Robert Whitfield, welcome to the show. This is a long time coming. We've been crossing paths and I've been wanting to have this interview with you. It's near and dear to my heart. So many of my friends been sick from breast implant illness. And then after explant surgery and removal, life changed. Hormones come back online. They're kinder, nicer. Like there's a real thing here. And you're an expert. You are the expert when it comes to this. And let's help some people today.
First of all, I think it's great that we're able to do this today. We're actually in Scottsdale at a meeting together, and it's worked out that we're going to be able to talk about this. So I look at breast implant illness as chronic inflammation of which a breast implant is playing a role. And much like many of the friends, family members, loved ones you may have encountered who had this problem and explanted, many of them do well right away. So we already know about 29% of those patients that I explant have a bacterial contamination or underlying infection on their implants.
