A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video featuring Robert Whitfield MD explaining what happens to breasts after implant removal—how implants compress tissue over time, how tissue (fatty vs glandular) influences post-removal 'fluffing' or deflation, and the office's aftercare offerings (therapist, hyperbaric oxygen, lymphatic drainage). The dialogue emphasizes attentive postoperative support rather than abandonment.
Don't even look at your boobs for two weeks. And I thought that was good advice because what happens if you are thinking of getting your implants out is they fluff up. So can you explain, like, what the boobs go through?
Just think of when someone loses weight. If someone's breast deflates when they lose weight, that means they had a pretty significant fatty layer to begin with. If their breast stays exactly the same when they lose 10 or 20 pounds, then they have mostly breast and a very little fatty layer. But the implant itself compresses tissue and over time it thins and thins and thins and thins and thins. Now, my supposition is that when you take that away, the cellular recovery or the fluffing that's talked about depends on those layers. Like how much is the fatty layer, how much is the breast layer. But over time, a breast is typically more fatty replaced, so they'll typically be.
More tissue because they go from a double D to an A. Yeah, and that's. That's hard. But you guys have support in office to help. There's therapist. You guys have the oxygen machine, which I've used, the hyperbaric chamber. It's incredible. You also have lymphatic drainage that you go in, you guys, and you put this whole suit on. Everything in his office is set up, which I think is so incredible for aftercare. So it's not like you do the surgery in your art project and send us on your. On our way and good luck. It's very much like you really care, like you said about the patient's experience after removing the implant.
