Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi Lindee, Wasn't sure if you still needed info on recommended plastic surgeons? I can only add a little to what has already been posted: Dr. Kolb & Dr. Melmed have very different opinions when it comes to capsule removal and post-op recovery/detoxing. Dr. Kolb makes " every " effort to remove " all " of the scar capsule; whereas, Dr. Melmed will remove easily, accessable scar capsule tissue. Dr. Kolb believes in taking an active approach to healing, recovery & detoxing: whereas, Dr. Melmed believes in a passive approach, kind-of a wait and see how you heal/feel. Dr. Kolb is the only plastic surgeon in the country that is also a certified naturopath. She, also, has saline implants herself as a result of becoming ill from her silicone implants; so, she has first-hand knowledge of what we go through. Not saying that one physician is " better " than another , but pointing out their differences. Which is better?...Could be said to be a matter of opinion/personal preference. I followed Dr. Kolb's protocol for 6 months last year and can say I believe in and had many improvements healthwise, while on her recommended supplements and have read numerous posts from surgically satisfied patients of hers. Hope this helps and hope you are feeling better! Hugs, Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
