    Look up Dr.Periconnes 3 day diet. It does work. Also try his blue plasma. If you have a sephora by you, ask for a sample and use for a week. You will be amazed. The fish oil and eating salmon works wonders for your face. Also order DMAE cream from Iherb.com for your face.
  • Posted to I Have a Slight Double-bubble and Was Offered Free Revision. Can I Reuse my Implants? on 2 Feb 2013
    Don't let these doctors give you wrong information. This doctor says the truth. The reuse of breast implants is a practice that is greatly discouraged. The FDA has stated "Breast implants are intended for single use only." Implant manufacturers also discourages this practice and will void the implant warranty in such situation. Also, you never know the amount of stress the implant was under in the previous host and you can not be sure the implant is sterilized adequately for re-implantation. A doctor will not perform such a procedures because of all the risks and their work can not be guaranteed or backed up by the warranty

    Implants are "Single Use Device". Once they are removed, they cannot resterlize the implant, there is a biofilm left on the implant that could cause an infection, that could lead to Capsular Contracture or an infection. Surgeons are misleading the patients by saying it is okay to reuse them. They are not "Single Patient Device", They are labeled "Single Use Device". You can call Allergan, and they will tell you the same thing. Once the implant is removed from the body, it should be discarded and a new implant should be used.
  • Posted to Should Plastic Surgeons Have a Informed Consent if They Are Reusing the Same Implant in Revision Surgery? on 1 Oct 2012
    Guess you doctors do not no the difference Between "single use Device" and "single patient use Device" Single use device (SUD) is a medical device that is intended to be used on an individual patient during a single procedure and then discarded. Medical devices that are for single use must be clearly labeled with the words “do not reuse”. The synonymous terms for “do not reuse” are “single use” or “use only once”. "Single patient use devices"is A medical device that is intended for single-patient use means that the device may be used for more than one episode of use on one patient only Breast implants are Labeled "Single USE ONLY" Do not reuse. SO please get your facts right. Allergan also states if you reuse the implant our warrantly will be void. You are using it as a "Single-patient use" device which is wrong to tell on a public forum.
