A short YouTube clip by Robert Whitfield MD explaining how he prepares patients for explant surgery by optimizing diet, lifestyle, supplements, and medication management. He emphasizes a program he calls a "heart program, holistic, accelerated recovery" aimed at lowering inflammation and optimizing patients—particularly those with breast implant illness—for surgery and recovery.
Obviously, coming to see me in Austin is part of getting them ready for surgery. But we work really hard for them beforehand to make as many changes in their diet and lifestyle and supplements, get them off medicines that may be, you know, not helping them, and really get them prepared if they're going to have an explant surgery with us for what that looks like. I think from, you know, our standpoint, adhering to our heart program, holistic, accelerated recovery, that really gets people on the right track for our explant process. But really it's our process to lower inflammation or prepare them and optimize them for any procedure. But in particular, I developed it for my breast implant illness population.
