The term “en bloc” floats around online in breast implant associated illness circles, but this actually refers to cancer surgery where healthy tissue around a tumor is removed.To update the terminology and clear up any confusion about capsulectomy, Dr. Luke Swistun explains the definitions and differences between the specific explant procedures. For his usual breast implant removal procedure, “total intact" is the most accurate term, which involves carefully removing the entire capsule without disturbing healthy tissue.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Luke SwistunLearn more about breast implant removalLearn more about why Dr. Swistun always sends his explant patients specimen videos after surgeryListen to our previous episode with Dr. Swistun, Life After Breast Implant Removal: What to ExpectLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic, the 20x winner of the Best of San Diego and global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, where dreams become real.

I can't emphasize enough the fact that breast implant illness remains to be a topic that's not often talked about by many, especially in the medical community, despite its several effects. Usually, women undergo explant surgery in an effort to heal their breast implants. Today, we'll be talking about the link between breast implants and cancer and I hope you learn more about breast implant illness as we continue to delve into the symptoms, latest surgical techniques for exploitation, and the recovery process for breast implant illness in my podcast series. Different cancers associated with breast implants associated with anaplastic lymphoma Following the premise that there aren't a lot of research studies about breast implant illness, what many people don't know is that there are different cancers associated with breast implants. One of the kinds of cancer associated with breast implants is anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) which is a rare type of blood cancer. Textured implants have a very rough surface that was meant to help hold the implant in place, but it is supremely irritating to the tissues. This causes a T cell response which can ultimately lead to this lymphoma. There are studies regarding this condition as early as 2008. In fact, there's a study in the Netherlands that was conducted wherein patients had textured implants and they observed that there was a development of lymphoma. This was further supported by more diagnoses in the United States where cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma were recorded yearly. There's a new entity called breast implant associated squamous cell carcinoma (BIA-SCC) which has been found as a very rare tumor that may appear in the capsule around the breast implants. There is limited data on this but medical organizations and institutions are pushing for increased clinical awareness and more evidence-based studies regarding this. From our previous episodes, we've talked about the correlation of inflammation and breast implant illness. Inflammation fundamentally and directly causes or triggers the development of these other cancers associated with breast implants. Are you on a journey to healing and wellness but unsure of where to turn? Look no further than Dr. Rob's Solutions. Textured implants are becoming a problem which is why many markets have stopped the production of textured devices. In Europe, the US and even other countries, they have already limited the usage of textured devices. The traditional way of using smooth round implants in performing breast augmentation remains to be the best recommendation. If you're overwhelmed or unsure in your journey to healing and wellness, look no further – Dr. Rob's Solutions is here. We fully understand the unique challenges that come with breast implant illness. We offer a wide range of products and services from the highest grade supplements to comprehensive lab testing to aid you in your journey to recovery. Our supplements are specially formulated to support detoxification while our medical grade skincare products are designed to nourish and protect the skin. We also offer comprehensive lab testing to help identify any underlying health issues that may be contributing to your symptoms. And for those who are ready and planning to undergo an explant surgery, we have the Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program (HARP) if you're interested. This will help you further understand how your unique body can accelerate and optimize healing. Don't let the uncertainty and confusion of breast implant illness hold you back any longer. Trust the experts at Dr. Rob's Solutions to provide you with the resources and support you need to take control of your health and wellness. How do we safely evaluate and monitor these patients as part of our practice? First things first, we look for any pre-existing conditions like autoimmune disorders or anything that would affect the immune system and aggravate the current condition of the individual. If someone has a pre-existing cancer condition, we have to closely look at that. But breast cancers are different from lymphomas and as of date, we haven't seen nor recorded any case of such. From my experience with lymphoma, it's safe to conclude that it's really necessary to provide intense care for the patient. Many devices have a rupture rate that increases over time but thankfully, the devices produced now have more longevity. We have to safely evaluate and monitor these patients. And as part of my oncology practice and cosmetic practice, I always encourage patients to do follow-up care involving regular medical checkups whether a few weeks or months after as a routine. If we needed ultrasound or whatever test was necessary, we'd use that to better characterize both the health of the patient and device. From a structural standpoint, we want to know that it's intact. And so, everything becomes challenging not just for the providers but also for the clients who want to have these procedures done for whatever purpose. Like what I always say, there has to be a clear discussion and review of relevant information such as their health history, their family's health history, and other potential correlations between the development of these cancers or breast cancer for that matter. Personally, I make use of functional genetics in crafting individualized plans for our patients and I suggest that we should leverage genetics whenever possible. And I hope that in the future, that is the way we'll be able to address and evaluate potential risks for these cancers developing in patients and put everybody in the best possible position for success.

