Re: Re: Looking for Interviewees

[Guest guest]

We have everyone, including men with all types of implants, utilize our

services. A large number of women over the years that we have been

contacted by have had saline implants. They have equally as many problems

as those with silicone gel implants.

When Patty started this group, she had saline implants

in mind . . . However, the problems silicone gel

implanted women are very similar. We're all welcome!

I had silicone gel implants for 16 years.

I'd consider getting a mastopexy . . . a breast lift.

I wish my doctor had told me about that! . . . Many

difficult years and many dollars later, I finally got

one when my implants were removed! I'm very happy with

the outcome.

That takes care of the birthday suit . . . There are

lots of lovely bras that can give you whatever look

you want when dressed!
