A plastic surgeon with 25 years of experience stopped using breast implants three years ago after learning they can trigger chronic inflammation. He now uses implant-free reconstruction techniques that leave fewer scars and cause fewer long-term problems.
In 2000, I returned to Colombia. And all the time in Colombia during my practice in these 25 years, in the first time say, okay, the implants is the perfect solution for the breast surgery. For everybody knows the breast is the.
One of the most important parts in.
The women's because it depends everything. The auto perception and the mirror, the sexuality, the clothes, everything is not safe. Here we have a problem. And I started to study the problem and understand about the immunological problem. And I start to understand the chronic inflammation. And I start to see the patients with many, many problems, but they don't know what happened.
We can make it, and we at the same time, we can make a reconstruction of the breast. And the patient can feel safe after the surgery, because everybody thinks, oh, reconstruction deformity.
I say to my patient, now, aesthetic.
Surgery, you have a dream and you.
Go to the doctor and he made the dream for you.
But in reconstruction, you have a problem.
You go to the doctor and the doctor made the best work for you, and you have the less scar, the.
Less problem in the future.
And in this kind of surgery, it's very important for our patients understand this.
Is a very big possibility to recovery, the wellness. Now we know, and in the past three years, I never put any implants for my patients. And in the future, never we use the implants.
I think it's very, very, very beautiful, beautiful situation, because we can help many.
People, millions of women has implants. I think it's a very big problem, like a pandemia, because we have many patients very happy, but with symptoms. They don't know what happened. I say to my patient, no, this is not normal. The normal situation is you have the wellness during the aging process, but no sickness or symptoms. But she thinks, because everybody talk about this, the solution is the implants. But now I don't like the volume. I say, no, you don't like the shape because your volume is the same. But this is very sagging skin. If I take out the laxative skin and make internal techniques to put in the correct position your breast tissue, you will feel the game very good. And you recover your shape, your cleavage, you open for projection and you are very happy without implants. I say, okay, doctor, develop new choices for the patient. But silicone is not the choice.