La puntata si apre con Giorgio che ci racconta di un recente articolo sul fallout di Hiroshima. Durante l'esplosione si sono formati dei vetri con caratteristiche simili alle condriti, dei meteoriti che si sono formati agli albori del nostro Sistema Solare. Ciò non significa che l'esplosione nucleare creò le stesse condizioni presenti durante la formazione del Sistema Solare, ma che alcuni meccanismi sono avvenuti in entrambe le occasioni. Lo studio di questi vetri permetterà una miglior comprensione delle origini di questa parte di galassia.L'intervento esterno di questa settimana è a cura di Leonardo, che intervista Mario Polino.

Millions of women across the globe have undergone breast augmentation using a medical device called a breast implant. This is done for reasons such as cosmesis, sometimes called enhancement of the breast, but also for trauma to the chest wall or for oncological reasons meaning breast cancer. Any surgery is not without risks. Using a medical device like a breast implant is not different. This is the focus of our discussion on this episode of the DiepCJourney podcast. My guest is a leading expert in the field. We are going to discuss the medical definition, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment BIA/ALCL. This stands for breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma. It is an uncommon form of ALCL. I am speaking to Dr. Mark Clemens. After receiving his Medical Doctorate from Pennsylvania State College of Medicine, Dr. Clemens completed his Plastic Surgery residency at Georgetown University. In 2010, he came to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas where he completed a fellowship in Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Clemens is an active researcher whose interests include BIA-ALCL, long term implant outcomes, robotic-assisted, microvascular, and reconstructive surgery of the breast. He is the author of the book, Phoenix Rising: Empower & Transform Through Breast Reconstruction. I am honored to list this book on the DiepCJourney Resources tab under Books.

One of the frequent significant concerns that I get concerning Breast Implant Illness (BII) is its potential association with the type of breast implants used. This is in line with health issues regarding some implants like textured implants, which have garnered more attention due to their close connection to conditions like anaplastic large cell lymphoma. As we aim to uncover more about the complexities surrounding breast implant illness, this is another episode that will surely provide insights into the potential influence of various implant characteristics on the development of breast implant illness. Breast implant illness and its association with different types of implants I often get asked about how breast implant illness develops and whether certain types of breast implants are more likely to cause it. To address this comprehensively, it's crucial to understand everything at play, especially concerning breast augmentation and reconstruction. I consider breast implant illness to be a form of chronic inflammation that can affect various systems in the body. When considering its development, it's essential to take into account various factors, ranging from implant materials and textures to individual patient factors. While extreme symptoms can occur with textured implants, it's not a guarantee in every case. Textured implants have garnered attention due to their close association with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and had a worldwide recall. Specifically, the texture and surface of Allergan implants were quite aggressive and were initially designed to prevent implant rotation, especially in cancer reconstruction patients. Textured surfaces were crucial in both stabilizing the implants and sculpting a comprehensive breast shape or form for patients. Nevertheless, their effectiveness in implant retention could also lead to the stimulation of nearby tissues, which might be a contributing factor to the emergence of symptoms linked to breast implant illness. Taking a comprehensive approach to evaluate symptoms and identify root causes In the context of oncology-related breast reconstruction, when natural breast borders have been weakened or removed, reconstructive surgeons have employed various techniques to keep implants in place. One of the techniques that has been historically employed to address this issue is the use of textured tissue expanders. These expanders were introduced as a means to create a stable pocket for implants, preventing their rotation and facilitating the sculpting of a comprehensive breast form, especially in cancer reconstruction cases. The textured surface was instrumental in achieving these objectives by enhancing the adherence of the expander to the surrounding tissues, thereby reducing the risk of breast implant migration. However, while these expanders undeniably serve as valuable tools in breast reconstruction, the rough surfaces of these expanders can stimulate tissues and potentially lead to more symptoms. It's important to note that severe symptoms can be associated with any type of tissue expander. At my clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to evaluate symptoms and identify root causes. We use functional genomics, toxicity testing, food sensitivity testing, gut microbiome evaluation, and hormone assessment to determine any potential reasons behind a patient's health issues. I believe in examining all aspects of a patient's health because the implant itself is just one factor in this complex situation, based on my experience.

