In this short testimonial, a patient (Speaker A) thanks Dr. Whitfield for hosting the interview and reflects on reaching the six‑month mark after undergoing breast implant explant surgery in June. The speaker emphasizes gratitude for having the procedure at this point in life, noting that personal and familial circumstances could have delayed the decision. They explain that the explant was essential not only for physical recovery but also for addressing deep emotional and psychological wounds stemming from a traumatic period over the past three to four years. The narrative hints at ongoing personal healing, the importance of community support via social media, and the role of Dr. Whitfield’s care in facilitating the journey.

Thank you, Dr. Whitfield, for having me on here. I'm so honored to be able to share my explant journey. So really where mine started. So actually it's we're right around coming up on the six month mark. I was thinking about that this morning since my explant and I want to start by saying I'm just, I'm so thankful I did it when I did. A lot of my things I'm going through behind the scenes and personal that you won't see if you, if you connect with me on social media could have made me say, oh, I'll do this when right when my kid, my last kid's grown, when I'm through this phase of life or this season. But I'm so glad that I did it when I did because as we'll probably hear later on in here, I needed to address that so that I could start really not only my physical healing, but healing in some of the things that I'm going through personal wise. So I want to start by that for sure. So had my explant in June of this year with Dr. Whitfield, as he mentioned. And so my story is a little bit different in the fact that of other stories I've heard on the show in that or at least what people have shared in that I've gone through, like I said, a really traumatic season of life really this last three to four years.
