  • Episode 40: What Are the Treatment Options for Breast Implant Illness?

    Breast implant illness continues to be a condition struggling for recognition within the medical community. While this condition entails various symptoms that can be as diverse as chronic fatigue, joint pain, cognitive issues, and even autoimmune reactions, making it a complex and often perplexing condition to diagnose and treat, the approach to treating breast implant illness has evolved significantly over the years.

    In this episode, we delve into the treatment options for breast implant illness, exploring the journey from surgical removal to a more personalized and holistic approach aimed at addressing the root causes of this condition and restoring patients' health and well-being.

    Genetic factors contributing to chronic inflammation in breast implant illness

    In my experience, I began working with patients who had breast implant illness sometime around 2016. Surgery was then the primary treatment option for those with breast implant infections, which eventually evolved into what we now refer to as breast implant illness (BII). However, by 2023, our approach has transformed significantly as we have developed a holistic accelerated recovery program (HARP) that precedes surgery, and it is focused on identifying underlying factors outside of the implants that contribute to chronic inflammation.

    I firmly believe that chronic inflammation is at the core of breast implant illness, as I have discussed in various interviews and on my show. That is why in our holistic accelerated recovery program, we consider each individual's genetics as certain genetic profiles can make them more prone to inflammation-related issues. Factors such as poor vitamin D metabolism, compromised methylation pathways, limited glutathione binding in the liver, and weak antioxidant pathways can all increase susceptibility to chronic inflammation.

    Understanding this genetic basis helps us make sense of the diverse symptoms that patients present with, which often perplex healthcare providers unfamiliar with breast implant illness. It's not about categorizing it as a specific disease entity, but rather comprehending the genetic factors that lead to chronic inflammation and tailoring treatments accordingly. This personalized approach allows us to address the root causes and provide more effective care to individuals struggling with breast implant illness.

    Reducing inflammation through diet and supplements

    As an innovator in the cosmetic surgery field, my goal is to create products that offer the best possible outcomes and promote rapid health restoration for my patients. One vital aspect of this is actively addressing inflammation in our bodies and we can achieve this through a combination of dietary adjustments and supplementation.

    I've developed a specialized inflammation support bundle that has been tremendously effective for my patients. To tackle the challenge of "pill fatigue" among my patients who find it impractical to take numerous daily pills for inflammation, I've incorporated liposomal versions of essential vitamins and minerals in the bundle. These liposomal supplements are designed for direct absorption in the mouth, eliminating the necessity for them to pass through the digestive system.

    Addressing root causes through inflammation reduction for illness recovery

    To identify the underlying factors contributing to a patient's condition, we examine various aspects of their life. This includes assessing their environmental exposures, dietary choices, air and water quality, and stress levels in both their work and home life. We also investigate their hormone metabolism and assess whether estrogen is causing toxicity.

    Before surgery, we conduct thorough preoperative assessments in my clinic, employing functional and genetic testing. We address these factors by utilizing supplements designed to reduce inflammation, such as my Inflammatory Support Bundle. The ultimate goal is to reduce inflammation because it is at the core of most organ diseases. Whether it's kidney failure, liver disease, heart disease, or lung disease, chronic inflammation is a common denominator.

    I often emphasize that you can't escape the consequences of a poor diet, and you can't choose your genetics. It's essential to understand your genetic predispositions and take proactive steps to control and minimize inflammatory triggers in your environment, your diet, and your overall lifestyle. By effectively reducing inflammation through various measures, you can create a more favorable environment for addressing symptomatic breast implant illness.

  • Episode 39: Are Certain Types of Implants More Likely to Cause Breast Implant Illness?

    One of the frequent significant concerns that I get concerning Breast Implant Illness (BII) is its potential association with the type of breast implants used. This is in line with health issues regarding some implants like textured implants, which have garnered more attention due to their close connection to conditions like anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

    As we aim to uncover more about the complexities surrounding breast implant illness, this is another episode that will surely provide insights into the potential influence of various implant characteristics on the development of breast implant illness.

    Breast implant illness and its association with different types of implants

    I often get asked about how breast implant illness develops and whether certain types of breast implants are more likely to cause it. To address this comprehensively, it's crucial to understand everything at play, especially concerning breast augmentation and reconstruction. I consider breast implant illness to be a form of chronic inflammation that can affect various systems in the body. When considering its development, it's essential to take into account various factors, ranging from implant materials and textures to individual patient factors.