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 *Links: * Follow Dr. Rob on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/drrobertwhitfield/) Learn more about skin tightening with Dr. Rob (https://www.drrobertwhitfield.com/minimally-invasive-procedures) *About Dr. Rob's Solution Podcast * Austin's natural plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Whitfield brings you the true stories of actual patients, navigates through their surgical and non-surgical treatment options, then reveals their chosen path forward and the results they achieved.

When Al Pritchard learned that he had anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), he told himself that cancer was not going to take anything from him. Taking control meant not only sharing his diagnosis with family and friends, but also with his work community. The support he received showed him that he was not alone and this is something he would say to anyone that is newly diagnosed. "You are not alone. Reach out to organizations and ask for support even when you don't know what to ask for."

Omega-3 and cancer recovery: How supplementation helps reduce hospital stays after operations Capital Medical University (China) Omega-3 supplementation boosts immunity and helps reduce inflammation among gastrointestinal cancer patients after surgery, new meta-analysis reports. Recent studies have indicated that nutritional intervention can reduce these problems, with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) particularly promising because of their inflammation benefits. Results showed that patients on an n-3 PUFAs regime had lower levels of inflammation markers. The academics, from China's Capital Medical University, stated: “The results of our study showed that n-3 PUFAs significantly decreased the level of inflammation and increased immune function. “Thus modulation of immune responses and reduction of inflammatory responses together lessens postoperative hospital stay for GI cancer patients.”     Vitamin D levels higher in exercisers   Johns Hopkins University The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism published the finding of researchers at Johns Hopkins University of a correlation between increased physical activity and higher levels of vitamin D. Higher levels of vitamin D and exercise was also associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. The study included 10,342 men and women who were free of coronary heart disease and heart failure upon enrollment in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study between 1987 to 1989. Physical activity levels were assessed during follow-up visits that took place over a 19.3-year period. Stored serum samples obtained at the second visit were analyzed for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. Following adjustment for lifestyle and other factors, those who met the recommended levels had a 31% lower risk of being deficient in vitamin D than those with poor activity levels. Subjects in the recommended activity group with levels of vitamin D of 30 ng/mL or more had a 24% lower risk of cardiovascular disease.   Gingko biloba helps protect against the toxic cognitive effects of aluminium chloride Atomic Energy Authority (Egypt) Ginkgo biloba extract helped protect the brain from the toxic effects of aluminium chloride, exposure to which has been linked to diseases such as Alzheimer's. Researchers found its antioxidant properties were key in protecting the brain neurons of rats from oxidative stress caused by aluminium chloride (AlClʒ) intake. “The toxic effect of AlClʒ caused significant histologic changes in brain and testis tissues which is in agreement with other data that found accumulation of Al metal in neurons which cause ultra-structural changes,” wrote researchers from the Atomic Energy Authority in Egypt wrote in Nutrition Journal. “Administration of Ginkgo biloba extract (GbE) with aluminium chloride improved some biochemical and histologic changes observed in the brain and testis of male rats.” Overexposure to aluminium, a potent neurotoxin, could be a possible factor in several neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, say researchers. GbE on the other hand, has antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties. It has been used to help treating cerebral disorders that result from ageing and hypoxia. Previous studies also highlighted its ability to regulate neurotransmitters and exert neuprotective effects.   