More about Dr. Robert Whitfield
About
Dr. Robert Whitfield is a Board-certified plastic surgeon located in Austin, Texas. He has a large portfolio of services, including brow lifts, Brazilian butt lifts, fat transfer, liposuction, and eyelid lifts. But he focuses mostly on breast implant removal, also known as breast explant surgery. In fact, when he moved to Austin, he was quickly recognized as a region-wide authority on the subject. He understands the illnesses implants can cause, the nuance behind removing them, and the intricacy of restoring the breasts after implants have been removed. It's a complex subject, one that requires research, dexterity, and skill. But he has what it takes.
Dr. Whitfield takes a holistic approach to cosmetic surgery, which for many of his patients is a welcome relief. Whether they're receiving a breast ex-plant or a mommy makeover, he tailors his procedures to the individual, focusing on their safety and the myriad health concerns that can arise from receiving a cosmetic procedure. He believes in natural, safe results, which is why he takes the time to do things right. He's also the founder of the Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program (HARP), an after-care program that focuses on healing and helping patients move past their surgeries--a subject that he believes has been neglected for far too long.
