Yeah… basic steps for removal are;
-
feel or find implant and mark the skin
-
make small incision just above or below “the long way”, so at the top or bottom of the tube, not alongside it
-
for bonus points, place glove on patient and have them pitch the implant up to help guide incision and put pressure on the back end of it so it slides out while the practitioner focuses on cutting open the fibrous encapsulation the body places around the implant. You won’t be able to squeeze it out until that capsule is ruptured properly… well, not unless you are a rare person that never encapsulated the implant and it just moves around freely under your skin… in that case it should come out easily.
