German-language YouTube interview with Dr. Robert Whitfield MD about why patients chose to get breast implants and why some later seek explantation. The speakers cover common motivations (post-pregnancy changes, body-image reasons, media influence), alternatives to implants—especially fat grafting—and technical options for reconstruction including DIEP free-flap transfer. Practical points include donor sites for fat harvest, DEXA scanning to assess body fat, and a discussion of risks/benefits and informed consent. Dr. Whitfield also states high procedural volume (DIEP and explantation experience) and urges patient education.
