Here, Plastic Surgery Practice sits down with Constance M. Chen, MD, FACS, a New York-based board-certified plastic surgeon and breast reconstruction specialist, to discuss the latest trends in breast implants and whether concerns surrounding breast implant illness are overblown or valid.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Plastic Surgery Practice Co-Chief Editor Keri Stephens sits down with breast implant explant therapist Amanda Savage Brown, PhD, LCSW, author of Busting Free: How to Liberate Yourself from the Quest for Better Breasts Before, During, and Long After Explant. A scientist turned psychotherapist, Savage Brown shares her personal explant journey—which occurred after one of her breast implants ruptured—and why the mental health aspect of it is so important. She also discusses how explanting post-mastectomy can be particularly emotional for breast cancer patients.
