Before breast implant removal surgery, Dr. Robert Whitfield conducts a comprehensive discovery session with every patient. This process evaluates the full picture of what is contributing to how a patient feels, not just the implant itself.
Breast implants are frequently one factor among several affecting health. Removing the implant without addressing contributing factors such as environmental toxicity, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, food sensitivities, or chronic infections like Lyme disease leaves the body carrying those burdens into recovery, limiting outcomes before healing even begins.
Dr. Whitfield evaluates detoxification genetics, thyroid function, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone as core parts of pre-operative preparation. He also addresses gut integrity and dietary adjustments to reduce inflammation and support efficient tissue repair.
Surgery is typically scheduled one to two months after the discovery session. That window is used to complete lab work, initiate hormonal support, adjust supplement protocols, and implement dietary changes. Patients arrive at surgery prepared to recover.
