Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Fredric M. Barr

Sourced directly from Dr. Fredric M. Barr's social posts and replies.

What is the jet pulsation lavage technique used in Dr. Barr's explant surgery?
During explant surgery, after the breast implant and surrounding capsule are removed, Dr. Barr uses a jet pulsation lavage. This tool connects to an IV bag containing antibiotics to thoroughly wash out the surgical area, ensuring it is 'extra clean.' Following the lavage, a drain is inserted.

What is Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)?
BIA-ALCL is a rare type of lymphoma associated with textured breast implants, growing in the scar tissue surrounding the breast. While most breast implants are safe, this condition is thought to be related to the texturing process, possibly involving an inflammatory reaction or bacteria, though the exact cause is not definitively known. Symptoms include breast swelling, diffuse pain, itching, and other unexplained symptoms. If these occur, it is crucial to consult a plastic surgeon. BIA-ALCL is treatable and often curative if caught early, typically by removing the implant and surrounding scar tissue. There is a new FDA black box warning associated with BIA-ALCL. Difficulty in management arises when patients do not follow through or follow up with their care.
Source →
What is Breast Implant Illness (BII) and what are the observed outcomes of explant surgery?
Dr. Barr's practice observes patients reporting various symptoms associated with Breast Implant Illness (BII), including diffuse hair loss, brain fog, skin changes, fatigue, and thyroid issues. Research indicates that breast implants can lead to multiple health complications. For patients experiencing BII symptoms, explant surgery (implant removal) is performed, and most patients observe improvements after their implants are removed, though not all. Experiencing BII symptoms is an indication to seek further information or consultation.
Source →
What is Dr. Barr's unique mini facelift procedure?
Dr. Barr has developed his own unique mini facelift procedure, which he has been performing and updating for 30 years. It aims to lift the bottom and upper parts of the neck, create a better jawline, and address the cheek area. The procedure involves making a hidden incision that starts in a specific area and extends around, with an additional incision under the neck if required for neck access. It is performed in the office with local anesthesia (no IV or breathing tube), where patients receive an injection and a pill to relax, making the experience comparable to being at the dentist. Patients are expected to be pleased with the results.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$529

Payments

17

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Fredric M. Barr received $529 across 17 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
