Robert Whitfield MD discusses explant surgery preparation and recovery, covering cardiac and pulmonary testing, supplements, lymphatic massage, and peptide therapy. Out-of-state patients typically stay a week in Austin. His practice treats adults from their 20s through 80s.
Big, big implant in a, A, a patient that it doesn't fit their frame. So you're doing a lift. Maybe they can't, you know, have a transfer. So they've got that body image change that they've got to work through. And we try to provide as much support as possible for that. The kind of baseline medical issues, I've dealt with lots of problems with lots of different issues. Cardiac issues, you know, pulmonary issues, which obviously for us are concerning in surgery. But we've worked through those and got patients to a point where they can undergo their procedure safely and recover comfortably, even if they're coming from out of state. They'll stay here for about a week in Austin. And I've operated on a range of clients, you know, as young as in their 20s and as late as in their, you know, 80s, really. And so that wide range of health and overall age has become independent in terms of us taking care of patients. To minimize any risks or complications. We do all of the testing through my heart program, optimization with supplements, diet treatments, lymphatic massages if indicated, peptide therapy if indicated, you know, IV therapy. Whatever we can do to support the patient, we do because it is a large decision, undergo explant surgery, want to provide the best possible setting for them.
