Breast Implant Illness: Chronic Inflammation

Dr. Whitfield joins Lauryn and Michael Bosstick for an unfiltered deep-dive into the science of breast implant illness. Lauryn — the most influential patient Dr. Whitfield has operated on — shares her own explant journey, including a groundbreaking sauna discovery that revealed the highest heavy metal levels ever recorded in his practice, traced to chemical leaching from implants at over 200°F.
