Robert Whitfield MD says if a surgeon claims explant with total capsulectomy isn't safe, they lack the experience to do it and you should find someone else. He and Dr. Parsons have performed complex cancer and chest-wall surgeries, the kind of expertise that matters.
If. If you guys are interviewing surgeons and the surgeon is not comfortable with what you're asking them. So let's talk about safety for a minute. Like, there's this big thing about doing an explant and taking out capsule and it being safe. If they tell you it's not safe, you should directly turn around and leave that office. That person is not experienced enough to have a discussion with you about surgery. Because there is not a safety issue with anybody with the level experience that took care of Danica Patrick, like my friend Dr. Parsons or myself, who's done thousands of cancer surgeries and chest wall reconstruction and everything else. So never make anybody do something they're not comfortable with who's a surgeon. If they're uncomfortable, just.