New data shows avocado consumers have improved nutrient intakes USDA and Haas Avocado Board A new analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data, compared avocado consumers to non-consumers and found that consuming avocados may be associated with an overall better diet, higher intake of essential nutrients, lower body weight, lower Body Mass Index (BMI) and smaller waist circumference. Insulin and homocysteine levels were lower in the avocado group, as well as a significantly reduced incidence of metabolic syndrome. Homocysteine, when elevated, has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.i Metabolic syndrome is the name for a group of risk factors that raises the risk for heart disease and other health problems, such as diabetes and stroke.ii The analysis, "Avocado consumption by adults is associated with better nutrient Intake, diet quality, and some measures of adipositywas published in the journal Internal Medicine Review. SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS: * Compared to non-consumers, avocado consumers have:   Higher intakes of dietary fiber, total fat, good fats (monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids), vitamins E and C, folate, magnesium, copper and potassium.   Lower intakes of total carbohydrates, added sugars and sodium. * Improved physiologic measures include:   On average, avocado consumers weighed 7.5 lbs less, had a mean BMI of 1 unit less and 1.2 in. smaller waist circumference compared to non-consumers.   Avocado consumers were 33% less likely to be overweight or obese and 32% less likely to have an elevated waist circumference compared to non-consumers.   Incidence of metabolic syndrome was significantly reduced for avocado consumers.       Better quality relationships associated with reduced dementia risk University of East Anglia (UK) Positive social support from adult children is associated with reduced risk of developing dementia, according to a new research published today. Conversely, negative social support is linked with increased risk, according to the 10-year follow-up study carried out by a team of researchers from the University of East Anglia (UEA), University College London (UCL), London Metropolitan University and the University of Nottingham. The researchers analysed a decade of data that followed 10,055 core participants from ELSA who were dementia-free at the start of the study. Participants were interviewed every two years and incidence of dementia was identified from self-reports by participants or information given by nominated informants. Positive support was characterised by having a reliable, approachable and understanding relationship with spouses or partners, children and other immediate family. But negative support scores showed stronger effects - an increase of one point in the negative support score led to up to 31 per cent rise in the risk. Negative support was characterised by experiences of critical, unreliable and annoying behaviours from spouses or partners, children and other immediate family.   After spouse passes, death risk from ‘broken heart' rises Rice University In the three-month period following a spouse's death, widows and widowers are more likely to exhibit risk factors linked to cardiovascular illness and death, according to a new study This could make a bereaved spouse more likely to “die of a broken heart,” the researchers say. The study, which appears in Psychoneuroendocrinology, found that individuals who have lost a spouse within the last three months have higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (immune markers that indicate inflammation in the bloodstream) and lower heart rate variability (HRV) compared with non-bereaved individuals who share the sex, age, body mass index, and educational level. Both are factors that increase an individual's risk for cardiac events, including death. The study is the first to demonstrate that bereavement is associated with elevated levels of ex vivo cytokines and lower HRV. “In the first six months after the loss of a spouse, widows/widowers are at a 41 percent increased risk of mortality,” says lead author Chris Fagundes, an assistant professor of psychology in Rice University's School of Social Sciences. “Importantly, 53 percent of this increased risk is due to cardiovascular disease. This study is an important step toward understanding why this is the case by identifying how bereavement gets under the skin to promote morbidity and mortality.” Finally, the bereaved spouses reported 20 percent higher levels of depressive symptoms than the control group. Participants ranged in age from 51 to 80 (average 67.87) and included 22 percent men and 78 percent women. The sex and age of the control group was comparable, and the results were the same when accounting for slight differences in weight and health behaviors.

Over the years, implants have been so pivotal to breast enhancement surgery and to breast reconstruction after cancer. Yet it's essential to be familiar with potential associated problems, like rare but serious ALCL lymphoma, as well as Breast Implant Illness. This does not mean implants shouldn't be used; however awareness is key. Previous Episode 5 introduced the basics of these concepts, but for this current Episode 45, we interview expert Dr. Patricia McGuire who fills you in about the screening and treatment of such issues. And, there are some surprising facts she brings to light, especially in the second half of our discussion. Listen, and learn the latest…

