Episode 9: NoCut Facelift with Exosomes or Stem Cells
You’ve seen celebrities with facelifts that leave them with an odd, unnatural look–like their face has been pulled too tight. That’s because facelifts, which have been around for over 100 years, have traditionally always been the excision (cutting and removal) of tissue. For so long, excision was THE only option. With today’s advanced technologies, there is a better solution, and I’m discussing it in this episode. Join me to learn more about the no-cut facelift that has no cuts, no scars, and delivers better results and faster healing!
Show Highlights:
Three components of facial aging addressed by a facelift: loss of facial bone, loss of fatty volume, and skin laxity
How radio frequency devices came on the facelift scene—but didn’t solve the problem
How we are leveraging no-cut technology called Ellacor to improve jawlines and deliver superior facelift results with minimal post-procedure redness
How we use exosomes to enhance wound healing
How we are personalizing treatment by using stem cells from the patient’s fat (extracted about 8 weeks before the no-cut facelift)
How red light therapy, an upright hyperbaric chamber, and IV therapy are used to accelerate healing—all in the office
How the no-cut facelift requires only 4-5 days of downtime, with slowly disappearing tiny, pigmented areas able to be covered with makeup after a few days of healing
How no-cut technology is also used on breasts arms, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, knees, etc. with similar results

Episode 8: Finally Finished With Fat [Candice Barley’s Breast Implant Illness Story - Part 6 ]
Candice continues through recovery, shifting her focusing to other aspects of her health such as her passion for fitness. After her failed fat transfer, she finds a new plastic surgeon to fill in misshapen areas with only small amounts of fat.
Dismayed by remaining skin laxity caused by her years of unexplained illnesses and the aging process, Dr. Whitfield details his experience and recommendations for combat skin laxity and promoting collagen synthesis, including radiofrequency microneedling and ALASTIN Regenerating Skin Nectar.

Episode 7: Bumps on the Road to Recovery [Candice Barley's Breast Implant Illness Story - Part 5]
As Candice recovers, her challenges continue. Severe adhesions send her to a doctor for scar release sessions, but incorrect practice of the technique causes the scars to tether back down.
Knowing a fat transfer is on the horizon, she searches for the least invasive solution as she has several surgeries under her belt. She finds a doctor who performs non-invasive fat transfers, but he injects way more fat than needed, causing her breasts to swell up and become larger than her implants ever were.
When she develops a fever, she makes an emergency trip to California to return to the fat transfer surgeon, which ends with liquidated fat leaking out of her breasts. Dr. Whitfield weighs in on what went wrong, and why fat isn’t something to fear in the hands of a good surgeon.

Episode 6: My Approach to Healing [Candice Barley’s Breast Implant Illness Story - Part 4]
Now that the breast implants are finally out, Candice’s focus is on healing and recovery. With the help of a naturopath, her approach to detox includes vitamin shots, herbs, teas, and supplements. She mostly keeps a Mediterranean diet, avoiding processed foods, dairy, and gluten. But it’s the personal sauna she credits with helping the most.
As Candice outlines the disappearance of her symptoms throughout recovery, Dr. Whitfield weighs in with the scientific background and reiterates the importance of genetics, hormones, and diet.

Episode 5: The Search for a Surgeon Who Would Listen [Candice Barley’s Breast Implant Illness Story - Part 3]
While searching for the best surgeon to first believe her and then remove her breast implants, Candice relied on Yelp reviews and Facebook groups and met with numerous surgeons. Most would agree to take her implants out, but dismissed the possibility that her implants were causing her symptoms.
After finding a qualified surgeon who listened to her and understood the importance of removing the entire capsule, she moved forward with a total capsulectomy. Recovery was rough, with an infection caused by drains followed by a fever and a pretty miserable few days.
Contrary to common practice, studies show that the use of drains is associated with a higher rate of infection. Hear more from Dr. Whitfield about why drains are not used except for specific circumstances in this third episode covering Candice’s two-decades long ordeal with breast implant illness and her path to healing.

Episode 4: I Never Thought My Implants Were The Problem [Candice Barley’s Breast Implant Illness Story - Part 2]
After many years of research, detoxing on her own, and testing for anything and everything she could think of, Candice finally realized her chronic illnesses were breast implant-related and decided to explant.
Just the decision to have surgery made her immediately feel better as she set herself on the path to heal. A few weeks after explant surgery, she finally saw her endocrinologist who was surprised by her new lab results, and canceled the upcoming liver biopsy.
The persistent restless leg syndrome she had for 15 years was gone, but other strange (and smelly) things started happening as her body recovered. In this second episode of our mini-series about breast implant illness, hear why Candice has no regrets about this long, strange journey.

Customer Reviews
Super helpful breast implant illness info
I’ve always been flat chested and have considered a breast augmentation. Listening to this podcast has given me an incredibly detailed education on the risks of breast implants. Dr. Whitfield does a fabulous job laying out the facts about breast implant illness without using bias or scare tactics. Brilliant surgeon all around!
Breast Implant Illness Genius
Excellent information!! Thank you for sharing your expertise I’m telling all my friends with brain fog and breast implants.
Very helpful breast implant illness resource
Dr. Rob is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable plastic surgeons out there and knows more about BII and breast surgery than any doctor I’ve heard on this controversial topic. I have learned more about the science of BII from this podcast than any other source and wish I had found it much sooner.
