Robert Whitfield MD discusses breast implant explantation, emphasizing that patients typically come to him after deciding to undergo explant. He outlines clinical support available (pre-op programs, detox/post-op support) but stresses that mindset and a supportive personal environment are critical — if a patient lacks proper mental-health readiness or supportive relationships, it may not be the right time for surgery.
When you come to me, I don't tell you you need an explant. You come to me when you've decided you want to have an explant. I will explain everything about the process and give you all the support with our team, pre op with our programs. And we have a detox team for post op support and pre op support. So we'll do all that for you. But I think you talk a lot about mindset. I've heard you speak about it and certainly have experienced things with Dr. Dispenza. And it's really a complicated process for somebody who's not in the right mindset to come in and ask me for something, because I can't. I'm not a mental health professional. If you're not in the proper situation, from a mindset perspective, or in a relationship where it's going to be supportive for you to do this, then it's not the right time to do that. Copy.
