Because there are so many unknowns for women with breast implant illness, Dr. Whitfield’s approach to each and every breast implant removal surgery is as cautious and precise as the treatment of a breast cancer patient. While performing breast implant removal surgery, or “explant” surgery, Dr. Whitfield does everything possible to keep capsular tissue intact without compromising the shell of the implant. The goals of the procedure are the same, whether the case is a total capsulectomy, a precise total capsulectomy, or an en bloc capsulectomy: to take everything out, as intact as possible. Having cared for thousands of breast patients in his career, Dr. Whitfield has seen it all and knows how risky it can be if something is missed during an explant procedure. By taking all of the material out undisturbed, he ensures a more accurate pathology report at the end of the case. In this episode, hear Dr. Whitfield thoroughly explain the surgical techniques he uses to successfully remove breast implants.
