Have you noticed it, too? Everywhere you look, from celebrities to influencers to your own friends, women are removing their implants and talking about symptoms no one warned them about.
Today's guest, Dr. Jonathan Kanevsky, joins us to discuss why so many women are choosing to remove their implants this year and what’s driving the shift toward more natural, health-focused reconstruction.
He shares insight on how TikTok and Instagram filters are reshaping self-image and fueling a new wave of cosmetic procedures for younger and younger patients, and provides a clear look at how the medical world missed (or ignored) the early warning signs of Breast Implant Illness.
Dr. Kanevsky also talks about what AI, robotics, and augmented reality are actually doing in operating rooms today, and what remains pure science fiction.
Dr. Jonathan Kanevsky, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Los Angeles, is internationally recognized for natural breast reconstruction using advanced autologous fat grafting, en-bloc/total-capsule explant surgery, and holistic treatment of Breast Implant Illness (BII).
Patients seek him globally for his microsurgical precision, implant-free results, and his unique philosophy: Surgery as Ceremony.
This approach treats each procedure as a profound rite of passage, integrating metabolic optimization, lymphatic health, nervous-system regulation, detoxification, and psychological reclamation.
He is a trusted voice guiding women through implant-related illness to authentic, vibrant embodiment.
Dr. Kanevsky is also a data scientist, serial founder, and high-level advisor in medical AI and surgical robotics.
He co-founds and scales venture-backed companies developing AI-driven preoperative planning platforms, computer-vision systems for the operating room, and augmented-reality patient education tools.
Dr. Kanevsky consults for leading surgical robotics firms, serves as an expert advisor to Neuralink on neural-interface applications in reconstructive surgery (including potential sensation restoration after mastectomy), and has collaborated with Google's moonshot teams (Verily and DeepMind) on the ethics and clinical integration of AI in medicine.