In medical circles, we say, “When you hear hoofbeats, look for horses, not zebras,” as a reminder that when people present with a given set of symptoms, the diagnosis is generally something common. But sometimes it IS a zebra, and patients sometimes DO have a rare condition like the one we're exploring in this episode—breast implant associated lymphoma or BIA-ALCL. On this episode of Inside the Lab, our hosts Dr. Dan Milner and Ms. Kelly Swails are joined by Dr. Kirill Lyapichev, MD, Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellow at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, and soon-to-be Hematopathology Director at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, and Dr. Deniz Peker, MD, Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, to discuss breast implant associated ALCL. Dr. Lyapichev shares the history of breast implants in general and BIA-ALCL specifically, walking us through two case studies of the entity with very different outcomes. Dr. Peker describes her approach to diagnosing breast implant associated ALCL, and our panelists explain the clinical signs associated with the rare condition. Listen in for insight on the treatment options available to patients and learn what pathologists need to know about the epidemiology of BIA-ALCL.  Topics Covered  · Two contrasting case studies of patients with breast implant associated ALCL· What we know about the epidemiology of BIA-ALCL and its relationship with chronic inflammation· Why BIA-ALCL is considered a very rare entity· Diagnosing BIA-ALCL and hesitations around making a diagnosis based on cytology alone· The role molecular clonality test plays in diagnosing BIA-ALCL and how common clonality is in published cases of the entity· How to recognize the clinical signs of breast implant associated ALCL· Insight on the history of breast implants in general and BIA-ALCL specifically· The excellent prognosis for patients diagnosed with BIA-ALCL in its early stages (and why reconstructive surgery patients with the condition are caught earlier than cosmetic cases)  · What treatment options are available for patients with breast implant associated ALCL· The latest developments in BIA-ALCL and why pathologists need to be familiar with it Connect with ASCP ASCPASCP on FacebookASCP on InstagramASCP on Twitter Connect with Dr. Lyapichev Dr. Lyapichev on TwitterDr. Lyapichev on LinkedIn Connect with Dr. PekerDr. Peker on TwitterDr. Peker at Emory Winship Cancer Institute Connect with Dr. Milner & Ms. SwailsDr. Milner on TwitterMs. Swails on Twitter Resources Thomas Cronin & Frank GerowInside the Lab in the ASCP Store

Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgery in the country. But it’s not without its risks. Breast Implant Illness (BII) and Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) are two scary factors that anyone considering breast implants needs to know about. In this week’s podcast, I give you the straight scoop on these breast implant controversies and more. Who is at risk of developing problems with their breast implants, and what can you do to avoid them? Please join me as I discuss Breast Implant Controversies: BII, ALCL, and more.

This episode covers the basics and management of BIA-ALCL

We chat to Dr Joseph Rizk, Plastic Surgeon, about the breast explant procedure which is becoming much more popular in recent years. Removing implants is a common option for women concerned about ALCL, wanting to replace their implants with fat transfer, having issues with their implants or the implants just no longer fitting in with their lifestyle. Dr Rizk recently performed an explant surgery on Brooke who shared her journey through her before and after images with us.

Sometimes, these are patients that they’re such great successes that you take a lot of pride in…but even more important are those patients that you failed.” (14:42)“That’s why the title of the book is Playing God, because so many doctors think they’re playing God. And, in the end, what I’ve come to realize is that it’s not that as a doctor you’re playing God, it’s that you need God to help you to help your patients.” (20:03)“One thing I think that I have learned over the last many years, as I’ve gotten to know doctors like yourself and a lot of our holistic health colleagues, I’ve learned how much I don’t know. And that’s a lot.” (22:10)“There are actually studies that show that if you combine Vitamin C and Vitamin E, their antioxidant power, basically, is synergistically increased. For some reason, you put them separately, they do what they do separately. You put them together, and it’s much better than them separate.” (33:00)“If you don’t care that you’re having a medical procedure done that’s unnecessary, well think about that maybe you may be screwing yourself in the future because if you do it too much when you’re young, it might not work when you’re older.” (41:26)“The important thing to take away from this is that there are no smooth surface implants that we know of that have been related to this ALCL on their own.” (49:07)“Literally five years ago if you were to ask the majority of plastic surgeons if breast implant illness is real or is it a psychiatric condition, probably ninety-eight percent of them or more would say it’s a psychiatric condition, it’s the women thinking this and they’re wrong.” (50:38)LINKS MENTIONEDBetter!

