Texas-Wide Access
A Central Location for the Whole State
Austin's central position makes it accessible from anywhere in Texas. San Antonio is about 90 minutes by car. Houston and Dallas patients typically fly in. The practice coordinates scheduling for out-of-town Texas patients.
Dr. Whitfield is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 2,000 explant procedures and the author of the largest PCR-tested capsule study in medical literature (PMID 39338504). His research identified bacterial contamination in 29 percent of 694 capsule specimens.
The Program
En Bloc, PCR Testing, and SHARP Recovery
The surgical program combines en bloc capsulectomy, PCR pathology testing of every capsule specimen, and the SHARP Method recovery protocol — integrated from first contact, not handed over as an afterthought.
Every capsule is evaluated for bacterial contamination and other findings that standard pathology misses.