    While extreme symptoms can occur with textured implants, it's not a guarantee in every case. Textured implants have garnered attention due to their close association with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and had a worldwide recall. Specifically, the texture and surface of Allergan implants were quite aggressive and were initially designed to prevent implant rotation, especially in cancer reconstruction patients.

    Textured surfaces were crucial in both stabilizing the implants and sculpting a comprehensive breast shape or form for patients. Nevertheless, their effectiveness in implant retention could also lead to the stimulation of nearby tissues, which might be a contributing factor to the emergence of symptoms linked to breast implant illness.

    Taking a comprehensive approach to evaluate symptoms and identify root causes

    In the context of oncology-related breast reconstruction, when natural breast borders have been weakened or removed, reconstructive surgeons have employed various techniques to keep implants in place. One of the techniques that has been historically employed to address this issue is the use of textured tissue expanders. These expanders were introduced as a means to create a stable pocket for implants, preventing their rotation and facilitating the sculpting of a comprehensive breast form, especially in cancer reconstruction cases. The textured surface was instrumental in achieving these objectives by enhancing the adherence of the expander to the surrounding tissues, thereby reducing the risk of breast implant migration.

    However, while these expanders undeniably serve as valuable tools in breast reconstruction, the rough surfaces of these expanders can stimulate tissues and potentially lead to more symptoms. It's important to note that severe symptoms can be associated with any type of tissue expander.

    At my clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to evaluate symptoms and identify root causes. We use functional genomics, toxicity testing, food sensitivity testing, gut microbiome evaluation, and hormone assessment to determine any potential reasons behind a patient's health issues. I believe in examining all aspects of a patient's health because the implant itself is just one factor in this complex situation, based on my experience.

  • Episode 38: Can Breast Implant Illness Be Cured Without Explant Surgery?

    Breast implant illness (BII), marked by a variety of symptoms thought to be associated with breast implants, presents a multifaceted hurdle for individuals aiming to find a remedy without resorting to the removal of the implants. The wide range of symptoms experienced by patients underscores the intricate nature of the challenge, necessitating a holistic approach to addressing these concerns while retaining the implants in place.

    This episode aims to shed light on the intricate and often puzzling world of symptoms associated with breast implants, and whether there's a possibility of finding relief without opting for explantation surgery. This is to equip more people with the insights necessary to make well-informed choices concerning their health and overall wellness.

    Can breast implant illness be cured without explantation?

    Breast implant illness is characterized by a range of symptoms thought to stem from breast implants, creating a complicated dilemma for individuals looking for a remedy without undergoing explantation surgery. Delving deeper, it becomes evident that if the implant substantially fuels inflammation within the body, efforts to mitigate persistent inflammation without removing the implant are likely to prove ineffective. And so, the short answer is no; breast implant illness cannot be cured without explant surgery.

    Regardless of the type of implant (hip, knee, breast, dental, cardiac, neurologic), if it serves as a stimulus to the immune system, complete resolution of chronic inflammation symptoms is unlikely without explant surgery. There are discussions regarding different approaches to explant surgery, such as on-block capsule ectomy, partial capsulectomy, or total capsulectomy.

    However, caution is exercised to avoid creating new problems for the patient, especially concerning lymphoma associated with breast implants, which has a low incidence. The approach to surgery depends on factors like capsule thickness, patient history, and implant placement.

    Chronic inflammation in surgical implants

    Drawing upon my extensive experience in the realm of plastic surgery, I have performed numerous explant surgeries, allowing me to accumulate a wealth of knowledge and expertise in this field. This includes a substantial number of oncologic procedures, further enhancing my grasp of the intricacies involved.

    In fact, my focus during explant surgeries is on thoroughly removing all materials. This focus stems from a dedication to minimizing the likelihood of any potential immune responses that might arise post-surgery, ensuring the best possible outcome for each patient.

    One significant thing I found from our study was that about 30% of cases showed a bacterial biofilm, specifically Cutibacterium acnes, present in various areas of the body. The presence of biofilm in implants, regardless of the type, highlights the potential for chronic inflammation. In such cases, complete resolution of chronic inflammation requires the removal of the implant, reinforcing that chronic inflammation won't be fully resolved if the implant remains, irrespective of its type.

