Guest guest Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 Hi everyone Today I spoke with a reporter from the Washington post about an article he is doing on breast implants. He was very kind and had lots of good questions. He had several that I had not thought too much about and one was the fact that even though gel implants are not to be used on anyone under 18 the ASPRS site actually gives statistics saying that last year 3,000 under 18 years of age young women were implanted with gel implants. He asked me if I am aware of any of these women or of the Dr's who might be doing these surgeries. I am not, but thought I would through this out there to anyone who might know more about this. If anyone here would like to be interviewed or just speak to him you can reach him at his email at kaufmanm@.... He seemed sensitive to our side and has lots of info on negatives about implants and his own concerns that I found interesting coming from a male reporter. if anyone is interested or has knowledge of any thing about gel implants being used in cases where the patients don't actually meet the criteria for implantation(such as under 18) please contact him. I would assume you don't have to use names or anything although I did use my name. anyhow this is a great opportunity for us to speak up about the negative things that no one ever wants to talk about so please, try to help out if you are a local DC resident.
