The reasons why patients have breast implants or breast explant surgery vary. However, most people still don’t know the risks of having breast implants which is why there are those who undergo breast explant surgery as they suffer from various symptoms like capsular contracture or nerve pain and sometimes, even breast implant illness.

That is why it’s important to find a qualified plastic surgeon who you’re going to be comfortable with. And in today’s episode, we’ll be talking about the process of having breast explant surgery.

Some people think it’s difficult to find a plastic surgeon who would be a good fit for them and that’s understandable considering that we really have to be careful in choosing one.

Some plastic surgeons show examples or a gallery of samples that will help you in deciding what you want. They must have other documents or proof that would show their credibility as plastic surgeons.

Maybe they have a podcast or channel like I do where you can hear them speak before you meet them. That will help you develop a level of comfort with them based on how they discuss breast implant illness and their process for identification, treatment, and planning for surgery.

It’s important that we go through an extensive testing process to really trace the root causes of pain or inflammation and to provide clear and concise answers to the patients should they have any questions regarding their case.

For my patients, coming to see me in Austin is part of getting them ready for surgery. Prior to the breast explant surgery, we coordinate with our patients to make some changes regarding their overall diet and lifestyle. We also take into consideration what supplements and other medicines they are taking that might interfere with the surgery.

We have a Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program (HARP) that gets people on the right track, especially for the breast explant process. We lower the inflammation, if any, and prepare and optimize them for any procedures that they may undergo through.

We'll give you the tips and tricks postoperatively that will help you from a physical standpoint to further empower you not just mentally and physically but emotionally as well in your journey of recovery. We want everything to really go as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