  • Episode 37: Toxicity Testing for Heavy Metals, Mold Toxins, & Environmental Toxins like Glyphosates

    Understanding our genetics plays a significant role in how effectively we can detoxify our bodies. Our genetics not only defines our physical characteristics but also shapes how our bodies manage and eliminate toxins. Such genetic influence permeates every aspect of our detoxification mechanisms, affecting the effectiveness of processes such as sweating, breathing, bowel movements, and urination.

    When I encounter patients who are dealing with various health issues, such as chronic inflammation, particularly in cases like breast implant illness, it often ties back to the liver and kidney's ability to manage toxins. Today's episode holds such significant importance as we will explore the vital role these organs play in detoxification and delve deeper into the impact of various toxins, including heavy metals, mold toxins, and environmental toxins like glyphosates, on our overall well-being.

    How Environmental Factors Impact Detoxification and Overall Health

    The breast implant may contribute to chronic inflammation in a person, but their ability to manage detoxification, environmental factors like their location or environmental surroundings, air quality, water sources, and dietary choices play a significant role in shaping their health. That is why when I assess my patients, I pay close attention to their inflammatory symptoms, especially in the nervous system, where signs like brain fog, memory issues, and neuropathic pain can manifest.

    These inflammatory symptoms are particularly concerning in younger individuals, especially those with children. The adverse effects are not limited solely to neurological symptoms like brain fog and memory issues. They encompass a wide array of discomforts, including conditions such as dry eyes, persistent coughing, moments of breathlessness, sensations of chest tightness or discomfort, and a spectrum of digestive issues like heartburn, acid reflux, constipation, and diarrhea. Additionally, individuals may experience musculoskeletal pain, with persistent aches and discomfort in their joints and muscles.

    Fortunately, I've learned to understand how each person detoxifies by listening to their experiences, conducting genetic testing, and assessing their symptoms over many years. This helps me formulate a comprehensive view of their individual health and how they manage detoxification.

    Toxins in Mold Exposure and their Effects on Health

    In our office, we have a few methods to support our findings. Personally, I'm interested in conducting a urine tox test, which can reveal substances like mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental contaminants. The tox test report encompasses a range of toxins, and individuals with significant mold exposure might show the presence of toxins like aflatoxin, beta-one, alpha toxin, and M-one.

    There are also various other mycotoxins, such as ochratoxin, which is sometimes found in wine, with varying regulations in the United States and Europe. As such, people sensitive to mold and ochratoxin can face challenges when consuming wine.

    Heavy Metal Exposure and Detoxification in Patients with Implants

    Heavy metals that may be found in patient's test results include aluminum, beryllium, gadolinium, nickel, platinum, antimony, bismuth, cadmium, lead, mercury, thallium, thorium, tungsten, and uranium. These metals could be acquired through environmental exposure.

    Ongoing research exists about whether medical devices like hip, knee, or breast implants might contribute to metal exposure. In some cases, devices like knee or hip implants can result in what's called "poly wear." Notably, urine tests conducted after the removal of such devices, as in the case of explanted patients, have shown significant improvements in heavy metal levels, even before engaging in a detox program. However, some heavy metals, like beryllium, might linger, warranting further investigation.

    Taking thorium as an example, it is used in the production of welding rods, firebrick, camera and telescope lenses, gas lantern mantles, ceramics, aerospace industry materials, and nuclear reactions. Thorium has also been employed as a contrast agent in medical procedures, but it is associated with various side effects and symptoms related to hematologic, pulmonary hypertension, fibrosis, and respiratory issues.

    In addition to assessing food sensitivities through testing like GI maps and examining hormone levels and other bloodwork, I find it highly valuable to complement this with urine toxicity tests and genetics analysis. This comprehensive approach helps clarify the information I gather during patient interviews and allows us to create a comprehensive overview of why patients are experiencing their symptoms, with a particular focus on understanding their exposure to toxins.

    Additionally, with respect to toxicity assessment, it's worth noting that I've encountered some unusual cases, such as exposure to triclosan. Understanding the chemical components in products we use daily is crucial. Triclosan is present in various consumer products like toothpaste, detergents, toys, and antibacterial wet wipes. Additionally, herbicides like Atrazine and Glyphosates, the latter being a systemic herbicide and crop desiccant, also warrant attention. Exposure to these substances can occur through food, skin absorption, or inhalation in areas where they are used.

    Comprehensive assessments, including genetic analysis, toxicity profiles, food sensitivities, gut microbiome status, hormone levels, and other bloodwork are vital. Such a holistic approach enables us to gain a deep understanding of the root causes of patients' symptoms, providing a foundation for developing effective treatment plans, which may include surgery in cases like explant procedures, and overall strategies for improving their well-being.

