    From A Surgeon's Perspective

    Dr. Khan remains deeply committed to the oath he took as a doctor: Do No Harm. Early in his career as a double board certified plastic surgeon, he was asked by women to remove their implants. He saw first hand the problems created by these devices, and saw a conflict with the Hippocratic Oath he took. In 2018 he made the decision to specialize in breast explant. Dr. Khan believes Breast Implant Illness is a very real disease that ultimately causes suffering in women. In his experienced opinion, he believes all implanted women will experience this illness. He is a champion for women, empowering them to seek the care they deserve, with a knowledgable and competent surgeon, who believes in their medical struggles.  He is passionate about helping his patients return to healthy living, as well as showing his colleagues the full silent story within breast implants.    Dr. Khan practices in Novi, MI and can be reached at executiveplasticsurgeon.com

    The Emotional Aspect of Breast Alterations

    Dr. Amanda Savage Brown brings an unusual mix to the world of breast implants and explant. A woman usually decides to explant because of a compromise to her physical well-being, and in the process of preparing and recovering from surgery,  little attention is placed on her emotional well-being.   Amanda bridges this gap in the most authentic way.  She is a survivor of both implant and explant surgeries, as well as a psychotherapist.  She has the tools to help women cope and heal the deep emotional scenarios that lie within these intimate alterations.      Most importantly, Amanda has a heart filled with compassion and empathy to walk with women as they touch on their deepest inner story of why they chose to get implants.  I know this to be true — I worked with Amanda! Amanda can be reached at https://amandasavagebrown.com/
