Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Elliot Hirsch discuss the following:

  • The FDA has discovered a rare form of cancer that is linked to textured silicone breast implants called (breast implant-associated / ALCL) BIA-ALCL (breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma). Can you explain to our listeners more about this discovery?
  • A rare cancer of the immune system that has had devastating effects on women, many of whom had reconstructive surgery after breast cancer. What are their options?
  • Can you explain to our listeners what the traditional (standard) method for a reconstruction surgery? What are the negative side effects of this method?
  • Dr. Hirsch, you are one of the only surgeons in LA that is currently offering a new cutting edge method to patients, can you explain what it is and walk us through the steps?
  • What are the benefits of this new method? Why is this method better for the patients?
  • You treat patients from all over the country at your practice in Los Angeles, can you tell us about the other services that you offer?