  • Episode 36: Do Breast Explant Surgery Patients Also Need a Lift?

    Breast explant surgery represents a significant juncture for patients who have previously undergone breast augmentation, a procedure often embraced to enhance one's physical appearance and self-confidence. However, as time unfolds and perspectives evolve, some individuals opt to have their implants removed and return to a more natural state. We are thus faced with an important question of whether or not breast explant surgery patients also need a breast lift.

    In today’s episode, I’ll discuss an important topic, breast explantation, and how it relates to breast lifts. We’ll explore the various factors that play a role in making this decision Join me for an insightful discussion on this subject.

    Breast augmentation and inflammation reduction

    People often ask me if a breast lift is necessary after breast explant surgery. I firmly believe that a breast lift is not a mandatory requirement after a breast explantation. Each individual's journey through this process is uniquely personal, shaped by their distinct goals, preferences, and body dynamics.

    Recently, I had a patient from New York who was petite and had small implants, similar to many low BMI patients I see whose goal was to achieve a more feminine appearance. Initially, these patients weren't presented with alternative options like a fat transfer or a smaller implant. They had implants sized between three and 400 ccs placed through an axillary approach. In those cases, I focused on the safest and most controlled approach, which was under the breast, to minimize complications.

    As an innovator in the cosmetic surgery field, I create products to optimize outcomes and expedite patients' recovery. Reducing inflammation in the body is a crucial focus for all my patients, achieved through diet and supplements. That is why I've designed a specialized inflammation support bundle to aid in this process, understanding the challenge of managing fatigue for many patients. This bundle includes liposomal versions of essential vitamins and minerals for better absorption without being overwhelmed with pills.

    Breast lift surgery techniques and patient preferences

    In one case, we did the implant placement through the armpit to avoid visible scarring. However, the armpit approach was not suitable for removing all the capsule and scar tissue. Alternative approaches under the breast or a donut lift were discussed with the patient to minimize excess skin during the procedure and to leave less visible scarring. It's emphasized that not everyone requires a lift during the explantation. Thus, individual choice and skin evaluation over time are important considerations.

    This experience reinforces a pivotal understanding in the realm of breast explant surgery - the acknowledgment that a one-size-fits-all approach is not suitable nor advisable. Every person is different, and it's so important to tailor the surgery to each person's specific situation. Considering what the individual needs, wants, and their body's characteristics is key to making the surgery successful. It's all about giving personalized care, understanding what's best through good communication, and really grasping what the person hopes to achieve from the surgery.

    I’ve been performing numerous explantations, or removals, of breast implants since 2016 before I started doing lift procedures. My priority is to minimize scarring and achieve the desired outcomes. I mainly utilize circular or doughnut lifts and lollipop lifts for surgical skin tightening, avoiding anchor or crescent lifts due to their potential impact on future fat transfers. Moreover, I focus on optimizing outcomes with minimal surgical steps and adjustments for patients who opt not to have a lift. Ultimately, the decision for a lift is up to the patient, and I strive to provide them with the information they need to make an informed choice.

  • Episode 35: Can Breast Implant Illness Cause Long-Term Health Issues?

    Individuals with breast implant illness experience a range of health issues, attributing them to the presence of their breast implants. One of the main concerns associated with breast implant illness is its potential connection to chronic inflammation, which can have far-reaching implications for long-term health.

    Understanding the relationship between breast implant illness, chronic inflammation, and long-term health effects is critical for individuals considering or living with breast implants, as well as for healthcare professionals involved in their care and well-being. In this episode, we delve into the intricate interplay between breast implant illness and the potential lasting impact on an individual's health.

    Reducing inflammation through dietary changes

    Breast implant illness is viewed as a problem associated with chronic inflammation that can potentially harm all organ systems. Such inflammation can be aggravated by various factors, including diet, environment, and foreign bodies like breast implants, as well as individual genetics.

    Chronic inflammation is a physiological response of the immune system that, when prolonged, can disrupt the normal functioning of various organ systems in the body. It is often linked to such factors that can result in long-term health issues depending on the affected body systems. Understanding the intricate relationship between breast implant illness and chronic inflammation is paramount in comprehending the potential breadth and depth of its impact on an individual's overall health and well-being.

