A short podcast/video segment in which Dr. Robert Whitfield introduces the topic of risks and complications associated with breast explant surgery. He frames explantation as performed for multiple reasons (desire for a natural result, reconstruction removal, or for patients with breast implant illness), and notes his clinical experience treating these patients.
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.
