Dr. Robert Whitfield introduces a short podcast/video addressing whether there are risks or complications associated with breast explant surgery. He frames explant indications—breast implant illness, desire to remove reconstruction to return to a natural result, or breast cancer patients opting for a flat closure—and notes he has substantial clinical experience treating implant illness and performing explants.\n
It's Dr. Whitfield, and welcome to my breast implant illness podcast. Today's question that we're going to look into deeper is are there any risks or complications associated with breast explant surgery? So breast explant surgery is performed for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, my practice for breast implant illness, it can be obviously performed for somebody who's tired of having their reconstruction, just wants to take them down, wants to go back to a natural result or a breast cancer patient who's flat. I've had a experience in all of those, relatively large experience, obviously in breast implant illness.
