Is It A Matter Of Concern If The Nexplanon Implant In The Arm Has Moved By 2cm?
Yesterday I got my nexplanon insertet, and today when I removed the bandage around the arm, I notices that the implant has moved around 2 cm up from the insertion point. I can t seem to feel the upper end of the implant, but can see and feel the lower end. Should I be worried about it going in my arm? I can feel probably 3 out of the 4 cm length of the implant. It hurts a bit, but I think it s just from the regular bruising. Not sure if I should check this out or just let it heal (unless the pain doesn t go away).

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If the Nexplanon has moved from its position, then there is a need to get it examined by your doctor to confirm that it is in normal position.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
