The Super Specialist Difference
You’ve decided, for whatever reason, that your implants must go and are feeling vulnerable and hesitant about the next steps. Seeing a super-specialist for your explantation procedure can ensure you receive the best, most comprehensive, and detailed care. This blog will discuss what a super-specialist does, why Dr. Strawn is considered a super-specialist in the field of explantation surgery, and what you can expect from treatment with Dr. Strawn.
What Is a Super Specialist?
Every branch of medicine has subspecialties. For the most part, the general population is aware of these sub-specializations and what they do. For example, plastic surgery is a subspecialty of general surgery, just as orthodontics is a subspecialty of dentistry. Specialization in a subcategory of medicine requires additional education, training, and experience to set specialists apart from generalists.But what about super-specialists? This is an even less common title, as it refers to specialists within the already narrow category of specialties. A super-specialist is often regarded as an expert in a specific area—someone who has dedicated a significant portion of their training, experience, and practice to one condition they feel deserves specialized care.
Dr. Strawn’s unique approach to explant surgery, which sets him apart as a super-specialist, offers unparalleled care, skill, and experience that generalists and even other breast specialists cannot match. His focus on comprehensive care, advanced techniques, and patient-centered approach makes him a standout choice for your explantation procedure.
What Does a Super Specialist Do?
How different is the care between a super-specialist and other practitioners? It means that your doctor is not doing other things outside of his super specialty and spends all of his time perfecting diagnosis and treatment of your desired situation. Their depth of knowledge is evident by the much greater number of treatments or procedures of a certain type—they are focused on that one specific condition or specialty.The benefit of visiting a super-specialist is that it takes some of the guesswork out of trusting a generalist—you will likely feel more confident in their opinion as their experience and training lend more credibility to their viewpoint. It’s always a good idea to seek multiple opinions. Still, other practitioners will refer their patients to these specialists or super-specialists when they think they need more advanced care.
What Makes Dr. Strawn a Super Specialist in Breast Implant Removal?
Dr. Strawn’s dedication to his patients is one of the reasons he is considered a super-specialist in explantation or breast implant removal. He began Scultura Plastic Surgery with a strong emphasis on breast reconstruction, aiming to use his surgical expertise to help women restore aesthetics and functionality to their breasts following breast cancer treatments. This commitment led to more reconstructive work, where he developed and perfected advanced techniques such as oncoplastic reconstruction—various mastopexy and fat grafting procedures for restoring the integrity and beauty of the reconstructed breast.Over the years, Dr. Strawn discovered that more and more patients were looking for help in removing their breast implants. Breast implant removal can be more complex than it sounds. Some surgeons simply make an incision, remove the implants, and be done with it. Dr. Strawn goes much further. He meticulously considers every detail, from prior scars to capsules, mesh, asymmetries, drooping, nipple-areola issues, and many other variables. His thorough approach ensures that every detail of your surgery is carefully considered, leaving you feeling secure and in excellent hands.
During his developmental journey, Dr. Strawn’s goal was not just to remove the implants but to eliminate the surrounding toxic environment and restore the natural breast to a more whole, rejuvenated state, helping his patients feel beautiful and confident once again. His empathy and understanding of his patients’ challenges make him a trusted choice for explant surgery. With this in mind, he developed his signature procedure, the total correction explant surgery.
Using his reconstructive and cosmetic training, eye for beauty, and strong sense of empathy for his patients’ challenges, Dr. Strawn developed the total correction explant surgery to meet the varied needs of his patients. This procedure is the most comprehensive surgery for breast implant removal and involves preventative, restorative, functional, and aesthetic improvements—all in one procedure. His thorough approach ensures that every aspect of your surgery is carefully considered, leaving you confident in the results. Dr. Strawn’s total correction explant surgery not only removes the implants but also addresses any damage or changes to the breast tissue, resulting in a more natural and rejuvenated appearance.
Here’s a brief overview of the procedure:
A total capsulectomy, in which Dr. Strawn removes the entire breast capsule (scar tissue that surrounds the breast implant), the implant itself, and any remaining meshes, sutures, or leaked silicone. Nearly all explants by Dr. Strawn are en bloc. This ensures that no part of the implant, capsule, scar tissue, infective agents, or silicone remains. This step is crucial for patients experiencing breast implant illness (BII) symptoms, a condition that Dr. Strawn and his team strongly believe is affecting numerous women with implants. The next step is breast pocket irrigation with a triple antibiotic formula, ensuring total cleansing and disinfecting of the tissues.
He then performs muscle repair on all patients with below muscle implants, as the muscle was detached at the original implant placement and has often been damaged, retracted, and weakened over time. This improves the integrity of the entire breast anatomy, resulting in a stronger foundation for the natural breast tissue, and prevents the terrible complications of dynamic breast deformities, or “jumping breasts.”
A breast lift is commonly performed, reshaping the breast, lifting the nipple-areola, and removing droopy excess skin and tissue, resulting in a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.
Lastly, patients can benefit from a “natural” augmentation with fat grafting. This takes the final result to the next level: using liposculpting to remove fat from undesirable areas like the inner thighs, back of the arms, abdomen, or “love handles,” Dr. Strawn will then purify and reinject the fat back into the breasts, creating a more full, shapely, beautiful result.
