A short spoken excerpt from Robert Whitfield MD reporting that many women seeking breast implant explantation show markedly low free testosterone and abnormal estrogen levels, often presenting with depressed or absent libido. He suggests implants may initially have been seen as enhancing but over time contribute to hormonal imbalance and decreased sexual desire.
I think we got to go back to what you said, something important. You said they're partners and they enjoy having the implants. Let so what we found is that women who are coming to see us for explants have extremely depressed free testosterone levels and abnormal estrogen levels. So many times they have depressed, if not absent libido. So what may have started out one way has has definitely gone off the rails and ended up the other. And instead of being a thing that made or set the stage for enhancement, now it's depressing their libido. We find that routinely.
