Dr. Robert Whitfield discusses bacterial contamination in 29% of breast implants and immune responses resembling organ rejection. He's planning a live session on fat transfer and implant removal procedures.
I think we just need to give patients, and if you're a practitioner listening, we want to give them the best possible information. So the literature reflects that 29% have bacterial contamination. These new studies show that there's ongoing immune system activation mimicking organ rejection at the tissue levels with activation of T cells, B cells, and plasma cells. So. We, we want everybody to be armed with the appropriate information. And so with that, you know, I will say in the future, we'll do a live about simultaneous fat transfer and explant, which I do routinely, given a certain set of circumstances. And, and that will be our next live. So with that, I will take some questions. My team is looking at all the comments now, and we'll try to go through a number of these questions.
