Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks Leanne, Good news about Toni Braxton...thanks! I would bet that by reconstructive surgery, she probably had something like fat transfers. She sure has the money to have that done by Dr. , the one who charges $25,000! (I think that's what we were told by someone who consulted with him.) That's insane, but when you have the money....whatever. I think there is more promising technology coming in regards to using our own tissue, so that's what I'd do. She was sure smart in removing them for good. I'm proud of her!
