Breast implants are something that a lot of women consider,
either for cosmetic reasons or as reconstruction after cancer.
But what are the side effects of implants, and are the patients
who get them truly informed? Today on the podcast we have Patient
Advocate Robyn Towt. She is the co-founder of The Global Patient
Advocacy Coalition and continues to fight for Women’s Rights on

to always listen to your body.
