Contraceptive Implant Removal in London

Our Contraceptive Implant Removal Package is £1300. This is a complete package rather than a removal on its own, so the fee covers a consultation with a Consultant Gynaecologist, a gynaecology pelvic ultrasound scan, full history taking and pelvic examination, a contraception and fertility review, the implant removal itself, and a follow-up appointment.

You can book online or call us on 020 3687 2939 if you would like to talk through what the package involves before you commit.

Your implant is removed by a Consultant Gynaecologist who is an expert in sexual health and contraception. Rather than a standalone procedure, your appointment includes a full consultation, pelvic examination and a gynaecology pelvic ultrasound scan, so you have specialist guidance alongside the removal.

This package is suitable for any woman who wishes to have a contraceptive implant removed in London. It is designed for people who want more than a quick removal, because it also includes a contraception review, a fertility review and a pelvic ultrasound scan.

If you are thinking about your next contraceptive step, or about trying to conceive, the consultation gives you the chance to discuss your options with a specialist before the implant is taken out.

The package includes a consultation with a Consultant Gynaecologist, a gynaecology pelvic ultrasound scan, full history taking and a pelvic examination, a contraception review, a fertility review, the implant removal, and a follow-up appointment.

Bringing these elements together in one visit means you leave with your implant removed and a clear picture of your gynaecological health and your options for the future.

We are happy to send the conclusions and records of your consultation to your GP, so your regular care team has a full picture of your appointment. This is done at your request and helps keep your NHS records up to date.

If anything found during your consultation or scan needs further attention, we can arrange appropriate referrals, whether private or NHS, as part of your care.

Yes, a follow-up appointment is included in the package, so this is already arranged as part of your care rather than an extra cost. It gives you the chance to check in and raise anything that has come up since your removal.

If your check-up highlights any concerns about your health, we will arrange a referral to the relevant medical professionals, whether private or NHS, who can follow up on those concerns.

Removal should not be painful. Your consultant uses a local anaesthetic to numb a small area of your upper arm for pain relief, so you should not feel pain while the implant is being removed (NHS).

The area may feel numb for two to three hours afterwards (NHS), and if your arm feels sore once the anaesthetic wears off, simple painkillers such as paracetamol usually help (NHS).

Removing the implant — known in the UK as Nexplanon — usually takes only a few minutes (NHS inform). If an implant is a little harder to feel, removal can take longer, and your consultant will talk you through the approach before starting.

Your appointment with us is longer than the removal alone, because it also includes a consultation, a pelvic ultrasound scan, a pelvic examination, and a contraception and fertility review.

Your natural fertility should return to normal as soon as the implant is removed, and it is possible to become pregnant very soon afterwards (NHS). The implant does not have a lasting effect on your ability to conceive.

If you would prefer not to become pregnant, use another method of contraception from the day your implant is removed (NHS). If you are planning a pregnancy, your consultant can talk through pre-pregnancy care with you, such as starting folic acid (NHS).

While the implant is in place, it is common for periods to change — they may become irregular, last longer, or stop altogether (NHS). Once the implant is removed, your fertility should return to normal straight away (NHS), and your own cycle can begin to re-establish itself, although exactly how quickly varies from person to person.

If your bleeding pattern worries you at any point after removal, or your period has not returned and you think you could be pregnant, speak to your consultant or GP for advice. Practical advice on caring for your arm after the procedure is covered in the aftercare section above.

According to current NHS guidance, the implant works for five years before it needs to be replaced, and it is more than 99% effective when it is replaced on time (NHS).

You do not have to wait until then to have it removed. The implant can be taken out at any time, whether you are ready to try for a baby, want to change method, or simply wish to stop using it.
