Dr. Rob Whitfield discusses breast implant illness and safe removal procedures. More people are seeking explant surgery as awareness of implant-related health concerns grows.
Doctor Rob Whitfield, welcome to well Beyond 40. Thank you so much for having me. Long time overdue and a subject that is getting more and more and more attention. I think one of the reasons is you are out there bravely, courageously talking about this, and that is breast implant illness and then how to explant safely. And you know, the obvious question, since most plastic surgeons are known for putting breast implants in and now you're getting known for taking them out, what got you interested in this? What kind of alerted you that there might be a problem?
