2666060. Garnett. I had breast augmentation surgery and in October of 2018. And I was I had last week so I was a small. I would say you're an average size speed and I wanted to go bigger. I have the surgery they went under under my arms for the surgery. And IU was brought to. I would say a good sized. After my surgery during recovery I have not a lot of leakage from the left side from the incision -- is. A lot of more than normally -- I was coming out them central a lot of yellow liquid and send posh switched really quite apart that would be normal from healing but not as much as there was CN. And within a couple weeks of the surgery by left breast begin. To become very hard times and very tender. So when I went back to the doctor. They said -- to Roma. So.

So love it if our listeners to stroman is paying collection of fluid. Usually it's yellow comes straw colored. That can accumulate in surgical and that's what happened here.

Right okay and the left breast is actually. Significantly larger than the right -- yeah so they inserted it terrain that I wore fur about a week. And it did make a difference as far as size but then the hardness of the breast was worse than it was before Oakland. It eventually after a few months the capsule broke. -- that it hard and around the implant. Broke it which was grating and will play itself or bruise its and it is more of an accident then I was actually pushed out of the way of something and I think just the pressure sure put broken itself. Which to me was great because they went back to a normal size and and I would say within a week or two my left breast which he had no problems. Begin. Becoming very tender and very hard. And that got. To his state ever sense and has actually gotten worse and it's sore. And there's a lot of numbness between the incision and the brass student. And there's also. Something on the left side of the breast I think because it's. So hard in the -- so close so much that something's actually sticking out on the.

Does that sound good for. No. And what is our what is election you know what is how does this affect your life.

comfortable it's very -- more self conscious now that I was before the implant. It's. Alienated the best for me describe my left breast now is that it's like a baseball and the other one has fallen and looks normal. But once it tires so if I wear certain things or. With my arms a certain way one is up near near the top of my Chastain the other one is down. Current I have to adjust bras and how I wear bras I can wear certain charts. I won't wear a bathing -- is I don't wanna -- looking like that incident -- Sound. -- everytime you get -- it's the first thing you see in every time -- to -- clothing to make them even you know because. Because of the capsule being so closed and the implant right on this larger than the other.

He's in getting worse better things fans. It's about the same there's Sunday's that they -- the soreness has -- right depending on you know how I sleeper how I move.

And you think these are sailing above the muscles that would -- yes thanked okay. Do you want to have us take a quick look and -- to consider -- to work we're dealing with. She's just gonna stand up percent to over here and it's gonna feel also that which if one's really much harder than -- Com. So that's that's a difficult time attitude of the sounds like a difficult. Problem for her and obviously affects your life. In a very difficult I. The guys in the -- turn your head the other way please don't don't look come as a tones and doesn't. Com does not this is not uncommon scenario is to. Oftentimes when infants are placed above the muscle until less desirable use caution about that a few weeks ago when I was here the last time you he was saying the difference between above. And below yes I mean I would say he ready for ridiculous toy initially -- I called them to.

I know they don't want some an -- on the side that was the kind and I feel that and to us residents. Okay thank you. So we just examined Colleen and you know to my exam calling both of these breasts are very hard he neither -- is normal. Because so I mean when you feel impressed with an implant in it. He should be able to tell this and impressed.

Now how one goes this hearing and.

