Bikini Area Burned by Laser Hair Removal: Make Educated Decision if You Are OLIVE or DARKER Tones - Houston, TX

Hello, I looked just like you before I got 325cc implants. Believe me 10 years later, I had them removed and my breasts never took the same shape again. I lost tissue and had scars to remind me everyday of my foolishness. I regret it everyday. There is NOTHING wrong with small boobs. You look beautiful without them! I wish some one had told me that I didn't need fake boobs to feel femenine, because it's not a look it's an attitude and if you work it you'll turn heads anytime. Remember men like self confident women. I know it can invade your mind but seriously consider all the risks associated with implants not just double bubble. I feel your frame is too small for the size you want and you will look plastic-e. I had them removed because the chronic back pain from the carying them never went away and I was never able to lay flat on my tummy more than 10 minutes without feeling that I was laying on top of two plastic balls. I am not judging, God know I need lots of self esteem help after removing them and undergoing another even more foolish procedure. Please consider very well your decision and if necessary go talk to a councelor before undergoing the procedure. I wish some had advised the same to help me sort my thoughts. Best of luck.

I went today to request a refund on the remaining sessions (I bought packages) and was refunded for treatments that I will not receive. I am glad that they were very helpful about refunding me completely with exception of the treatments I had already received.

As usual, they told me it will clear up "completely". I really want to believe it but.... Who in the cosmetic industry wants to admit that there is a possibility of it not changing? They told me to purchase a bleaching cream that they sell, it contains 4% hydroquinone but I am not sure b/c of the controversy that surrounds it.

The laser used was Gentle Yag with 18/18 setting. A tech told me that it was very uncommon for this to happen though I am skeptical.

Similar experience on Arms.

I had laser hair removal from the elbow down with IPL over a 1 year period. It wasn't until a few months after the treatment that I noticed my skin had aged! I was 27 at the time and it became very thin and wrinkled. I was also left with a lot of hyperpigmentation that when I get even a little sun turn very brown. I can tell the age difference between the upper and lower arms. I regret having done this. Now, as I age my arms and hands will look much older. It makes me sad b/c I have good elasticity and good genes that I deliberately ruined.

Hi Ladies,

So glad I found this post! I was explanted 2 weeks ago and I thought that I would be happy being the "old" flat 34AAA that I was 10 years ago, I'm distraught. I was used to seeing the volume and I loved it but the implants were giving me to much muscle pain I was a 34B with them. I wish I had done better research and gotten it done intandem with fat transfer. Michelle, can you tell us what type of lipo Dr. Rogers did on you? It seems that there are some types that should not be done in order to keep the fat cells alive. Did he use your stem cells? I was considering DR Khouri in Miami because he seems to be pioneer and "best" at it was Dr. Rogers trained by Dr. Khouri? Did you use the Brava system?

Thanks!

I would not go in for a 4th time. I think you should take it as a sign that your body is not ok with the implants. It's taken me 10 years to realize that the implants don't make me. I will soon be explanted.
