This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Robert Whitfield who is a sought-after expert for his treatment of Breast Implant Illness (BII) and for his surgical mastery for breast implant removal and reconstruction. In this episode, Dr. Whitfield tells us how he became interested in BII, the common symptoms seen with BII, modalities he uses to help with recovery when removing implants, and more!