And years and judicious in June 08 October 08 facility little over a year -- here in a month and human how monsoon denounced. 1516 month mum and they got hard pretty much right away from what he described yes this is death com. So you know my first feel a -- and I -- I looked at there was these are not symmetric once -- low. But both -- kind of hard now finally in a few thought the left when felt normal. Compared to the hardness from the first time I got Sarah Latvia to me that's normal okay okay. So it's relative was what -- now who are 6172666066172666662226. And 50% to 666 issues that's almost the same MIS Expedia. You can invite you to call it -- talk about this a particular situation or perhaps your situation. Public -- her breast augmentation story with us and the promise I -- it Collins have both breasts are hard. And I know one is a little bit part of the other but this is not a normal. Mean when you feel they brass to within plaintiffs' appeal of still -- system is investment out and Clinton used improperly should be soft and be able to conform to the squeezing forces that you plan the best and he shouldn't be able to tell viewers search for me hard there a symmetric on her the other and you've on the right side you feel that that sort of area that you're feeling. Is in fact part of the implant. And they are -- and I can tell just by feeling them that that little thing that you're feeling you don't usually -- silicone implants so. This is a problem this is definite problem for you yes and obviously from what you describe this is really affecting your life in a negative way in terms of just pain. Discomfort nothing about the where the kind of clothing you wanna -- feeling self conscious about having to really adjust your your clothing to make it seem peaceable. And identical to describe I think you mention that you didn't that this car was very connections but they just it healed the way that. I was told they would they had the under armed enthusiasm yeah and it under the arm scar would almost like that's stretch mark you know -- that -- The left won his words he uses the one that was really -- In these units in the -- so calm. Calm. He you have a situation that is difficult but certainly fixable and what I would suggest for you with the file. I would take -- both of your implants which are now above the muscle. Do you think this problem was caused because they -- about some muscle do you think he's going back to. Where they were put to begin what that this -- that's I I do I think Tom. If you look at above muscled horses below muscle. I guess they've had this thing in my -- had a pretty much all mine below the muscle. And you know the incidence of of them giving heart is very very very small. Few go above the muscle the instances and getting hard it's really much higher it's called a capsule or contraction here and I think the part of the reason that when you put them under the muscle. Every time you move your arms every time you reach upper pull something and move gives you few -- major muscle. It moves implant. And by moving the Internet doesn't let scar tissue -- around and -- does let me get this part easy one the intent to move you want. Them to be understandable intractable. So. I think for that reason he you know the -- must always move it cajole using your. Above the muscle they don't they just sit there there's nothing moving in the tip your hands and if you're not really get a massage and moving ensure our doctors tell you to do it the chance of getting harder as much higher. So. In your case what I would suggest is taking those implants out. And then creating a brand new pocket below the muscle. A public switched from saline to silicone. Because you're so thin that Europe -- these are even gonna become more palpable more obviously going to be ill will be felt through the -- reason as you age. I would go below must to a silicon implants. Com and I would revise those scars in your arms that would create new scars under the breasts that would be much better for you much better much more well hidden and and you know. Start over but do best should be as soft as a natural prospective. Often people with impressed -- us who have breast that are softer. Really and people without implants. A lot of women had a five resistor changes in their breath they have harnisch -- hardest field to the best prestigious office is hard you know you can become heart. -- kind of stuff so when you President Clinton that's for example like silicon which is really really soft. You know you gonna feel -- oftentimes softly and people who don't have implants so this is clearly on the other end of that scale. On the other and that's spectrum of pardons soft.

I have a question I went to the surgeon. About correcting. It right pressed hard pressed. His suggestion to me was to. Just remove -- on the movie doesn't remove one of them one implant for a couple of months. And then put it back and put a new one in and let the -- he'll put I have to. But I have to go a period of time without implants. -- it sounds bizarre.

It was 61726668661726666. Here -- doctors who are playing well prosecutor invite your calls. I did I did this exact case. On. He would -- Thursday -- camera or step mum. I must admit there's illustrated in this exact same case where a girl had gone to another doctor should put them above the -- on the look like two tennis ball -- her return. Because you know when your sin and a lot of best issue there's nothing to hide or. And a drink the implant he can sort of see the implant cut through the skin and as I said when their by the muscle they'll move it to sort of sit there right. So. This has happened to her and hers were kind of like it's kind of hard and so what we just went into your duty just to listen to -- ones out. Put new ones below the muscle with silicone. He drove bunch of different sizes because the other problem in for Colleen is that because they're above the muscle pristine it's getting really stretched out. You say okay Christians do you really should tell which makes. The other part don't you put him below the muscle the the skin is no longer being -- but the muscles being -- to us a little bit of inherent group associated with that so now we had to scramble and -- go to different kind of imposing -- looks at what a high profile implants return habits to -- wanna take a sort of that loose skin. And do they get returned Doug gray who is a lot of work had a lot of sort of changing in exchange of implants but. No I would do the same time because it it doesn't make sense to have I mean nothing's television to be gained by taking them out. An intrepid making there's a pocket or shrink down just get harder. You know so I think -- you need to start over. Okay you know -- I'm sorry to tell you this it's really the only thing that makes sense for me because I know. That. -- left like this is this gonna get worse.

Right it's like it's alienate the thought of walking around with one implanted and yeah -- the other side firms for awhile and you Arafat can and it's just not pleasant but see the breast that you think is normal is anywhere close.

Iowa considering it and compare it.

Sure well I can't talk about costs on their Patrick but to call my office they can give you a list of of the different fees and stuff but. What party your face.

cheek area. And a little aren't going towards the --

How does the most college. I'm gonna there there are -- you know various there's three major techniques for dealing with one is a chemical peel. Which is a chemical and NASA that the -- skin and helps peel away the dim you know damaged layers of skin stimulus to collagen production and kind of -- think that the skin. Another technique is called -- abrasion not to be confused microbes are brazen but really -- thirty year old them embrace what is like. A little. It's a basically standing off some of the skin using a little diamond -- phrase and a drill. Doesn't sound testament word but from my money. The best technique is -- laser resurfacing. Using some that I called the CO2 laser and it is a you know its its light energy high intensity light energy and it when he hits a skidded -- is the scanned and it kind of you can take the skin down layer -- layer. But the biggest part of it is it -- a little bit of heat injury to the skin and causes a lot of collagen production and it really can sicken and smooth at this and and tightening there as well.

