This YouTube podcast excerpt discusses patient-reported systemic symptoms—notably full-body rashes—that resolved after explanting breast implants. The speaker recounts personal attempts to identify external irritants (detergent, blankets, cleaning supplies), reports rash resolution following explant surgery, and prompts the clinician to summarize striking findings from >1,500 explants, including links to thyroid issues.

Had women show up. Just full body, head to toe, rashes. I had a rash on my legs. Anyone who listens to this podcast can go back like 500 podcasts ago. And I did everything to eliminate things that would bother the rash. I changed my detergent. I changed all our cleaning supplies. I thought it was maybe from a certain blanket I was using. I did everything. And after I got my implants out, the rash went away. Right. So when you explant, you've done so many explants, you've done 1, 500 plus, you said, what are some things that you're seeing that are crazy? You can use me and my thyroid situation if you want to, because I'm still mind blown over that.
