Understanding Breast Implant Illness: Insights from Dr. Robert Whitfield

And so Dr. Rob is here with us, Dr. Robert Whitfield. He's based in Austin, Texas, but he is educating women through his platform. He's got all kinds of educational resources we're going to talk about. But I'm so thrilled to have him on here because he understands what women are experiencing as far as their symptomatology and we can talk about what that looks like. But he's a board certified plastic surgeon, so many different credentials still operates on women every single week. So he is deep in the weeds clinically with everybody. So if you're listening to this, you likely know some somebody that is affected by breast implant illness. I mean, it's so prevalent right now. But there are women that are living in chronic disease and they don't understand what's driving it. And so we're going to talk about what some of those action steps could be if you're looking potentially to explant and what the healing road could look like after you do that. So, Dr. Rob, thanks for joining us on the show. Dr. Motley, glad you're here too.

Thank you for having me on. This is a good, I guess when we say like leeway. I've had some patients in the office in the last few weeks that basically have had breast implant illness and some people don't even know what breast implant illness is. Many of you people out there have had individuals that have gotten chronically sick without any explanation. I had a close friend of mine, his girlfriend kept having that illness or had something going on where they had every test that they could check and she was having some different avenues with mold and she had some different infections. And, and for the longest time he was working on her and he basically helped her out like cleanse, cleanse, cleanse and detox. But she still would not get over that. Humphrey.
