A surgeon explains he doesn't routinely recommend breast implant removal. Before operating, he assesses three things: a patient's genetics, toxic burden, and gut health. These factors determine whether explantation will actually help.
This is one. It's an interesting question because I don't ever tell anybody to get an explant.
One of. One of the things that differentiates really good surgeons from average surgeons will say is knowing when not to operate. Yeah. So what are some of the things? Right. I'm sure you have a lot of women who come in and they have breast implants. They're having all of these sort of symptoms. Right. And. But probably not all of them are actually going to benefit from the implant. May not be the problem. So what helps you differentiate when removing the implant is a good idea and when it's not a good idea?
Yeah, this is one. It's an interesting question because I don't ever tell anybody to get an explant. Ever have. It's not part of my program. So if you've decided and that's what you want to do, we'll. We'll let you come into the ecosystem and we'll interview you and talk to you about what options are available and see if there's alignment. But nobody goes through the process now without getting worked up. And our workup is very different, but we're looking at their genetics and toxicity, burden and gut health. And those three things really dictate when and where you can do something.
