Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Hi , You’re right, it is “just TV” but it was also some unlucky woman’s body. A shame. Kenda Do any of you watch Nip/Tuck? Last night on the season premeire they were performing an explant on a broken silicone implant and the doctor was just pulling out long stringy handfuls of silicone gel. Then they show him popping in a new implant into the breast. I started to cry. It was just a bit more than I could take so soon after my own explant. I yelled out that he wasn't performing an En Bloc procedure and he was doing it all wrong. My husband had to calm me down and tell me it was just TV. Of course it is just TV, but it's things like that that young and vulnerable women are watching. I didn't think I would get choked up over seeing an explant on TV like that, but I did. I guess sometimes we don't realize how intensly emotional what we are going through really is.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Well actually not. Nip/Tuck is drama so it wasn't real at all, but they sure make it look real! > Hi , > > You¹re right, it is ³just TV² but it was also some unlucky woman¹s body.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Oh, ok. I’ve never seen it, I’m glad it wasn’t a live person but it’s still pathetic. Kenda Well actually not.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Nip/Tuck is actually an anti-plastic surgery show. The originator decided to do it after visiting a plastic surgeon who tried to convince him that he needed a major make-over. The surgeries they do are not real! They are intended to be as gross as possible to disuade people from getting the surgeries. . . and to make the plastic surgeons to look like jerks! Please don't let the show bother you!

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 There is an anti-implant show? That's one I will have to see - when is it and on what channel? I hate the whole idea of 'make-over'. I find it appalling. > Nip/Tuck is actually an anti-plastic surgery show.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Nip/Tuck is not for the faint of heart! It's a VERY sexual drama that is on FX network on Tuesday nights at 10pm. They have shown many surgeries on the show, all done with prosthetics, but the main story line is the life of the two surgeons. I have seen them do several stories about implants, but had never seen them show a broken silicone leak before. It was intense for me, but only because I had just gone through my own 5 hours of explant/mastopexy. It's a good show, but be prepared for a lot of sex and nudity.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Nip/Tuck is anti-plastic surgery . . . But they don't come out and say that! . . . It's on the F/X cable network. It's really raw! --- MollyBloom54 <jawlaw93@...> wrote: > There is an anti-implant show? That's one I will > have to see - when is it and on what > channel? > I hate the whole idea of 'make-over'.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Thanks for sharing that. I appreciate it! I would have felt that way also if I had seen that episode. It is amazing that even seeing these gross procedures don't seem to discourage women from seeking implant surgery! Sometimes it feels like we are fighting a losing battle with the fda. That is why it is so important to keep sharing our stories. Hugs, kathy > Do any of you watch Nip/Tuck?
