioned deeper under the skin.During the procedure, you will be positioned comfortably on an examination couch, with your arm bent at the elbow.
- The area where the implant is located will be carefully prepared and cleaned, and a local anaesthetic will be used to ensure your comfort.
- Once the area is ready, the implant will be gently removed.
- After removal, a sterile dressing will be applied, followed by a pressure bandage to support healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to have my implant removed?
Your implant can be removed at any time. If it is removed within 3 yrs of insertion there will be no need for additional precaution prior to the procedure. If you do not wish to become pregnant, you will need an alternative form of contraception as soon as the implant is removed. If it’s been more than 3yrs from the date of insertion, you will need to discuss this with us or your regular doctor to ensure that there is no risk of pregnancy.
What should I do before getting my implant removed?
Make sure you can feel both ends of your implant.
If you can’t feel both ends, it may be more difficult to get it removed and we may need to refer you to a Deep Implant Removal Specialist Clinic.
Is an Implant removal painful?
Having an implant removed is not usually a painful procedure. We numb the skin by injecting lidocaine local anaesthetic under the skin. Injection of the local anaesthetic can sting a bit but only for a few seconds.
How will I feel after a contraceptive implant removal?
Generally, you should feel completely fine after the removal. You can eat and drink normally. There may be soreness and mild swelling at the site of the implant removal but this should resolve within a few days. It may look bruised for a week or two. The pressure bandage is removed after 24 hours and the sterile dressing(s) removed after 3-5 days. Keep your upper arm dry in the meantime.
How soon can I get pregnant after a contraceptive implant removal?
Once the implant is removed, there is no protection against pregnancy. You can get pregnant as early as 7 days after removal.
You can get another Implant fitted straight away during the same procedure if you’d like a new one inserted. If you want to use another method of contraception, you’ll need to start it immediately, on the day of removal of the implant.
