Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hello Ladies, I finally found all of my implanting documentation and confirmed with my implanting doc on the details of my surgery. I have PIP textured saline implants. I read that these were not approved and are not available in the U.S. anymore (since 2000). The warning says that the denial is because of the manufacturer's inability to provide long-term study on the product. Has anyone heard of this? Anyway, they will be off to Dr. Blais in a week. My surgery is on the 22nd. I have limited internet access, but will try and check back on the 20th. Take Care & Be well...or as well as you can be. Hugs.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 , Word from one of our plastic surgeons is that, although PIP was not approved, they were actually the safer of the saline implants. No defective valve to leak. Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Dearest : Thank you for this information. I thought that " The " saline implant was the safest, no such thing as a safe saline according to Dr. Blais. Could you please tell me what the textured material is? I hope that it is not polyurethane. I will look in The Augmented Breast, in this book they talk about just about every breast implant. Take care....love always...Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` PIP implants > Hello Ladies, > > I finally found all of my implanting documentation and confirmed with > my implanting doc on the details of my surgery.