In this episode, Melissa talks to Dr. Michael Gimbel, her plastic surgeon in Pittsburgh, PA. Dr. Gimbel addresses the different options available for reconstruction for women diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as the possible advantages and disadvantages. He addresses the current concern related to breast implants. Dr. Gimbel shares his preferred sequence of treatment when other therapies are needed for a patient. He discusses the different options available for nipple reconstruction when a woman is not a candidate for a nipple-sparing mastectomy. He shares how he helps to support women how are struggling emotionally in the process of their cancer diagnosis and decisions to be made. Dr. Gimbel provides tips for seeking out a qualified plastic surgeon. SHOW NOTES: Dr. Gimbel is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, Department of Plastic Surgery. He currently works at Magee Women's Hospital. He has a focus of general plastic surgery with a specific focus on breast surgery. Many of the women that show up at Dr. Gimbel's office arrive by necessity. A majority of his patients are active patients or survivors. Many patients are coming to learn about reconstruction options that can be completed at the time of surgery or at a later date. Dr. Gimbel shares the different options for reconstruction to include implants, autologous surgery, and a hybrid of the two. At the consultation appointment, Dr. Gimbel assesses what a patient is a candidate for and what the best option may be. Some patients are a candidate for all three options while others may not be. One of the most important things in determining if someone is a good candidate and the best option for treatment is what the woman wants. Some women have already done research and have an idea of what they want and some are learning about the different options for the first time. If a patient is a candidate for all three options, Dr. Gimbel relies on what the woman wants as each person has different views on what is important. The method of implant placement has branched into many different methods. The standard approach is a staged approach where a tissue expander is placed under the pectoral muscle and inflated over the course of several months. Then the expander is removed and replaced with an implant. The other methods for implants is acellular dermal matrix, where material is used on the inside to lessen the tightness of skin and to improve the shape. The third method is pre-pectoral, where material is placed over top of the pectoral muscle to create space for an implant. The advantage is that all implants come in different shapes and sizes, and the patient can select the option she would like. The surgery to place the implant and recovery time is fairly quick. The disadvantages is that implants are man-made material and will not last forever. There is a risk of developing a leak. There is a 5-10% chance of developing some kind of issue within 10 years. The infection rate is approximately 10-15%. Some patients do not like the idea of having a foreign body inside their body. Other patients are worried about the previous scare in the 1990s with silicone-based implants. The previous scare with implants in the 1990s was focused on silicone implants. It was suspected that silicone implants were causing many health-related issues such as lupus, autoimmune disease, or even cancer. Silicone implants were pulled from use for approximately 15 years and studied. There was no correlation found between the implants and health-related concerns. The FDA approved them for use again. The current concern is related to textured silicone implants and the correlation to ALCL, a type of lymphoma that can develop around specific areas of textured implants. It is rare and evident in approximately 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 30,000. The FDA has not yet pulled this type of implant but Dr. Gimbel and many other plastic surgeons have discontinued the use of textured silicone implants. Autologous is the use of one's own tissue to recreate a breast or breasts. The most common place to obtained the donated tissue is the abdomen. The tissue has to be removed in a certain way with appropriate anatomy and with connect blood vessels. The tissue is taken as a block of tissue to recreate the breast and reconnect the blood vessels to bring the tissue back to life. The use of the abdominal tissue has been most successful with this method. Sometimes the tissue can be transferred from the abdomen without disconnecting the blood vessels. There can be significant trauma to the abdomen muscles during this surgery. A more typical method employs the use of microsurgery that causes little disturbance to the abdominal muscles. Sometimes