    That is why the primary focus, when we address breast implant illness, is to mitigate inflammation and its potential long-term consequences on health. To effectively reduce inflammation in our daily lives, prioritizing our dietary decisions is crucial. Making deliberate and informed choices regarding the foods we consume not only empowers us to take charge of our well-being but also enables us to exert a measure of control over the biological processes and responses that impact our overall health.

    The advantages of removing gluten and dairy from the diet cannot be overstated. It also involves a prudent approach toward inflammatory edibles like eggs, cheese, and processed products. Opting for a diet without sugary items, and instead favoring natural sugars abundant in fruits and vegetables, especially those with lower carbohydrate content such as watermelon, plays a significant role in inflammation management.

    Adopting and integrating these dietary adjustments into our daily routines can manifest a swift and decidedly affirmative impact on the reduction of inflammation levels within our bodies. Being mindful of dietary choices not only reverberates through our physiological state but also extends its influence on our broader lifestyle and overall well-being. This proactive step toward reducing inflammation serves as a catalyst, inspiring a domino effect of wellness within us.

    Reducing inflammation through air and water quality

    In the pursuit of effectively managing inflammation within the body, it is highly advisable to undertake a thoughtful approach to water consumption. Taking proactive measures to filter the water you consume is a prudent choice, especially when uncertainties surround its quality, particularly in cases where well water is the primary source. This vigilant stance towards the quality of water underscores a proactive commitment to reducing potential sources of inflammation and fostering a healthier internal environment.

    Equally important is the awareness and mindfulness regarding the air we breathe, and its intrinsic connection to our well-being. Air quality plays an indispensable role in our overall health, making it imperative to exercise vigilance, particularly in regions where elevated levels of pollutants, such as cedar and mold, prevail. By embracing this conscientious awareness and acting accordingly, we demonstrate our dedication to reducing the potential triggers of inflammation in the very air we inhale.

    Utilizing high-quality air filters, like those from IQAir™, can prove highly advantageous, particularly if you're sensitive to mold. Regulating your dietary and water intake and making efforts to enhance air quality can lead to a significant reduction in inflammation.

    Complementing these lifestyle adjustments, integrating crucial supplements like vitamin D3, K2, liquid liposomal vitamin C, oral liposomal glutathione, and a liposomal B complex can deliver vital nutrients in a highly absorbable form, especially beneficial for individuals dealing with gut issues. These methods play a substantial role in diminishing inflammation without the necessity of surgical interventions.

  • Episode 34: Why Does Dr. Whitfield Not Use Drains?

    Drains play a crucial role in breast implant procedures because they help reduce post-operative swelling by preventing fluid accumulation and minimizing any infection risks. That is why I’m often asked why I don’t use drains for breast implant procedures.

    This dates back to an experience that sparked my interest in offering more fat transfer options to patients, particularly those dealing with breast implant illness. It's all about providing the best care and experience for our valued patients and that’s going to be our focus for today’s episode.

    Why do you not need drain tubes?

    The answer to the frequent question of why I don’t use drain tubes after breast surgery dates back to a pivotal moment in my career when a client came to me requesting to have her old implants replaced with a fat transfer despite having no breast implant illness symptoms. Consequently, I agreed to perform the procedure by incorporating drains as part of the process.

    However, one significant issue I encountered during surgeries was the discomfort associated with drain tubes. After completing a fat transfer, we place liposuction garments on the patient, wrap them gently with a bandage, and then insert a drain tube. The downside, however, is that these drain tubes typically create openings in your body that can be susceptible to infections. As such, the more openings you have, the higher the risk of infection.

    By focusing on comprehensive preoperative preparation and cutting-edge techniques, we can achieve excellent results without the need for drains. As a matter of fact, the Tummy Tuck procedure has long been successfully performed without the use of drains. This involves a specific suturing method and the use of internal surgical glue to seal the area, effectively reducing dead space and the risk of complications.

    Minimizing the need for drain tubes in breast implant surgery not only reduces the risk of infections but also streamlines the recovery process, ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience for our patients.

    How does a fat transfer work?

    As I have mentioned, my decision to avoid using drains in breast implant surgeries dates back to my experience with patients who opted for fat transfers. When performing a fat transfer, a patient lies on their tummy, and we usually extract fat from regions such as the love handles, the posterior inner thighs, and the outer thighs.

