Re: Woman Dies After Cosmetic Surgery..

June 23, 2002

I had Dow silicone BI in 1985. Had them for 16 yrs. Explanted May 2001.

When I heard about the problems women were having, around 1992, I went

to see my p/s. He assured me, that MOST of the women that were having

problems were due to the fact they were put in by " non qualified

doctors. " Talk about being " lied to " & feeling stupid NOW.

When I read this article about the woman dying, it brought back memories

of just HOW the media will report things. It would have been so easy for

them to include in this clip about how sick women were from BI. But

NO.The main focus was THE DOCTOR.

Had I just had BI surgery & saw this, I wouldn't have given it a second

thought. I would have thought.. " Oh it was the doctor's fault " , thus

shifting everything I've heard about BI to the doctor.

Granted, this WAS a case of complications due to surgery & people DO

have complications. I'd like to see the media report on how many suffer

& die just from complications due to the silicone itself.

Can anyone else who's been in this & thru this relate to what I'm

saying? Is this just being " all set up " & well orchestrated for women

who will have & will have problems with the Saline BI in the future?
