Breast Implants, Explant Surgery and Breast Implant Illness" provides comprehensive, evidence-based information for patients navigating decisions regarding breast implants and explant surgery.
Authored by Dr. Robert Whitfield, a board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed over 2,000 explant procedures, this book focuses on education, data, and measurable testing to support informed decision-making. Dr. Whitfield draws upon extensive clinical experience, including his presentation of the largest PCR-tested explant capsule series, which demonstrated a 29% contamination rate. His commitment to patient education is reflected in his FDA testimony on breast implant safety and appearances on over 160 podcasts.
For individuals seeking scientifically grounded resources, this book serves as a thorough guide to understanding the surgical and systemic considerations associated with breast implants. It complements the extensive database on BII and explant surgery available at drrobertwhitfield.com.
The focus remains on objective analysis and clinical data, empowering patients with the knowledge required to approach their health strategically.
