  1. So please GET OFF THE SITE if some posts creep you out. SMH. Why read them in the first place. She is entitled to her opinion as you are to yours, OK? You are just as overreaching telling her off. This is HER STORY not yours.
     
  2. MissO you're forgetting you are getting older and some of those symptoms are just due to age, wear and tear. However if you do have those nasty implants and can afford to have them out, I would do it. Even the statins are a no-no for a lot of people.

    LOL you're the second person to ask me to do that. Have been busying tweeting morning, noon and night for the Republicans during the MidTerm. (Before any of you scream about this, you vote for who you want and I'll stick with Trump2020). I have a ton of followers who I can't let down but being in Australia with the time difference I have to stay up till midnight when dawn breaks in the US, every time I go to the loo say 3am I tweet and then I get up at 5am to twit as it is after 4pm in the US. LOL my followers think I am a Yank.

    I will think about it but I may not want to give away all my secrets, he, he.
    In fact, I have been downloading b&a's for so many years that I now have stockpile of photos that the clinic no longer use on their websites but I have saved them as I find they are helpful as a point of reference. And funny enough you find your 'taste' change too over the years, what you thought were great results are no longer the case 5 years down the line.
     
  4. MissO not sure if FB link below will work. I’ve turned off computer and logged on via phone.
    Extract:
    Suddenly, women like Jamee Cook had evidence suggesting their suffering might be linked to their breast implants. An emergency room paramedic, Cook had quit her job because of a vague but persistent array of health problems that stretched over a decade, including exhaustion, migraines, trouble focusing and an autoimmune disorder diagnosis.

  5. I'm posting this b&a here as MissO thread is getting too big. The internet speed in Australia is SLOW and takes ages to go from 1 page to another especially when the pages are almost at 100.
    I post one of Dr Jacono's facelift pic before but can't find it so posting it here again. Also adding another one I found today.
    He did an SMAS lift on this woman when she was 70 and 5 years on at 75 the lift has held up. Furthermore she looks so much younger at 75 than she did at 70. I am sure a lot is due to her oily thick skin of her middle eastern or mediterranean heritage.
    Lastly this woman is a grandmother, no age mentioned. Amazing neck lift and removal of her jowls.

  6. 2 years is pretty good but I think it may even last longer than that in the breast because it's not like fat in your face where you move your facial muscles a lot. Probably also the amount of fat in the breast would be substantially more than what you would inject in your face. I have see pics of BBL (Brazilian Butt lift) Dominican Rep Duran 1 yr post 181127.jpgDominican Rep Duran 2 yrs post 2015.jpg patients still amazing 2 years post and you would use your butt muscles more frequently than your breast, IMO.
     
  7. Just read this from NBC News.

    Doctors, patients raise alarms about cancer linked to breast implants

    Although doctors have linked the cancer to a specific kind of implant, manufacturers have no plans to stop making it or doctors to stop using them!

    NBC News Nov. 27, 2018 / 6:46 AM

    When Michelle Forney’s breast started swelling and itching, doctors told her she had mastitis, a common infection, and treated her with antibiotics. When she discovered that she, in fact, had a rare form of lymphoma and that it was probably caused by her breast implant, she was both furious and frightened.

    Forney is just one of hundreds of breast-implant recipients who have developed a rare blood cancer called anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). The Food and Drug Administration has been investigating reports linking breast implants with the cancer, and now has more than 400 reports about patients who developed ALCL after having a breast implant, including nine who died.

    “I had my breast implants for about 19 years. And everything was fine for many of those years until about three years ago,” when she developed major itching and pain in her breast, said Forney, who is 46 and lives in Sacramento.

    “Come December of last year, I woke up one day and my breast was the size of a volleyball. Within a day it grew and just engorged,” Forney told NBC News. “So I immediately went back to the doctor, saw my OB-GYN and she brought in a breast specialist. And they said: ‘Oh, breast mastitis. You have an infection.’”

    But a 10-day course of antibiotics did nothing to help.

