Short conversational YouTube video (Robert Whitfield MD) about explant surgery care. Speakers discuss patient selection (body-image adjustment after implant removal), preoperative medical evaluation for comorbidities (cardiac, pulmonary), and a range of optimization/support measures (testing, supplements, diet, lymphatic massage, peptide therapy, IV therapy). Out-of-state patients typically stay about a week in Austin; patients span roughly their 20s to their 80s.
