Implanon Insertion Consent 

1. I hereby authorise the doctor to perform upon me the following procedure: Implanon Insertion. 

2.I have discussed the purpose, the benefits/risks and side effects of Implanon Insertion with the doctor. The nature of the procedure has been fully explained to me. 

3. I understand that the risks of Implanon Insertion include, but are not limited to: 

  • The doctor being unable to do Implanon Insertion on the day 
  • fainting after or during the procedure (this may require prolonged observation or an injection) 
  • Anaphylactic Reaction 
  • Irregular Bleeding, no bleeding, headaches, weight gain and breast symptoms. 
  • Bruising and discomfort for up to one week after insertion 
  • the implant moving from its original position, which could make removal more difficult 
  • Scarring 

4. I acknowledge that no guarantee or assurance has been made to me regarding the results that will be obtained from this procedure. 

5. I authorise the staff of AIM Health Melbourne Student Medical Centre to administer all necessary first aid and/or resuscitation measures in the unlikely event that an adverse or anaphylactic reaction occurs. 

6. I am aware of the effectiveness of Implanon as well as its relative effectiveness compared with other birth control methos. I am aware no birth control methos is completely reliable so I could have a small chance of becoming pregnant. 

7. I understand that the Implanon must be removed by three years since leaving it in place for longer may increase the chances of an ectopic pregnancy and I should have an annual check up while the implant is inserted 

8. I certify that I have read and fully understand the above consent to Implanon Insertion and the associated explanations given by the doctor. All my questions have been answered to my satisfaction.