    Forney’s doctors did not link the symptoms to lymphoma, she said, and mammograms showed NO problem. It took several more visits to determine she had lymphoma. Finally, after a plastic surgeon persuaded Forney to have her implants removed, DOZENS of tiny tumors were found around the implant.

    It’s taken several years to gather data but the FDA now believes that textured breast implants may be more likely to cause ALCL, although it says smooth implants are also linked to an increased risk. The trouble is that there’s no organized effort to put together data from people who have implants and those who have developed ALCL.

    “Many studies have looked to estimate risk and, depending on the source data and country, the global lifetime risk of developing breast-implant-associated ALCL for patients with textured breast implants ranges anywhere from 1 in 3,817 to 1 in 30,000,” the FDA said.

    New data from Australia indicates as many as one in 1,000 people with breast implants may develop ALCL. The FDA said the implants available in Australia are different from those sold in the U.S., and that complicates efforts to figure out the true risks.

    The FDA is holding public hearings on the issue next year to try to find out more about the potential links, and to ask people what should be done about it. So is the French government, and France’s national health authority is in the meantime recommending against the use of textured implants.

    “One of the problems in the United States is … with patients going to different doctors at different times and the doctors aren't necessarily communicating with each other and their medical records aren't communicating with each other,” said Dr. Diana Zuckerman, president of the National Center for Health Research, a nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy organization based in Washington. “There's really no way to know when women with breast implants get any number of health problems, including cancer.”

    Plastic surgeons put in the implants, and may not communicate at all with the oncologists who diagnose and treat ALCL.

    IDENTIFYING RISK FACTORS
    Breast-implant-associated ALCL was first identified in 1997, and it can take about 10 years to develop on average after an implant first goes in. It usually stays in the area right around the implant, WHO researchers reported in 2016 in the journal Blood. But it can break out and spread.

    The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Plastic Surgery Foundation are each making a list of implant patients who develop ALCL. "The research will also focus on identifying potential risk factors and criteria detection and management of this disease," the groups say on a website devoted to the matter.

    There doesn’t seem to be a difference between silicone or saline filling in the implants. There’s some evidence that making them rougher — a design meant to make the implants less likely to move around inside the breast — may raise the risk. Some plastic surgeons prefer the so-called textured version because there’s evidence it reduces the risk of capsular contracture, a common complication that can leave the breast hard and misshapen. In the U.S., textured breast implants make up about 13 percent of the market.

    Researchers are not sure why textured implants would raise the risk of cancer, but there are several theories.

    It’s possible that the texturing creates particles that cause abrasion, leading the body’s immune system to respond and then malfunction. Or perhaps some women are genetically susceptible to ALCL. Another theory is that bacteria grow on the surface of the implant, causing a constant irritation that can lead to lymphoma.
     
  8. I intend to have this for my fg.
     
  9. Although the term “Asian V-Line jaw surgery” originated in South Korea, the actual procedure was invented by our very own Dr. Douglas Ousterhout — one of the world’s pioneers of craniofacial and jaw surgery. This type of jaw surgery is very popular in South Korea and throughout Asia, however, it is important to note that it is not restricted to any particular ethnic group.
    Dr Ousterhout is semi-retired but he still works with his protege, Deschamps.
    Anyway talking about surgery in the US is a moot point as 99.93% of the girls here are always worrying about costs. If you have to ask the price then your budget probably won't afford surgery in the US.
     
  10. More cases of an unusual cancer linked to breast implants have been reported to the Food and Drug Administration, the agency said on Wednesday, 21 March 2018.

    The case count rose in the past year, to 414 cases from 359, the agency said in an update on its website. The number of deaths it has recorded, nine, has not changed from one year ago; a professional society of plastic surgeons is now reporting 16 related deaths.

    The F.D.A.’s figures include cases from the United States and other countries. The agency began publicly reporting on the problem in 2011, and some of the apparent rise in cases may be due to increased awareness and diagnosis.

