Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 The girl I sent you the email address of had smooth, she told me she wrote you, there are some others that I know of, but also remember you had silicone first so who knows how much of the damage was done by those over the years, yes I do believe textured are worse, but in the end they are all a foreign object so I wouldn't say that there is any conclusive proof one is better than the other, just seems that textured have more probs and that is the opinion of some medical experts. Not all. Love, ----- Original Message ----- From: Katz Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 9:05 AM Subject: textured v. smooth Are textured more harmful than smooth, or are they both equally harmful.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 The majority of patients that I perform explants on are ill from textured implants. Over 90% are infected. Most of the smooth saline patients who are ill are also infected. Please see frequently answered questions on www.plastikos.com and also the information on the saline and silicone newsletters. Thank you. . ----- Original Message ----- From: Katz Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 11:05 AM Subject: textured v. smooth Are textured more harmful than smooth, or are they both equally harmful.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 It is my opinion that both are equally bad, but textured implants seem to allow for more shedding of silicone particles.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 Yes this I also feel is true, I mean they are all foreign objects made up of the same stuff, I know women ill from both kinds and it would seem while not many people answered the polls if you go there on this site the numbers are about equal, I wish more would have answered, but it gives you a small insight, when I talked to Dr Fengs nurse recently she said that they are seeing more and more women, everyday ill, from all types of implants, she explained that textured seem to have one thing that makes them different and that is a foam cell reaction that occurs in all textured implants that does not occur in smooth, I am not sure what that is though, does anyone here know? ----- Original Message ----- From: Patty Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 8:54 AM Subject: Re: textured v. smooth It is my opinion that both are equally bad, but textured implants seem to allow for more shedding of silicone particles.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 Just like the lungs have an incredibly large surface area to absorb oxygen . . . the textured implant surface area has much more exposure to the body. Common sense would tell one that the more exposure, the more likely the problems.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 The surgeons are seeing a much more severe reaction around textured implants than smooth unless there is infection of the smooth capsules. We are also seeing more women sick from textured that from smooth. . ----- Original Message ----- From: Heer Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 11:04 AM Subject: Re: textured v. smooth Yes this I also feel is true, I mean they are all foreign objects made up of the same stuff, I know women ill from both kinds and it would seem while not many people answered the polls if you go there on this site the numbers are about equal, I wish more would have answered, but it gives you a small insight, when I talked to Dr Fengs nurse recently she said that they are seeing more and more women, everyday ill, from all types of implants, she explained that textured seem to have one thing that makes them different and that is a foam cell reaction that occurs in all textured implants that does not occur in smooth, I am not sure what that is though, does anyone here know? ----- Original Message ----- From: Patty Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 8:54 AM Subject: Re: textured v. smooth It is my opinion that both are equally bad, but textured implants seem to allow for more shedding of silicone particles.
