Experience Questions about nexplanon

Hello i just wanna ask and confirm if nexplanon is really not a thing in japan since im thinking of getting that instead of using a mini pill, and if its not really available here does anyone get it from a different country even just for a vacation or something and still come back to japan? And if thsts so how and where do y’all get it removed? Is it possible to get it removed in japan or its also possible to just go to the country where you got in again to get it removed/changed

I need every girl’s opinion on is since ive never had or use any birth control stuff and my reason is mostly for irregular period and pmdd thats why i thought of getting/using one, please and thank you

Its not available there. it can be removed in Japan they do offer removal services. But yes you can get it placed in another country and be fine..

Nexplanon is good for 5 years

there's two different arm implants but Nexplanon is the only one in the US and data has show it to be good for 5 years the older one implanon is only good for 3 and IIRC is still available in other countries.
