From selling breast implants to becoming a global advocate for women suffering symptoms of Breast Implant Illness (BII), this key member of Host Dr. Kevin Brenner’s cosmetic surgery team is sharing her fascinating career trajectory on this episode of Beyond the O.R. Amanda Porta, who coordinates patient care with a human-centric and holistic approach, first came to Dr. B.’s practice as herself a sufferer in search of a cure. The daughter of a doctor, traditional western medicine was a given for Amanda – until BII inspired a quest that ultimately led her to educate herself about the world of holistic wellness. While breast implants work for many people, there is growing awareness about the significant population of women for whom the long-term effects can be crippling. Following her enormously successful explant surgery (an outcome shared by Co-Host Elizabeth Morales), Amanda joined Dr. B.’s practice, bringing a fresh slant to patient care and healing. The rights of women to be heard when they are suffering symptoms is central to this lively conversation, with everyone agreeing: If you don’t feel right, speak up. It’s your body! Dr. B. is at the forefront of integrative cosmetic surgery, partnering with Amanda to fulfill her commitment to breast health and women’s wellness in general. “I just want to do things better and believe we can improve in all of these areas,” says this go-getter fighting to inform women of their choices. You’ll come away from this episode with an understanding of BII’s impacts – and a desire to join this team in getting the word out!
