Guest guest Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 , What brand is the pocket bra? I've only found a style of a Vanity Fair bra that works for me so far. I may have to check out Dillards. Patty ----- Original Message ----- From: naturalbeauty38 Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 3:54 PM Subject: Patty The new bra Does not sound like something that would work for us A cup ladies!I know that I like to wear my small enhancers to make me look about a Full B cup. I think that is about perfect with my figure. I get allot of compliments on my style, fashion sense and figure, so I think I must be doing something right. I love clothes! Anyhow, for spaghetti straps and stuff I still wear them, with a bra, I try to wear a bra that matches the top color, or I will wear a strapless padded bra in a size too big and stuff it with my enhancers. The only thing that is a drawback to this is that I don't like having the things against my skin. I found a cheap pocket bra at dillards and bought 3 of them so those work nice. I can even make myself have allot of cleavage if I wear the right bra, even with A cups.hugsC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA scheduled for 11/24 I am so sorry to hear about problems people are having. Just know, not every single person has had problems. I have had silicone implants for 20 years, They never ruptured, but did get a bit hard over the years, (encapsulation, scar tissue) and i decided to have new ones. Since I already had silicone, i had the option (that very few women have) and I chose again, to have silicone. (under the muscle this time) I am very happy with them. Just wanted to let everyone know, not everyone has bad stories. I hear in europe, silicone is the preferred choice. good luck to all of you. wishing you all well. any question, please, ask, but alls I ask in return, is no bashing.. my choice. thanks, good luck!

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Thanks Patty, I was able to see the picture. Mine does not look anything like that. I am convinced it is fungus because it has responded to Tinactin and Diflucan, but it just keeps coming back. It was almost gone on Thursday nite, barely visible and I was stoked. I used the Nystatin thinking it would wipe out the rash for good, but Friday evening it was horrible and now it is everywhere. Almost like the Nystatin was feeding it or something. Weird. I am still hoping that the dermatologist can help, if not, I won't be able to get explanted.

If your rash is anything like mine, the rash may still appear even after explant, until your body has eliminated all the toxins that are showing up through your skin. The dermatologist may be able to give you something to knock out your immune system response (like steroids, but that in itself is not a good thing!), and that may be the only thing you can hope for until the implants are removed. > Let us know what works for you. > Patty > > > ----- Original Message ----- > poi > From: nantynannie > > Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2004 9:54 AM > Subject: Patty > > > I was trying to see what your rash looked like, but I was unable to > locate the picture in the photo section.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Patty, I did wonder whether the Nystatin was actually working,and that it would get worse before it got better...but when it spread all over the place I thought I should stop. Have you had this experience with Nystatin, that it gets worse before it gets better? And if I have fungus inside from the implants, then it will be never ending because the source of the fungus is never ending until they come out. It's a catch 22 because he won't take them out until the fungus is gone.

The toxins from the dead fungus may even be worse than the fungus itself, and as long as they are being killed off, there will be a reaction. This is pretty much a common and expected result of detox. (the worsening of symptoms while things are dying off). > > Did you stop the nystatin? > > You may just want to do nothing until things settle down....I'm curious as to what the dermatologist will recommend, and if it will work for you. > Patty > > ---- Original Message ----- > From: nantynannie > > Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2004 11:27 AM > Subject: Re: Patty > > > Thanks Patty, I was able to see the picture.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Yes, you are in a catch-22. Try not to do any detoxing...it is possible that the rash may go away if your body is not actively detoxing, but you may need some pharmaceutical assistance to make it go away rather than waiting for it to do it on its own. In your case, it is more important to get the rash to go so you can have the surgery. I don't know what the implications of the rash are in regard to the surgery.....maybe you should find a new plastic surgeon, one who is understanding what is going on, and willing to do the explant anyway? Or are you satisfied that you have the best surgeon for this explant already?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 when you call blais they will explain - mark the package very clearly with failed medical devices being sent for testing - I used fedex with no problems although they were very carefully packaged, etc., but he received thousands of these each year and only uses fedex shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Basically what you are going to end up with scars depends on the technique the plastic surgeon is skilled in, and what breast tissue he has to work with. I think I would have been an excellent candidate for the lollipop lift, or vertical lift, like got. Check her pics out on the photos section. I got the anchor lift. The difference between the two is the horizontal scar left in the crease underneath your breast, (which the anchor scar leaves you with.) Most scars fade in a year. My nipple scars and the vertical scar are almost completely faded, and hardly noticeable. But the horizontal scar at the bottom of my breast is still red and very noticeable. If I would have had a lollipop lift, I wouldn't have even had that scar, and my breasts would have looked so much better. Find out for sure what kind of lift you are getting. I guess at this point if you are already scheduled, you can't do much about it, but didn't you guys discuss any of this already? I would be surprised if your surgeon didn't at least draw some type of visual for you, either on paper, or trying to portray it for you during consult to let you know how he was going to accomplish the removal and lift. Most of the girls don't have much significant scarring these days, as the techniques become more refined. Hopefully your surgeon has stayed on top of it--it sounds like he has, and hopefully you will have as little scarring as possible. Patty ----- Original Message ----- From: nantynannie Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 9:32 PM Subject: Patty I just read your post regarding the lift with anchor scars. I will be getting a lift with my explant and was wondering about the scarring. I have seen many pictures with very little scarring, especially after one year or so. Do you know if this is normal, or is it typical to have significant scars? Thanks for any info you have.Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Patty, I am getting the anchor lift...my PS said I would not be happy with the other one, maybe too much sagging without the implants I think. I was already sagging with a lot of breast tissue before the implants. Thanks for sharing the information, I am most worried about the vertical scar. Is the one on the bottom visible or is it basically hidden unless you look underneath? Are you putting anything or have you put anything on it to help?