    The disease is not breast cancer, but is a malignancy of the immune system called breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. When detected early, it can usually be cured by surgery alone, by removing the implant and the capsule of scar tissue that forms around it. But some women have needed more extensive treatment, with chemotherapy and radiation, and the disease can be fatal.
    A major symptom is swelling around the implant, which has occurred from two to 28 years after the surgery, with a median of eight years. In women with no symptoms, there is no reason to remove implants or even to screen for the disease, the F.D.A. said.

    The lymphoma is more likely to occur in women with implants that have a textured coating, as opposed to a smooth cover, the agency said.
     
  11. Laura passed away in the last couple of hours! RIP
     
  12. This is different. It is not just fg. If you read it and look at the photos the stem cells 'grew' her breast back where they cut away the cancer. Fat grafting doesn't do that!
     
  13. And you know what? I have seen a lot of b&a of women with their implants removed (procedure is called explant) and they look fine. You can instruct the surgeon to give you a mini LIFT if he thinks you need it while he is at it to ensure you have perky teenager's breast. As you get older big breast can look matronly especially if you go up to DD.

    I know I keep talking about Kao but I have to show this. He says his first love was to reconstruct breast post mastectomy and it is still his passion. He's also a master of fat grafting with stem cells.

    Breast Cancer Reconstruction After Partial Mastectomy and Radiation: This 40 yo woman underwent 6 lumpectomies to get clear margins, followed by radiation therapy. She was left with a very large and deep partial mastectomy area. Breast implants do not work well in an irradiated breast, also implants are not made to reconstruct a partial breast defect. Tummy flap or back flap would be too invasive for use for reconstruction of a partial defect. We performed serial (4x) stem cell fat grafts to the lateral pole of the left breast. The reconstructed breast look and feels soft like a normal breast. The post-radiation fibrosis of the skin, which was once thought of as a permanent and devastating effect of radiation, is completely reversed! We just used her own fat stem cells to regrow a new breast

  14. A bit late but rather than start a new thread, I thought it appropriate to post this b&a here from VIP. What an amazing transformation. I think she looks a bit like Valory Pierce here. Dr Lee is the king of rib implant. Untitled.jpg
     
  15. Fillers are temporary and costly over time. However if you feel this is good enough for you, go for it. I have seen some excellent work but I have to say it's best on ppl with a bump on their nose that sort of thing. The fillers are usually done to correct an imperfection on a European nose. As for building height on an Asian nose, hmmm not so outstanding and certainly it cannot give you a slimmer elegant tip.

    Yes I posted this concern months ago someone in PF shot me down saying it’s rare. Well Aust has had 2 deaths and has a small population. NZ an even smaller country also had 2. I bet you would hate to be one of the two! Several in UK.
    Thank God I didn’t have funds to get textured implants (which I would’ve as they are touted to prevent encapsulation). Even if there’s no family history of lymphoma you can get it off the textured implants.
    Individuals with breast implants have a risk of developing breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or BIA-ALCL. BIA-ALCL is not breast cancer—it is a type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cancer of the immune system). In most cases, BIA-ALCL is found in the scar tissue and fluid near the implant, but in some cases, it can spread throughout the body. Precise risks are difficult to determine due to lack of information about how many patients have received breast implants in the US and worldwide.

    Background
    In 2011, the FDA identified a possible association between breast implants and the development of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL).

    At that time, the FDA knew of so few cases of ALCL that it was not possible to determine what factors increased a patient’s risk. In a report summarizing the Agency's findings, we emphasized the need to gather additional information to better characterize ALCL in individuals (cis- and trans-gender women and men) with breast implants.

    Over time, we have strengthened our understanding of this condition. In 2016, the World Health Organization[​IMG]designated breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) as a T-cell lymphoma that can develop following breast implants. The exact number of cases remains difficult to determine due to significant limitations in world-wide reporting and lack of global breast implant sales data. At this time, most data suggest that BIA-ALCL occurs more frequently following implantation of breast implants with textured surfaces rather than those with smooth surfaces.
