You and I are similar. I had them put in in 2007 around same time, out last year 2012. same thing w weight etc (except I gained after) I like warner's no underwire bras that are push up and padded at the BOTTOM so they lift em' up. It is all I wear (even to the gym) Do a search on the underwire being unhealthy and some books written saying it causes cancer. I don't do sports bras- makes me look flat... but the push up bras make me look perky and cleavage if I want for a nice dress or occasion. You have to get push up kind padded only at bottom. They rock. I tighten the straps a little in the back on each side and they lift everything up quite nicely (disclaimer: i don't work for them or have any affiliation w them lol, can find at most dept or discount clothing stores)
So sorry you had this reaction! :( I had ultherapy in October (at board certified plastic surgeon's office by a technician) and didn't have any bruising but had headaches and pain (and "visual snow" now for six months after. It was extremely painful too when they did it (didn't cry and only had a little Tylenol- they gave me nothing else!) They let me come in to do a retouch on the neck since they learned going down further on the neck now can help with lines so I went in and felt nothing! (well very little) when she said "ok here we go" I said "I feel nothing, must not be working" She said they updated the software after complaints from pain and now somehow it's just as effective but comparing last time to a 10? this time was a 1 or 2. I thought gee, I wish they'd updated it BEFORE I got mine in October! (review coming soon) Again So sad to hear that you had to go through all this pain and bruising and hope it paid off! six months later? I still have visual snow/after images (you can google or wiki it- it's a problem w vision. Lovely eh? :-/
Hi Hope! I didn't do a review of her explant but really need to. She saved me! :) My boyfriend (Dr Mercola- who is a doc but more into natural health these days) and I both knew Susan. She has been such a blessing. We didn't know I also had Lyme disease at the time (just got back positive blood test- had a while as I got bit by a tick BEFORE getting implants) but implants just made everything worse. I lived through the surgery though and she's an artist at putting me back together and did a nice lift (Natural looking too)
She was on Discovery channel too recently (a little cheesy how they did the program but she is the best -really cares about her patients) You can tell her Erin and Dr Mercola sent her if you end up going to her. They get pretty busy there so if you leave a message they will call you back. She's in ATlanta not too terribly far from the airport in a nice comfy office and I like that her surgery center is RIGHT there. Everything is there. She's been there years (think nearly 30 yrs as a surgeon) I need to write up a review to help others. I'll do that. I am doing SO much better after getting them out. I didn't get better immediately (other friends I have who went to her personally got better faster than I did) but then thankfully that showed me something else was wrong, we did the Lyme test and solved the rest of the riddle :) getting treated for that too and now all my problems just about solved lol... I was surprised how good everything looked afterward. i was left w actually a small C cup lifted and very happy. (Just happy to get them out too as I had mentor saline smooth which are known to have leaky valves and mine caused mold.. Hope this link comes through- if not just do a search Dr. Susan Kolb Monsters Inside me Discovery Channel... I hope it goes well for you and feel free to let me know :) She's really the only one I'd go to is her because she almost does all exclusively explants and that is not an expertise as most docs as it is her. You might get insurance to cover it too. My friend's did but mine went bankrupt (my own ins co!) at that same time (ugh) BUT my new insurance Blue cross probably would have paid for it. Good luck! :) XO Erin
(oops just tried to include the link and it won't work. do a search for what i said and it has a short (really short) program at her surgery center w what she does.... The tv program is cool and very short.
Knock wood just had my neck done this past week and above eyebrows /eye area and no pain afterward, a tiny bit tender and i'm a super fair strawberry blonde w most sensitive skin she'd seen she said to me. Depends how high they turn it up too....
After seeing him on Dr Phil and the countless surgeries he did on one single person and looking at his face which looks like it's stretched 100x tighter across his (Dr Chugay's) face. I'd say run run run!
