Recovery Following Breast Implant Removal [Part 1]

Welcome to the official YouTube channel of Dr. Robert Whitfield, MD, FACS, Austin's Top Explant Surgeon and America's Breast Implant Illness Expert.

It's normal to worry about how you'll feel waking up after surgery. If you're suffering from breast implant illness (BII), you may be even more worried about recovering from those symptoms. Dr. Whitfield goes above and beyond to make the post-op experience as comfortable and painless as possible. He seeks the answers to the difficult questions about what's causing each individual's symptoms of BII and continues to care for and follow up with his patients for an entire year after explant surgery.

Dr. Whitfield's post-op protocol begins on the night before surgery with anti-nausea medicine Celebrex to decrease inflammation and a neuromodulator for anxiety. During surgery, a long-lasting block called Exparel prevents pain and keeps nerves calm for several days. This also minimizes the need for narcotic pain medication, which can make you groggy and cause constipation. If you've had an epidural or had this experience from another surgery, you already know why constipation should be avoided!

To minimize the risk of infection, Dr. Whitfield does not use drains. Contrary to popular belief, research shows that drains cause more infections because they expose incisions to the outside environment and irritate them.

Finally, and most importantly, you'll receive the pathology and PCR test results, which look at 150 different types of bacteria, fungi, and mold. This episode is part 1 of 2 about the recovery process following breast implant removal surgery.
