What to Know About Implant Placement at Clinica Santa Maria Southmost
If you’ve been considering an effective method of birth control that offers both convenience and long-lasting results, you may have questions about implant placement. This form of contraception involves a small rod being inserted under the skin of your arm, which releases hormones to prevent pregnancy. As you weigh your options, it's essential to understand what to expect during the procedure and how it can benefit your lifestyle.
What is Implant Placement?
Implant placement is a highly effective birth control method that involves inserting a flexible rod into the upper arm. This rod releases hormones that can provide protection against pregnancy for several years, making it a popular choice for many women. At Clinica Santa Maria Southmost, our experienced healthcare team can guide you through the process and answer any concerns you may have.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Before the procedure, you will have a consultation to discuss your health history and ensure that this method is suitable for you. The actual implantation is a quick and simple process that usually takes less than a minute. A local anesthetic will be applied to minimize discomfort, and you may experience only mild pressure during the insertion.
Benefits of Choosing Implant Placement
One of the primary benefits of implant placement is its long-term protection. The implant can provide effective birth control for up to three years without needing any daily action on your part. Furthermore, it’s easy to remove when you decide to start a family, restoring your fertility quickly. Many women also appreciate the privacy that the implant offers since it is not visible and doesn’t require any special attention once in place.
Aftercare and Considerations
After your implant placement at Clinica Santa Maria Southmost, it's normal to have some tenderness, bruising, or swelling at the insertion site. These symptoms usually resolve within a few days. Our team will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal recovery and effectiveness of your implant. Moreover, you should schedule follow-up visits to discuss any concerns and to monitor your health.
