    Episode 73: ENCORE: Busting Free with Dr. Amanda Savage Brown
    Jul 4 2024
    Behind the fascination with augmented breasts is a complex truth that involves a number of experiences such as trauma and the necessity for explants or breast implant removal. While breast implants have provided benefits for many women, they have also been connected with major complications and traumatic experiences. In today’s episode, we are joined by Candice Barley, a breast implant illness patient advocate, and by Dr. Amanda Savage Brown, the author of Busting Free: How to Liberate Yourself from the Quest for Better Breasts Before, During, and Long After Explant.

    Episode 72: A Breast Explant Journey: From Sickness to Restored Health with Candice Barley
    Jun 27 2024
    Not every breast explant journey looks the same, but when you hear these stories over and over again, the similarities are remarkable. Today, Candice Barley shares her breast implant illness journey with Dr. Rob. Candice's story is one of hope and ultimately a return to health. If you are struggling with Breast Implant Illness, there is hope for you as well. In our previous episodes, we’ve talked about how inflammation worsens the illness. That’s why we have to figure out whether or not there’s inflammation in the breast implants. So what we do is we work up all the factors that contribute to inflammation by testing through our Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program (HARP) to really prepare the patients and optimize them for surgery.

    Episode 71: What are the Reasons for Having Breast Explant Surgery?
    Jun 20 2024
    Breast augmentation or breast implant surgery has become a more popular surgical procedure throughout the years for various reasons. While it has many benefits, it also comes with potential risks such as capsular contracture, infection, breast implant illness, and more. These risks are some of the reasons why many women opt to undergo breast explant surgery. That’s why it’s important to have a qualified plastic surgeon when considering surgery and to carefully assess both the risks and benefits of having breast implant surgery and other procedures. What Are the Reasons for Having Breast Explant Surgery? My main take from the thousands of operations I’ve done is that we don't want to leave biofilm of any quantity in somebody. So what we do is remove all of what’s intact, if possible. Women seek breast explant surgery for many reasons. There are those who want to lessen the pain from symptoms associated with breast implant illness like brain fog, sound and light sensitivity, shortness of breath, heart palpitations or chest tightness, neurologic symptoms in the arms, nerve pain, muscle pain, and joint pain, while some even experience gastrointestinal symptoms. Whereas some are just tired and unhappy with their implants, some undergo breast explant surgery for breast reconstruction because they have issues with the appearance of their breasts. Maybe they’re uncomfortable with the size or maybe there are gaps or capsular contracture. It’s important to carefully consider having breast explant surgery and to have a qualified plastic surgeon whom you can trust. It also helps to have a great support system around you throughout the process. In our Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program, we have staff in place to provide more emotional support. I have several staff members who've had explant surgery, including our patient advocate and leader of our heart program. If they want to discuss this, we have discovery sessions you can participate in as well. The Best Way to Find Out if Your Implant is Inflamed In our previous episodes, we’ve talked about how inflammation worsens the illness. That’s why we have to figure out whether or not there’s inflammation in the breast implants.
