Dr. Robert Whitfield had breast implants removed after nearly two decades of health problems including heart palpitations, anxiety, and sensitivities. He believed he'd chosen saline implants, but they were silicone-wrapped. A year after removal, all symptoms resolved completely.

When I did have them removed, I will tell you, I have never once regretted ever having my ex— or my implants removed. The only thing I've ever regretted is putting them in in the first place because almost 20 years ago, and I did the research because back then they said, well, you shouldn't do silicone, saline is better now. So I did the saline thinking that I was doing the right thing for my body, right? Well, it's wrapped in silicone. So what, what difference is it? And it's a foreign object in your body that your body rejects. So literally, my body was rejecting those. Not only was it— they were just rejecting them, but I was fighting against my own body. And that's why I had so many symptoms and issues. I can tell you, to this day, a year later, I don't have those sensitivities anymore. I can take things and not have a reaction, or my heart palpitations, or think I'm having a you know, anxiety attack just to take a pill, you know, you were— and I was like, I am sensitive to everything. And that was one of the biggest side effects. And I'm not that way today.
