But suppose it was an emengry and you needed a MRI right away and it even safe to have MRI with the magnet still in the implant but the magnet may be de-magnetized or lose it holding power that it will need to replace the magnet after the MRI.

The whole implant will not need to be taken out or replaced at all for MRI just the small magnet on it which a small cut in skin is need to pull the magnet out of the implant since the implant sit under your skin.
