Dr Kolb removed my breast implants after saying...

Bevts
$14,000

Dr Kolb removed my breast implants after saying they were ruptured. She removed lymph nodes, tissue, scraped ribs, reimplanted when agreed she would not if I had infection, and I have spent thousands trying to start to repair her botched work, plus I live w nerve pain daily. The worst day of my life is when I walked into her crystal laden office.

Wow! She has had wonderful reviews on this site. It appears that sometimes procedures work and sometimes they don't. I will pray for you. God Bless

I'm so sorry for your experience! When vetting this doctor for implant removal (which I still haven't had done), you will find some awful reviews of her by some patients. I also have read her book, and in my opinion, there are a huge amount of erroneous statements made. I've watched several of her videos and she simply isn't convincing. There's an insincerity about her that [to me] is very apparent. Personally, I'd stay away, far away. Just MHO. I'm regretful that you and I didn't connect prior to your implan't removal. Be well and God Bless!

Underpinning your comments are some interesting abstractions. I would agree that for those who do not find a doctor a good fit - move on. What matters is finding a doctor that aligns with one's belief systems, comfort with his/her approach to western and/or holistic medicine and that 'invisible' yet strong belief in the doctor one has chosen. For example, if one has connection to telepathic communication, clairvoyance, or pre-cognitive abilities, a doctor who embraces such an approach to healing would be better aligned with preferences for some individuals. I knew as soon as I read Dr. Kolb's book, shook her hand...I was struck with mutual intuitive energy and was immediately put at ease. The complicated surgery she performed, her ability to recognize and treat other medical conditions underlying my symptoms made my surgery and recovery successful. May we all find healers who put us on the path to recovery.

I'm happy that u find the best healer for your problems and sincerely hope that all of your health issues gonna be resolved. As for the above mentioned abilities, I was borned with them end to expedite matters I went to study Parapsychology in the 90s when it was still legal in Europe and graduated with "Cumma sum lade" (pardon if my Latin is false;) so I know quite much about telepathy; ESP; precognition and many other useful things like phantom surgery, aura diagnosis and healing with energy channeling from higher beings. Some cases it works true miracles by some it can't coz Karma, etcetera... Needless to say that combination of those with modern medicine is the best way to go... Of course some problems are only doable by one or the other;) although I can't practice officially here in Europe what I learned on the Academy coz in 2001 they outlawed it as a faculty but I do live my life to my studies accordingly and it definitely saved my life on many occasions, and maybe a few others too but I wouldn't go so far to say that for sure, even if they did afterwards. I have my theories however why the problems are happening with silicone implants with the people whose were borned and grew up on your continent way often than to us here in Europe and by looking up the statistics in comparison it's very much likely true. Anyways wish you a total recovery!

Please tell us all what erroneous statement I make in the book. I would say from your statements that you are certainly not ill from your implants. As I am the only plastic surgeon who became ill from silicone implants that then investigated the cause and the treatment, explain to us all why I am insincere. You certainly like to make broad critical statements with no supporting evidence.

I think that calling a doctor a conspiracy nut indicates that you are ignorant of the facts.

Yes u're right of course, sorry for that. I didn't read back than enough about it and made a harsh judgment. Since then I changed my point of view on the thematics and my only excuse that when I wrote that I read a woman's homepage who really was a conspiracy nut and mixes up medical and biochemical facts on the level of a 10 years old child, so I got overexcited (and angry) and I let it out on you. Pls forgive my ignorance! Still I believe that what happening with breast implants on US soil has other nominators then just the compounds of implants. Europe is different in many ways and here we have far less issues with or without implants than overseas...

Ps.: the PIP scandal in France and some doctors whose are reimplanting used or damaged implants of course are an exception however sad.

I'm truly sorry to hear of your experience. Feeling that the worst day of your life was when you had surgery with Dr. Kolb seems terribly tragic. One could also posit: who among us has been treated by multiple traditional western medicine doctors who actually believed us, determined underlying 'ailments' we have and knew the path to healing....? Dr. Kolb performed a very difficult explantation/lift for me just six weeks ago. I followed her detox protocol and feel better than I have in five years. I'm curious as to the reason you decided on Dr. Kolb; not having a more complete medical snapshot makes it tough to realize what may have happened. I do believe that fnding a healer that aligns with one's belief systems, approach to traditional and holistic medicine and confidence in that doctor from the moment s/he is brought into one's awareness is critical to the journey of healing. May you find peace and grace as you heal.

This patient has been asked to remove this post as it is completely inaccurate as to the facts including the fact that like many patients who come here, she has a preexisting positive culture from the capsule rather than an infection that came from our clinic. She was treated with the appropriate antibiotics and despite this, had a doctor in another state decide to stop antibiotics and this decision led to the loss of the implant in my opinion. She does not have nerve pain in my opinion, but pain from infection as her doctors in her state have not treated her correctly. We have many patients with similar positive cultures who are successfully reimplanted as most patients do have bacterial contamination of the capsule. If she would have let me continue to treat her, I feel she would now be pain free, but as such, she will probably have pain the rest of her life, as her doctors do not understand what is needed to get her well.
