Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Please do not let this doctor touch you. You should not have to do two surgeries. A good plastic surgeon can do the lift at the same time as removal. If a doctor does not believe implants cause problems, they are reluctant to do the proper procedure. Sometimes they find excuses after the surgery to tell you why they could not do it as you wanted it done. Where are you? Maybe we can find a recommended one near you.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Kim, I'm traveling so your message is probably already answered . . . . My response is to forget about that doc . . . He's already told you enough to know he's not well informed and won't do a good job. You deserve much better!
