JourneyCC View Profile History	enhancing breast implants? Posted : 14 Sep, 2011 10:17 AM LOL Semper..... I think implants though riskier are no different than dying your hair! It's ALTERING what you naturally have. That said, I see nothing wrong with either. A person can't justify altering hair, and say implants are wrong........well they can, but they'd appear illogical :ROFL: Journey Post Reply

View Profile History	enhancing breast implants? Posted : 14 Sep, 2011 10:59 AM Millions of women get breast implants to improve their body image or replace breast tissue after cancer surgery. In most cases, the outcome is fine. But some patients suffer problems from ruptured devices to a newly discovered, rare cancer. Here�s what can go wrong with breast implant surgery� Many women think that cosmetic breast implants will change their lives, and often they do � sometimes in unexpected ways. Beth McMurray knows that all too well. The 59-year-old psychotherapist from Birmingham, Ala., ended her love affair with her movie-star breas*s after she suffered bouts of breast tenderness, an infection, fluid drainings and, finally, a deflated implant that shrunk her brea*t size from a C-cup to its original A. �I have a lot of discomfort. I can�t raise my arm, it�s difficult to sleep, and I wake up in pain,� McMurray says. Her post-surgery problems began a decade after she underwent cosmetic breast augmentation. �Now, I wish I�d never done it.� After-effects of breast implant surgery may include scar tissue, leakage, infection, cosmetic flaws, loss of nip*le sensation and, in rare cases, cancer. About 22,000 implants were removed because of problems in 2010, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). But that hasn�t put a crimp in women�s desire for them. That same year, there were nearly 300,000 breast augmentation procedures, up 39% from 2000. About a third, or 93,000, were reconstructions for cancer patients. Here are 6 complications to watch out for: 1. Capsular contracture The most common problem, capsular contracture, occurs when scar tissue, or a �capsule,� forms around an implant and becomes so tight it causes pain. Scar tissue forms whenever implants are surgically placed under breast tissue of chest muscle. About 25%-30% of patients with saline implants get capsular contracture within three years of breast implant surgery, according to a 2000 report by breast-implant manufacturers ordered by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). In a 2009 report by Mentor Corporation, a top manufacturer, about 8% of first-time silicone augmentation patients had severe capsular contracture up to three years after surgery, and 19% of revised-augmentation patients had it within three years. With capsular contracture, implants usually have to be removed and replaced, �particularly if the breast is hard, painful and looks abnormal,� Poore says. �Don�t panic � have it evaluated.� 2. Rupture and deflation �You go from having a breast, to not,� Funk says. Silicone implant ruptures aren�t always as obvious, but signs may include hard knots or lumps around the implant or in the armpit, a change in size or shape, pain, tingling, swelling, numbness, burning or hardening of the breast. If you experience any of these symptoms, immediately see your doctor. He may recommend removing and replacing the implant. 3. Infection It�s not common, but some women end up with a serious infection within a few weeks of breast implant surgery. Implants � like most foreign objects � attract bacteria. Because the devices lack their own blood supply, they can�t fight infection, says Susan Downey, M.D., associate clinical professor of plastic surgery at the University of Southern California. Infection-fighting antibiotics are deployed first for treatment. If they don�t work, you�ll need to have the implants removed and replaced after recovering completely from the infection. 4. Cancer Breast implants may be associated with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), according to new findings announced by the FDA in January 2011. The cause of this rare immune-system cancer is unkown In most cases, the cancer was diagnosed when women sought medical attention for pain, asymmetry, swelling, hardening of the breast area around the implant, or masses surrounding it. They typically experienced these symptoms years after the surgery, the FDA reports. One theory is that silicone, which has been found in scar tissue cells around the implant, triggers growth of infection-killing T-cells, says William Maisel, M.D., the FDA�s chief scientist. Even intact implants may �sweat� silicone, and that may �chronically irritate the capsule and stimulate the lymph system,� Funk says. That allows cells to mutate, causing cancer, she explains. 5. Changes in nip*le sensation In multiple studies during the last decade, 12%-35% of women lost nip*le sensation within three years of breast implant surgery, according to a federal Institute of Medicine review of the research. Up to 9% of women reported heightened nip*le sensitivity, improving sexual pleasure. That could be a psychological response to a woman�s improved self-esteem post-surgery, Downey says. 6. Implants get old Breast implants don�t last forever. The typical shelf life is 10-20 years, according to the ASPS. Gravity also takes a toll on augmented brea*ts, just like natural ones. �Sometime during your lifetime, [they] will have to be changed out, due to complications or dissatisfaction with how they look,� Downey says. �They almost all get replaced.� About 8% of women with saline breast implants have them removed within three years, and 12%-14% within 5 years, according to a review of past and ongoing studies by the Institute of Medicine. The removal rates for reconstruction patients were 23%-27% at three years and 28%-30% at five years. About 33% of silicone-gel patients had at least one re-operation in which one or both implants were removed or replaced, at an average of 11.5 years after the original procedure. And then there�s the cost. First-time cosmetic augmentation runs $4,000-$10,000, which includes each implant, anesthesia, the facility and the surgeon�s fee and it�s not covered by insurance, even if something goes awry later. Insurance covers reconstructive surgery after a mastectomy � including an additional implant for the unaffected breast to make the two appear even, doctors say. Re-operations sometimes cost more than the originals, doctors say. But some women opt not to replace implants after removal, and they may face breast dimpling, puckering or sagging. http://www.lifescript.com/Body/Looks/Fix-its/Top_6_Hazards_of_Breast_Implant_Surgery.aspx Post Reply
MyCrownIsGod View Profile History	enhancing breast implants? Posted : 14 Sep, 2011 11:25 AM LOL...If I could afford it, I'd get mine reduced...MAYBE...if a chiropractor told me I should for my overall health of my spine. However, I like my body pretty much how it is. I kind of wish I was a bit taller, but overall? Plastic surgery, for the most part, is a farce of a profession that preys on women's insecurities. I like who I am as a person. Women should feel proud of WHO they are, not what they LOOK LIKE...still, I know how some men can be kinda picky...they like them big, little, hand size, squishy, firm... My suggestion? Find I guy who cares more about your personality, integrity or your mind, more than your goodies. Post Reply