    We employ a discreet incision measuring just three millimeters, placed just beneath the crease of the buttocks to harvest the fat. These incisions are well-hidden and ensure minimal scarring. This method facilitates efficient fat retrieval and offers the potential for exceptional outcomes, particularly when integrated with skin tightening procedures.

    To enhance patient comfort, we administer long-acting local anesthetic in these areas. Then, the patient flips over, and depending on their needs, we may add fluids to the abdomen, collect more fat, perform additional skin tightening, or proceed with their explant surgery if the abdomen isn't involved. This not only avoids the need for drains but also offers patients a streamlined and efficient procedure with minimal scarring and optimal results.

    A comprehensive program for optimal results

    At my practice, we regularly perform fat transfers, and we've developed a comprehensive program to ensure optimal results. This program involves a thorough assessment, including genetic testing, toxicity testing, gut microbiome analysis, food sensitivity evaluation, and hormone balance checks.

    Considering that we believe in offering a more comfortable and streamlined process for my patients, the resulting discomfort and inconvenience didn't align with our commitment to providing the best possible patient experience. In fact, we also provide a tailored preoperative plan to reduce inflammation using our supplement package and an inflammation support bundle.

    Personally, I have never put a drain in any of the patients I've performed liposuction on as it goes against what I believe in. Whether I'm doing a breast lift with a fat transfer or just a fat transfer, I close the pocket using the incision created for the implant removal. I prefer adding fat through the armpit incision to rejuvenate the upper two-thirds and rebuild the cleavage area.

    We mainly rely on the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Thus, the body naturally drains fluid downward through the breast pocket and beneath the skin through the channels created during liposuction. As we rely on compression, lymphatic massage, and your body's inherent healing processes, we limit any chances of any infections, establishing a safer and more effective approach to fluid management in breast implant procedures.

  • Episode 33: How do I discuss Breast Implant Illness with My Doctor?

    Breast Implant Illness (BII), a term used to describe a collection of symptoms that some women experience after undergoing breast augmentation or reconstruction surgery with implants, remains a condition that’s not yet widely acknowledged by many in the medical field although there are many women suffering from it.

    Many doctors and surgeons may not be well-versed in BII, which can result in misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis, leaving patients struggling to find solutions to their health concerns. That’s why it’s vital to explore more about breast implant illness and dive deep into this topic to take control of your health and wellness. Consider this episode a valuable resource for you to improve how to discuss breast implant illness with your doctor or patients.

    Speeding up the healing process

    In some of my previous episodes, I’ve emphasized how inflammation badly impacts the body. It must be noted that there’s a way to speed up the healing process to reverse aging. That’s why we deem it important to reduce inflammation, especially for women with breast implant illness.

    In fact, one of the most important pre-explant surgery steps that we do is to get rid of inflammation in the body as much as possible. The good news is that we offer a special inflammation support bundle to give you everything you need to expedite the reduction of inflammation. Don't let inflammation hold you back and make sure to visit https://drrobssolutions.com/ for your recovery needs.

    Transplanting a kidney

    Dr. Joseph Murray, a Nobel Prize-winning surgeon, achieved a historic milestone by conducting a kidney transplant from one Siamese twin to another. This procedure required meticulous technical expertise in the operating room.

    The key challenges included the safe removal of the kidney from one twin and its successful transplantation into the other without causing harm. Moreover, the process involved connecting the kidney to the recipient's circulatory and urinary systems by connecting an artery, vein, and the ureter (the tube responsible for urine drainage).

    The success of this procedure hinged on the twins being genetically identical, which ensured that their immune systems did not recognize each other's organs as foreign. However, this raises the question of how a cadaver kidney, obtained from a non-identical donor, can be transplanted. To address this, tissue typing and blood typing are crucial in finding the best possible match.

    Once a suitable cadaver donor kidney is found, protecting it from the recipient's immune system becomes paramount. This is accomplished through medication, with cyclosporine A and steroids. These medications, when administered in the correct doses, effectively suppress the immune response, allowing the transplanted kidney to heal and begin functioning.

    The point here is that it doesn't matter what type of implant it is. When a foreign body is placed in your body, your body tries to get rid of it. Most of the time, there’s a formation of scar tissue whereas in some instances, the body’s inflammatory response either gets worse or does not shut down. This mostly happens when someone’s ability to detoxify genetically is challenged by various factors such as their lifestyle, and environment, and can also happen when someone tolerates the inflammation for so long.

    How to reduce inflammation?

