Dr. Shaher Khan: Breast Implant Illness and Gaslighting: A Surgeon's Take on REAL Informed Consent
Manage episode 508751706 series 3479155
What if that unexplained fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain isn't "just stress" or aging, but caused by something physically inside your body? Dr. Shaher Khan, a plastic surgeon who exclusively performs breast implant removal, pulls back the curtain on what may be one of modern medicine's most overlooked health crises.
Reading directly from FDA black box warnings and manufacturer documentation, Dr. Khan reveals disturbing facts about breast implants that most women are never told: they contain heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury; they're designed to need replacement every 7-10 years; they require MRI screenings every two years; and silicone can migrate into lymph nodes, organs, and tissues where "it may not be possible to remove."
While mainstream medicine often dismisses breast implant illness (BII) symptoms or attributes them to stress, thousands of women report the same constellation of symptoms—fatigue, joint pain, autoimmune issues, cognitive problems—that mysteriously disappear after implant removal. Dr. Khan shares remarkable recovery stories and explains his meticulous "en bloc" surgical technique that ensures complete removal of implants and the surrounding capsule tissue where toxins accumulate.
This conversation goes beyond physical health to examine the emotional dimensions of implants: the external pressures that lead women to get them, the partner dynamics involved, and the profound psychological relief that comes with reclaiming natural health. Dr. Khan's compassionate approach acknowledges both the personal choices women make about their bodies and the medical community's failure to provide genuine informed consent.
Whether you have implants yourself, know someone who does, or simply care about understanding how foreign substances affect our bodies, this eye-opening discussion challenges conventional wisdom about cosmetic procedures and reminds us that sometimes the path to healing begins with removing what doesn't belong.
