Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can I get an appointment in Glasgow?
We often have same-day or next-day appointments available. You can book instantly online or by calling our clinic.
How long does the procedure take?
Implant fitting or removal usually takes less than 15 minutes including preparation and aftercare advice.
Does it hurt to have an implant?
The procedure is usually well tolerated. The implant is inserted under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure.
When will the contraception start working?
If fitted during the first 5 days of your cycle, it works immediately. Otherwise, additional contraception (e.g. condoms) is advised for 7 days.
Can I have an old implant removed and a new one fitted at the same time?
Yes. In most cases, removal and reinsertion can be done during the same appointment, ensuring continuous protection.
What are the side effects?
Periods may become lighter, irregular, or stop. Some women may notice skin changes, mood changes, or breast tenderness.
When can I return to normal activities?
Most people can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. You may have some mild bruising, but this usually settles within a day or two.
How soon can I get pregnant after removal?
Fertility usually returns very quickly after the implant removal — often within a month.
Is the service confidential?
Yes. All consultations and treatments at MedAssistant are confidential, discreet, and carried out by qualified clinicians.
