Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 To Dr. Kolb, I have had a hair analayis which has not done anything for me, but open my wallet, and take food from my table and proper treatments from me! I have done every detox, tried every herb, vitamin, therapies, with no avail. It is all about you making money off us sick disabled people. I am one of the fortunate ones who functions at 10 percent of a real person. I think your supplements are WAY OVER PRICED. I can get the SAME supplements you sell for half the price. You seem to be about the american dollar. Oh yeah I have a bridge I would like to sell you for cheap, which one would you like to buy, the London Bridge or the Sanfransico bridge? It might make you feel better too! I think you feed off the sick ill women and promise them hope. WEll Miss Kolb WHERE are all the implant people you have cured? It has been 2 years, and my health is getting worse.I am to blame, I put the implants in, there was no gun to my head. But it is people like you who really just want to make money! I am alot wiser and smarter than you think. I used your protocol, vitamins, ect. Where are all the women you 'made better that could not walk down the stairs, or where in bed for a year. AND why do you have Salines if you were " supposidly so sick from your Silicones...Do you have proof you were sick from silicones???WE will never know will we???? YOu put the poision in, yet you take them out. Must be nice to live the good life, in a nice house. Hope you can look yourself in the mirror everynite and be happy with yourself! I really think you should stop trying to publisize your business on the internet, because my friend went to you for explant,,,,and I have no comment on it.........MissBoop...P.S. If you write back I will not be reading anymore emails I am officially off the group because I don't believe you are honest...By the way, You cannot get me for slander, because this is AMERICA and we have the write to FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!!!P.s I don't see any other dr.s trying to get clients to come and see them.....you must be real desperate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2002 Report Share Posted February 2, 2002 Thank you Dr. Kolb. Will you not say what other doctors do (be it good or bad) out of professional courtesy? Legally speaking, as long as the information is true, it's not slander. I welcome your honesty as I have already been hurt by one PS. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 Thanks Dr. Kolb. I'm going to check into getting Angelika to a homeopath close to her in North Carolina. I agree with you that it's essential to go through a detox program straight away after being explanted. This should be a part of the ongoing care the surgeon gives to the patient. Take care, -Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Dr. Kolb: Hi. When I called Dr. Feng's office, her nurse told me the Dr. Feng being a micro-surgeon was vitally important in have a mastopexy and this is why (using micro-surgical instruments) would yeild better results. Can you please clarify what the differences between microsurgical instruments and standard surgical instuments would be as far as the outcome of scars woulb be. told me it makes a huge difference.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 is misleading you in order to get business for Dr. Feng. Microsurgery is not used in mastopexy. Check any plastic surgery textbook.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 Is there a reason why you use non dissolvable stitches? Is there an advantage that you see by using these as opposed to dissolvable. I think for women who need to travel dissolvable stitches are very attractive. Also do you stitch from the inside or the outside. Again I have heard allot of women say that they have railroad track incisions from nondisolvable external sutures. Not sure since I did not have them. I am not the one who said Dr Feng used microvascular surgery on me, she didn't I am sure, but I felt that her experience with such delicate procedures may be an advantage, this is not a fact just my own opinion, which may or may not be worth anything to anyone, cept me, ha ha.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 The majority of stitches are internal and dissolvable. The external sutures may be not used at all, used only in critical places, or if needed used more frequently. I usually remove them at 4 to 7 days so as not to get stitch marks. Most women choose to stay 4 to 7 days in order to get drains out. I perform one to four explants a week so I have significant experience with the procedure. Photos are not really accurate for any one patient as each person has issues that need to be addressed individually and looking at a whole collection of photos is of more value than just a few. I review photos at the consultation but emphasize that results are individual depending on many factors and even I am not always able to predict outcomes especially when many surgeries have been done. I am very careful not to make claims that may not be fulfilled. This surgery is very difficult and sometimes unpredictable. Dr. Feng and myself both have had less than optimal outcomes so please encourage the women to be realistic in their expectations. . ----- Original Message ----- From: Heer <idagirl@...> < > Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2002 12:19 AM Subject: Re: To Dr. Kolb > Is there a reason why you use non dissolvable stitches?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 When I was implanted, they used non dissolvable stitches and my scars were horrible and looked railroad track like. Especially around the nipple when the guy tried to do a mastopexy where he cut just the top portion of the nipple. What an idiot. I had to undergo cortisone shots in that area. All of the incisions scarred up terribly and he said it was just the way I healed. That is crap because my scars now look awesome. They are very thin and turning white. As for the old ones they were thick and lumpy and stayed reddish purple. That is what I get for not being informed but I did not have access to the internet back then.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Thank you Dr. Kolb. I have already confirmed with a female PS at Daertmouth that you are correct when you say MICROSURGERY IS NOT USED IN MASTOPEXY. This PS I saw was also trained in microsurgery. I don't know why would say this. It's appears a bit disheartening and misleasding. Thanks again for clarifying the matter. -Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Suturing techniques are important. I had outside stitches and have railroad tracks. The best surgeons will use internal stitching not metal suters like the kind my PS used. -Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 No offense to anyone, but Dr. Kolb is right, made these claims to me.She further commented that this (microsurgery) was the reason MASTOPEXIES (not explantation as per my case) can't be performed with local/sedation because the microsurgery technique on the breasts involve deep tissue stuff. Perhaps she did this unknowingly and Dr. Feng is not aware (I hope this is the case). But it did cause confusion and inconvenience with me b/c I dismissed other PS as a possiblity who did not list microsurgery (on the breast) as a specialty. Microsurgery or not, suturing techniques are very important when choosing a surgeon.Feng does good scars from what I gather but the anesthesia issue/microsurgery thing (claim) leaves me with questions.Finding THE RIGHT surgeon is very diffucult indeed. As has mentioned, some of use got screwed big time with fat scars and/or railroad track marks.I'm one of them. I had interview number 7 for a PS yesterday in LA. I figured I was seeing a hormone specialist so thought I'd see another. This was a pleasant change from Shapiro and Gordon as they where disappointing to say the least. -Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 , hi. I agree with you. I too was mislead. LA went well. I'll e-mail you soon. Take care, -Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Hi Ang: I agree. Good docs can do good scars though in some cases, things can go bad like keloids. In my case, I think it has nothing to do with my skin, as my appendix scar looks good. My former PS was--is an unskilled asshole who has NO BUSINESS doing surgery. He's a butcher--pure and simple. I'm glad your new scars are doing well. You look great. Gordon did a good vertical mastopexy on you--no doubt about it (thought I think you need a doc to cleanse you out, he's not the one for that). He's just NOT the doc for my situation. I think he needs to fire his office manager too.She has no integrity whatsoever.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 Hi Dr Kolb: Thanks for the info about anesthesia. My endocrinologist and dermatologist agree that it's not just the general anesthesia drugs itself that has caused my telogen effluvium but it's the impact general anesthesia has on my thyroid. I have hypothyriodsm. After undergoing a general anesthetic procedure, my TSH became abnormal and 6-8 weeks later I lots thousands of hairs. Have you seen this in any of your patients? I know it's rather uncommon, I guess I'm just one of the unlucky ones. Dr. D. Whiting at Baylor University says telogen effluvium occurs in about 20% of the population who undergo surgery. The degree of the loss varies from one patient to the next. Dr. Feng's nurse () told me this is not so. My docs and the medical lit say otherwise. Thanks for your post. -Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
