How is IMPLANON removed?
Your healthcare provider can remove IMPLANON at any time with a minor surgical procedure in the office. He or she will make a small incision in your arm and remove IMPLANON. A local anesthetic is used for the procedure. Some minor bruising, redness, swelling, and/or pain may occur where IMPLANON was removed. Your healthcare provider should not attempt to remove IMPLANON unless its location has been firmly established (e.g., by palpation [touching]).
