Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Lynda I am sorry to hear about your terrible implant nightmare. I want to tell you since your too busy I did go to check out Dr Huang's website and it does seem very much positive or pro implant. She has a link to the site I have been going to implantinfo.com right on her website. In fact I wrote to her, I am still waiting for her to respond. I gather from her website she does quite a few implantations, no where does she talk about removal or implant illness. She seems to like Textured implants. I would not get those as they are firmer and less natural.I get the feeling your too busy to help women with their questions or maybe your not feeling good. Hope you feel better soon. I will post my response to my questions to Dr Huang about implant safety if and when she answers it. In , Lynda <coss@p...> wrote: > I am sure I read some of your other posted messages.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Stacey, Why? I will ask Dr. Huang about them too. They told me there is less chance to get what I have capsular. I have smooth ones now. They are too big too.Elainestacydel34 <stacydel34@...> wrote: I wrote to her, she has not ansered but I don't like her textured implantsIn , l love wrote:> Stacey,> Are you going to see Dr. Huang? I already talked to them about saltwater implants, except for capsular which I have, wrong placement of implant and infection, these are safe.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 You can just reply. It goes to the group, and anyone who wishes to can respond. Dr. Gilbert Lee in San Diego removes implants properly. There are others, look at our doctors file. Lynda At 12:29 PM 2/27/2005, you wrote: >I live in CA. Can you help with this response stuff?
