Excerpt from a YouTube interview (Robert Whitfield MD) about detoxification strategies surrounding explant surgery for patients with suspected breast implant illness (BII). The speaker emphasizes pre- and post-operative detox protocols and remote detox programs, noting many BII patients have genetic limitations that impair detoxification and that environmental exposures worsen the problem.
Is there a protocol, a breast implant, or, excuse me, is there an explant protocol you would recommend that they could adopt to get all those results, to put their mind at ease, their body at ease, and just really enhance the probability of the surgery going well and recovery? Yeah. So we're encouraging everybody through the book to learn about and advocate for those tests and strategies, and then we run a remote detox program for them. So it seems like you really focus a lot on detoxification in pre and post surgery. Why is detoxification so important when we're looking at breast implant illness and overall breast health? I think the genetic limitations we see in this particular patients with breast implant illness are some of the more difficult that you will see. They already have difficulty detoxing, and then as their exposures grow through food, fluid, air, environment, it just gets worse.
