Welcome to The Dr. Robert Whitfield Show. Your trusted source for expert information on cosmetic augmentation devices and what happens when patients choose to have them taken out.
Dr. Robert Whitfield is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed thousands of procedures to extract these medical devices.
