Re: Re: need help - Dr. Huang, Denver

[Guest guest]

I'm not sure how much Dr. Huang charges as we never got into it. I know how you feel about having to wait. Maybe she'll have a cancellation in the meantime. She has before and after photos which might set your mind at ease about how you'll look afterwards.

I have a long history with implants (total of 7 surgeries) as I had problems with scar tissue with silicone implants before the Mentor salines. I got a lift when I had the first set of implants removed. I wouldn't recommend that surgeon (Dr. Zwiebel) as it turns out he didn't remove the capsule properly (according to Dr. Blais) and my lift didn't look that great (hence getting another set of implants two years later). As it wasn't necessary to get a lift with this last surgery, it was considerably cheaper. I wouldn't recommend that surgeon (Dr. Terrence at Swedish Hospital) either as he didn't really believe my implants were making me sick; however, I was desperate to get them out and the price was right as he gave me a break ($1,000). I think I paid over $6,000 for the previous explantation/lift.

Keep us informed about what you decide to do.

Call every few days to see if she has a cancellation. Some women have

gotten in much sooner that way.
