DOYLESTOWN, PA — Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Brian Buinewicz will speak at the upcoming Breast Implant Illness Summit, set to begin on August 18, 2024. Dr. Buinewicz, a board-certified surgeon at Buinewicz Plastic Surgery, is well-known in the Philadelphia area for his expertise in breast implant removal and related procedures.
Dr. Buinewicz’s reputation for “explant” surgeries is supported by his research contributions, including a study on implant removal outcomes published in PRS Global Open in 2021 and a co-authored paper in Advances in Cosmetic Surgery in 2023. His work focuses on breast augmentation revisions and implant removals, particularly for patients dealing with complications from scar tissue, known as capsule contracture, or rare conditions like neoplasms associated with textured implants.
At the summit, Dr. Buinewicz will highlight the “Importance of Complete Capsulectomy.” This procedure involves removing all scar tissue around breast implants, which is crucial for patients with Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Current medical guidelines recommend bilateral capsulectomy to address this condition effectively.
Dr. Buinewicz’s presentation is scheduled for the third day of the summit, which runs from August 18 to 22, 2024. His insights are expected to provide valuable information for both patients and fellow medical professionals.