people are not a good candidate to use their abdominal muscles for a number of reasons. In these cases, tissue can be borrowed from the inner thigh, outer thigh, and gluteal muscles; however, these are secondary options to the abdomen. With this type of surgery, the operation, hospital stay, and recovery time are longer. There is a scar on the abdomen and there is a 5% chance of developing a bulge in the abdomen. The advantage of this method is that it does not have the same disadvantages as implants. An infection can still occur but it typically does not harm the tissue. Your own tissue is more durable and seems to get better over time. The hybrid option utilizes both an implant and the borrowing of tissue from another part of the body. For this option, the tissue typically comes from the latissimus muscle. Many doctors have a different sequence of treatment. This requires tight communication with the breast oncology surgeon to find out what other treatments may be necessary. It is very common to have immediate reconstruction at the time of surgery; however, there are times when delayed reconstruction is more appropriate. For those who will require radiation as part of their treatment, delayed reconstruction may be a better option as radiation can impact the skin, displace the implant, and increases the rates of short- and long-term complications. Different surgeons do different things but Dr. Gimbel tries to avoid putting in implants for those that have already undergone radiation or when it is known that a patient will undergo radiation. There are times when radiation is not expected at the time of surgery but after surgery, it is determined that radiation is needed. In this case, the expanders would be inflated as though an implant will be put it, the patient undergoes radiation, and then after several months post-radiation, the patient returns to discuss the next steps. Dr. Gimbel indicated that the appearance of the skin helps determine the appropriate method of reconstruction. If a patient's skins seems to have tolerated the radiation, the patient can move forward with the implant reconstruction. However, there has to be a clear understanding that there are still long-term risks such as capsulary contracture that can cause asymmetry, tightness, and discomfort. There can also be short-term risks to include the incision line not healing well or even opening up, as well as the risk for infection. If a patient presents shiny skin, tightness, and the implant is pushed in an upward position, these are signs that implant-based reconstruction should be reconsidered. The recommendation would be to use the abdomen muscles to recreate the breast or perform a hybrid procedure of using both implant and one's own tissue. Nipple reconstruction is another part of the reconstructive process. Some women are candidates for nipple-sparing mastectomy, where the nipple is maintained and intact. However, it is typically numb. Many women, on the other hand, are not candidates for nipple-sparing mastectomy. There are several different options to recreate a nipple. One method is using one's own tissue to create a button and then tattooing of the areola. Regular tattooing is a flat tattoo of a nipple and areola. Three-dimension tattooing is a more sophisticated method that looks like a picture of a nipple to make it appear more realistic. Over the last 10 years, the availability of 3-D tattooing has increased. When a woman comes into the office out of necessity due to a recent diagnosis, there is a tendency for her to be more emotional. Trying to understand the diagnosis, treatment, options, and prognosis can be overwhelming. Typically women are less emotional when undergoing a delayed reconstruction method. Dr. Gimbel shares that it is important to speak to women as though she is a family member. It is important to remind the woman that the first thing is to take care of the cancer. Dr. Gimbel attempt to gain an understanding of the state the woman is in and tailor the approach based on that. Due to the vagueness of the word plastic surgeon, Dr. Gimbel recommends that a patient looks at the credentials of the surgeon. Sometimes patients think they are getting someone fully trained but that is not necessarily true. He suggests checking out the surgeon and being certain that the surgeon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with the American Board of Plastic Surgeons, which is the official, validated training system for plastic surgeons. He recommends asking the surgeon what kind of practice he/she has, what kind of patients does he/she take care of in high quantity, does the surgeon perform a lot of breast reconstruction, and how often does the surgeon perform the different methods of reconstruction.

