A short spoken segment from a YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD in which the speaker states they stopped performing breast implant augmentations about five years ago. The speaker emphasizes that the decision was not due to inability but relates to aligning practice and highlights informed consent — offering full disclosure so patients can choose.

I stopped doing augmentations with breast implants about five years ago now. Not because I couldn't do them, or it just didn't align anymore with what I was doing. So I'm trying to help all these folks, and it's fine to put them in, you know, given full disclosure about what can happen and the options. And you're just doing that so the patients have all the information, and then patient makes the decision.
