A patient describes getting breast implants on impulse while modeling in LA, then explanting after serious health problems. After removal, she made major lifestyle changes: ditching household chemicals, avoiding red dye, cutting gluten. Dr. Whitfield connects these shifts to gut health and genetic detox challenges.
When I got my implants, it was on a whim. I was living in Los Angeles at the time and.
You know, I was.
Modeling at.
The time and.
Trying to make it. And I just got this idea in my head, you know, I'm flat chested.
Everyone has implants.
Why not?
What can go wrong?
I never knew.
That things could go.
As wrong as they did. If I would have known now all the things that I know now.
And you know, honestly, I've just really, really changed my life since going into your office and getting an explant.
And now there's.
You can't find chemicals in my house.
You're not going to.
Find anything with red dye. Try and stay away. We do stay away.
From gluten as much as possible because we, our entire family is sensitive to gluten.
You know, you have some genetic, you know, challenges with detox, like many, many of us do.
We live in a toxic environment.
Right? I mean, it's not anything new. It is what it is. And having better gut health and having a better diet.
