What is Nexplanon removal?

Nexplanon removal is a short in-office procedure to take out the Nexplanon contraceptive implant, a thin, flexible rod placed under the skin of the upper arm. An Ob-gyn or a primary care provider removes it through a tiny incision. People have it removed when it reaches the end of its approved use, when they want to become pregnant, or when they want to stop or switch birth control.


How long is Nexplanon good for?

Nexplanon is FDA-approved to prevent pregnancy for up to 3 years. It should be removed or replaced by the end of the third year to stay effective. If you want to continue this method, a healthcare professional can place a new implant during the same visit as the removal.


How is Nexplanon removed?

To remove Nexplanon, the healthcare professional numbs a small area of the arm with local anesthetic, makes a small incision near the end of the implant, and gently pushes it out. The visit usually takes only a few minutes. Because the implant must be felt under the skin to be removed, a clinician may first use imaging to locate it if it cannot be felt.


What are the signs that Nexplanon is wearing off?

There are no reliable physical signs that Nexplanon is wearing off. Its effectiveness does not fade gradually with symptoms a person can feel; protection simply ends once the implant reaches its approved 3-year limit. Because of this, the way to keep pregnancy protection continuous is to track the placement date and arrange removal or replacement before that point.


What are the side effects after Nexplanon removal?

After Nexplanon removal, you may have mild soreness, bruising, or swelling at the site for a few days. Fertility returns quickly, often within a week, so pregnancy is possible soon after removal unless you start another method. Many people find that their menstrual cycle and any hormone-related effects return to their usual pattern over the following weeks.


When should you have Nexplanon removed?

You can have Nexplanon removed at any time you choose. It should be removed or replaced by the end of 3 years to keep preventing pregnancy. Many people also schedule removal when they want to conceive or move to a different birth control method.
