    Questions we will be addressing this week: Impact on Body Image: "How does breast implant removal impact a patient’s body image and self-esteem? What steps can individuals take to foster a positive self-image during this transition?" Risks and Complications: "What are the potential risks or complications associated with breast implant removal? How do you mitigate these risks during the procedure?"

What techniques do you use to minimize scarring, and how can patients improve their post-operative appearance?" Follow-Up Care: "What does follow-up care look like after breast implant removal? How often should patients schedule check-ups, and what signs should they watch for that may indicate a need for medical attention?" Personal Philosophy: "As an expert in breast implant removal, what is your personal philosophy regarding cosmetic procedures? How do you balance aesthetics with patient health and safety in your practice?" While it's possible that swollen lymph nodes could be related to breast implants or BII, there are many other potential causes, and seeing a general practitioner or ENT is the best next step to get a clear diagnosis. If it turns out that your implants may be contributing to these symptoms, you could then be referred to a plastic surgeon for a more thorough evaluation of your implants and potential explant options. https://thegreatvoice.com/Episode/wjr-spotlight-breast-implant-illness/32270