The recent breast implant recall by Allergan has caused a media frenzy, and there has been a lot of confusion for patients wondering if they need to have their implants removed. The source of all the concern stems from a disease called Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) also known just as ALCL. An inflammatory disease, the link between ALCL and breast implants has been confirmed, but Dr Charles Cope, Plastic Surgeon, gives us the facts and figures and says there's no reason for women with the recalled implants or any other implants to panic. There have now been around 500 cases of ALCL confirmed worldwide with 100 of those in Australia but we should keep in mind that's out of around 20 million women with implants worldwide, making ALCL extremely rare. Australia has one of the best breast implant recording and monitoring systems in the world but any woman concerned should see their surgeon.

Between the latest online fads and the crazy media headlines, it’s easier than ever to get confused about your health. If you want to make better decisions about your health today so you can feel better and live longer, you’ve come to the right place.   On this episode we’re talking about the connection between breast implants and thyroid disease. Awareness of Breast Implant Illness (BII) is growing in the medical community, and today we’re going to answer some of the most pressing questions surrounding this topic. Who is at a greater risk for developing an illness after implants? Is implant removal the only solution for those with Hashimoto’s disease? If you already have implants what are your options? There are many questions that have yet to be answered on this topic, but that didn’t stop me from diving into the literature to find out all I could about this controversial topic to share with you on today’s podcast.   I’m joined by America’s holistic plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, who performs up to 150 breast augmentation surgeries each year. We discuss the quality of research that is currently being conducted to help identify the correlation between breast augmentation and certain autoimmune diseases and what options are available to women who have already had implants. You’ll want to hear the advice that Dr. Youn gives to all women who are considering getting implants and why the one test that tells whether you will have implant complications may not be worth it’s $4,000 price tag.   Key Takeaways: [:33] Today’s topic is the connection between breast implants and thyroid disease. [1:55] Introducing Dr. Youn, who shares how his education and training taught him to view breast and thyroid disease issues. [3:51] An overview of the main confusion points around silicone breast implants, including the 1992 implant ban, FDA studies and subsequent ban lift in 2006, and the recent increase in stories from women suffering from illness and disease after undergoing silicone breast augmentation. [6:15] What questions are being researched in breast implant studies and who is funding these studies? Dr. Youn argues that the studies are not getting good answers because they’re not asking the right questions. [8:30] Studies that do support a connection between breast implants and illness, and a look at what Dr. Youn has seen in his own practice. [12:32] Dr. Youn’s recommendations to women who are prone to autoimmune diseases and are considering breast augmentation. [14:20] Have you already had breast implants? A look at the health risks versus benefits for removal of implants. [19:29] Understanding the correlation between ALCL cancer and textured or smooth silicone breast implants. [22:44] A look at the specific data surrounding Hashimoto's disease in relation to implants. [26:56] Is the silicon antibody test worth it’s $4,000 price tag? [29:10] The emotional aspect of breast implants and how it plays into making an educated, well-informed decision when considering implants. [33:26] The importance of educating yourself and making sure your decisions are backed by science, not emotion, in helping women make the right decision for their health.

Breast implant illness is an issue that many doctors and surgeons simply don’t believe in. However, there are many ways in which breast implants can create dysfunction and disease in the body, leading to a wide range of devastating symptoms. Biofilms, compromised implant materials, and immune reactions are just some of the reasons women with breast implants can get sick. There are even studies showing an increased risk for various types of cancer in women with breast implants, as well as new FDA warnings coming to the surface.On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host, Dhru, talks to his good friend Sarah Anne Stewart, her doctor Suzanne Kim, and her plastic surgeon Dr. Lisa Cassileth.

There are so many Breast Implant materials to choose from. What is the right implant for you? New York Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Brian Cohen shares his expertise about choosing the right breast implants with host Michele Garber, The NipTuck Coach.  The trend in breast implants today is smaller and natural.  According Dr. Cohen larger implants are prone to more complications.  Breast Implants are safe devices. Patients should be well informed before choosing implants and pick the right Board Certified Plastic Surgeon whose expertise is in breast augmentation.  What do most patients want? Silicone. Silicone breast implants have come a long way and are safe. They are softer and look more natural than Saline.  Today Silicone Implants come in different shapes such as round, smooth or textured, and anatomic. Are you looking for more upper pole fullness, or more a tear drop shape?  Not all surgeons are comfortable with anatomic  implants, there is a steeper learning curve for the surgeon and if they rotate they will look strange.   Anatomic breast implants should be "as snug as a buy in the rug," says Dr. Cohen. Gummy Bear Implants are firmer but soft and more expensive than other implants. Gummy Bear implants are excellent for breast reconstructive patients. Sometimes the choice of implants really comes down to the dugeon's   Saline implants are made up of salt water and if they rupture you will know right away. However, they feel firmer, can ripple and don't look as natural as Silicone. Th newest Saline Implant is called The Ideal Implant. Is it really ideal??  Do you know that Botox is being used in the breasts as well as fillers and fat transfer? We'll also touch on the subject of risks, capsular contracture and the risks of ALCL.
