Robert Whitfield MD discusses inflammatory symptoms linked to breast implants that patients often don't recognize as implant-related. He testified at FDA hearings on breast implant illness in 2019, highlighting how personal accounts have reached regulatory attention.
There's I think a lot of people just aren't aware of the potential downsides to getting an implant. You only, you know, people don't talk that you could have these like, I mean, I've known Lauren a long time. There was never conversations of, hey, you could experience inflammation, or you could experience rashes, or you could experience I don't think people correlate the two. And so this is you know, more and more people are talking about this, and I think it's a fight because many have not had the experience of a poor experience. And others are like, whoa, I've solved everything that was going on in my system. Yeah.
In2019, they had a series of hearings that I testified at the FDA in about implants and breast implant illness. And so this is mainstream with the FDA.
