Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Hi Liz, I've tagging on late here, but that is how mine also looked, I was scared to look & when I did I regretted it, they were horrible, but just focus on resting & your breast will do what they need to do, it took mine about 2 wks to fluff back & they were looking like they did before implants in no time. Hang in there! How are your symptoms? I noticed a huge difference instantly. Did the PS say anything about your capsules? --- In , " Liz " <elizabethhogg@s...> wrote: > > thank you for everyone who has emailed me back. i am just feeling down > about how they look. but everyone had told me it will just take time. > they have been very compressed. so this is normal after the surgery. > that is all i wanted to know. i do feel better and i know this will > take time to get back to the way i used to be. i just need to be very > patient. i saw that mtv show and that just made me so sick about how > that girl was acting and how her boyfriend was the same way. she did > not need any kind or surgery at all. but i was once in that boat also. > chat with you guys later. > > liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I just glanced over at my implants as they were removed & they were a bright yellow, they disposed of them very quickly & I didn't ask to keep them to send off to Dr Blaise, and they didn't offer to run any kinds of tests/coultures. I wish so bad I would've asked to keep them, but at the time I didn't really want to know & I just wanted them out!

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hi Liz. I have issues with the way my breasts look (I was explanted about a year and a half ago.) It was hard for me too seeing the girl on Mtv. It seems like everything is so focused on breasts. Movies, music, everything. It hurts me to see that stuff - pretty much on a daily basis. I'm hoping that will get better as time goes by. I'm just still so bitter. But, you know...we are lucky because we learned a valuable lesson that so many people seem to be oblivious to - and that's the importance of health and strength over physical things. Be strong. It'll get better...and you are not alone. That one fact has kept me going so many times! - Colleen > > thank you for everyone who has emailed me back. i am just feeling down > about how they look. but everyone had told me it will just take time. > they have been very compressed. so this is normal after the surgery. > that is all i wanted to know. i do feel better and i know this will > take time to get back to the way i used to be. i just need to be very > patient. i saw that mtv show and that just made me so sick about how > that girl was acting and how her boyfriend was the same way. she did > not need any kind or surgery at all. but i was once in that boat also. > chat with you guys later. > > liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Hi, I also did not ask to keep my implants and found out later that the hospital had thrown them away. However, I was able to obtain copies of the slides that were taken by the hospital pathologist along with his written report. It is my understanding that this is standard proceedure. Even though there were only two, one of which was bad, I was able to send them to a lab, who in turn reported that I had silicone throughout my body.