    As an innovator in the field of cosmetic surgery, I consider it my priority to give my patients the best possible outcomes and to restore their health as quickly as possible. The best way to do this is to consistently encourage all my patients to actively work on reducing inflammation in their bodies.

    It is through diet and supplementation that we get the best results for this. To make this approach accessible to everyone, I've introduced an exclusive Inflammation Support Bundle which is designed to provide optimal results through a combination of dietary adjustments and targeted supplementation.

    I understand that many individuals struggle with "pill fatigue," which makes it challenging to consume numerous supplements daily. To address this concern, I've incorporated liposomal versions of essential vitamins and minerals within the bundle. This innovation ensures that you experience full supplement absorption in your mouth without the need to pass through your gut first.

    By incorporating these supplements into your daily health routine, you'll start feeling better and actively combat chronic inflammation. I can't wait for you to experience the transformative effects of this bundle on your well-being.

    Always remember that taking control of your health and wellness is the main key to breast implant illness recovery. If you're looking for additional resources and support for your journey to recovery, be sure to visit our online store.

  • Episode 32: How Does a Fat Transfer Work with Breast Explant Surgery?

    For over 100 years in the field of aesthetics and medical surgery, operations to remove fats have been done. Fat transfers can be successful when approached strategically, considering individual factors to optimize results.

    In my approach to breast implant removal surgery and fat transfer, I strive to create an optimal experience for every client. By combining fat transfer with planned surgery, we aim to enhance outcomes uniformly across various body types and ages.

    Fat transfer for breast reconstruction with Dr. Rob

    It's crucial to consider hormone balance, sex hormones, thyroid levels, and other parameters to level up each client for successful fat transfer.

    We carefully assess functional genomics, toxicity levels, gut microbiome, food sensitivities, and hormone balance. These parameters play a pivotal role in preparing each client for an optimal fat transfer experience.

    We place significant emphasis on evaluating and addressing the unique hormonal profile of every individual, aiming to enhance their readiness for the procedure. In addition to hormone balance, our approach encompasses a comprehensive assessment of functional genomics, toxicity levels, gut microbiome, and food sensitivities. By delving into these aspects, we gain valuable insights into a patient's overall health and suitability for a fat transfer. This detailed evaluation enables us to tailor our approach, ensuring the best possible outcomes for every client.

    Our methodology has garnered attention within the United States and internationally. Clients from various parts of the world seek our expertise and trust our specialized approach to fat transfer procedures.

    We harvest fat from specific areas like thighs, love handles, or abdomen, tailoring the approach to each individual's needs. Using a well-defined fat transfer system, we control the process to achieve the best outcomes. It must be noted, however, that the amount of fat transferred varies based on BMI and specific patient conditions, ensuring a controlled and effective procedure.

    I’ve been using this method for nearly 15 years in my experience with fat transfer in breast implant removal surgery to address issues like rippling and enhancing implant-based reconstruction or augment DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforator) free flap breast reconstruction. However, it's important to clarify that even individuals with a low BMI can undergo fat transfer successfully, as can those with a higher BMI with certain considerations.

    Genetic factors affecting detoxification pathways

    During consultations, I thoroughly assess each client's potential for a fat transfer based on their unique circumstances and fat availability considering that genetic factors play a significant role in determining a person's ability to process and eliminate toxins at both cellular and macro levels.

    Genetic enzymatic capability is of great importance as inherited from parents, especially in effectively managing toxin elimination through sweat, urine, and feces. Our ability to metabolize vitamins like D and efficiently process B vitamins relies on such capability. Additionally, we use antioxidants like vitamins C, A, and E to support our immune system and cellular functions.

    Addressing my clients' detoxification challenges involves a deep understanding of their genetic predispositions, allowing me to set out appropriate methods and approaches that optimize their detoxification processes.

    Detoxification supplements and testing for inflammation and toxicity

    The next step involves evaluating the level of toxicity each patient may be dealing with through a urine toxicity test. This is for the purpose of preparing them and providing appropriate supplementation to aid in expressing these toxins through urine.

    I typically recommend using key supplements like vitamin D3, K, liposomal B complex, liposomal vitamin C, oral liposomal glutathione, D-glucarate, and glycine to facilitate this detoxification process. By assessing food sensitivities and gut microbiome through blood and stool tests, respectively, we gain a comprehensive understanding of the patient's inflammation levels and plan a suitable detoxification strategy. We then proceed with utilizing the Cell Core detoxification supplement line based on the gathered information.