The -- public -- that's procedure.

That's the best -- the only -- that you have to think about that procedures at the skin can stay red for several months at a time. If my you know but it but it really is effective obviously we have makeup in different cover of some components can. But you know of those three procedures that though lasers the most aggressive -- the chemical to be no -- aggressive they all work.

But it's just a matter what you're tolerances are down time in you know. In -- and and and content and money stuff so I -- but that would be my recommendation.

I think -- work. So we asked.

Well you -- it's -- is one of the toughest things to treat because many of these are discussing all the way through the skin it's not a topical probably know. -- some sort of template and this goes offer these are scarcer go all the way through the skin so for that Griese -- an aggressive treatment.

I had just -- very well.

Thank you for the call cuts do lots of the people out there with similar problems yeah he's you don't want to get rid of your -- then yeah. And yet to other shall have the scars that's the problem but but that's with the delays -- budget is literally is usually the best treatment you see a lot of that as well. Yes you know a lot of scars because you know they've they've they've done lots of things they've got lots of places and -- has a good answer for them but. I think was always you get the best treatment so we've been having phones that. And online for I want this is Lauren.

The moon and learn and how -- yeah you had to Brian let's move at brat that eight I'd expect better yeah. Oh yeah. Aaron it but I'm I'm eleven I.

What else that's gets a mention.

I'm not bound man why haven't -- the backup image in there.

Right right in the existing -- that we really love and -- percent of the seats in introductory special we've just got on -- would love it.

This is a good month yes. And next month and having that aren't humid and would you like another that he create at our top.

Well we're just a little less the president only.

Like you know it -- riser on a messiness out you know you may -- being bombarded next week.

Yeah welcome flora thank Jolie give back to where good lord has visiting the president's and we have a common.

You can't do it by Hillary and I ain't.

You're listening to change -- doctor Joseph -- 6172666066172666860. We have a huge US. -- be talking with Colleen. Who. Was the unfortunate recipient of a Abu jobless men out all right he says iTunes police he I mean. Less than perfect augmentation melt plastic. I examined through here on the here and my Howard Stern moment yet and found in fact that both breasts were really quite calm part and malformed. There was a palpable edge of the imprint on the red side her scars on her arms really not a very appropriate -- acceptable. So I recommended for her to. Have a complete overall by that I mean to have filled implants taken out ever scars revised. And have new silicone implants but it's below the muscle. To really have because I think even sue was under the impression that when you have implants in the they feel part. I should know when you have complaints and he shouldn't do with how they should feel it's a soft -- the softer than normal breast and if not this something is wrong.

You know it's interesting I off the air during the commercial break viewers telling Colleen that this is gonna get worse I mean it's not like. They're all -- sudden -- often and fall into place he says you know I'm sorry to tell you you know I'm not going to get better.

On the phone and unfortunately in this business you have to be very brutally honest because if you are even hurt people and -- misleading themselves. He keep having you know what Arnold says we can't sugarcoat things especially if you're trying to better yourself you ready. And there's no chance that these could ever get better on the just looking at me with this look on her face. Now she's. -- are not saying the neighborhood that I know whether or our everyone hopes that but. You know when you get to the point -- the scar tissue is already made the implants hard. The district harder -- just the system is partition works you know. Scar tissue continues over the course of years to continue to Harden and get cross linked and to really get through the fortified so that it doesn't break down and that's kind of procedure that now.

Now with the left breast that to me felt more normal. His is -- sure and I wanna clown. Yes there's a lot of --

But -- and enjoy it when you. Communion grab the -- to the but simply put your finger together at the show to squeeze the best like this. Your your finger should come like an interest shall part you know like he should build a squeeze your -- so that it's. Come passable so that you know it's a really finish -- cup maybe an -- apart. In your case you know I can barely -- the implant may have ref usually -- six inches apart when I he's -- the best so to that's. Kind of a guide or scale in terms of feeling best is how -- possible in our nation billion your fingers to the point where the not quite touching what you know an -- so part. That's what you expect when you feel about and that's the way impression -- in if it's anything less than that it's not a great result. Well I'm glad you came to see deficit to -- season. Idea also hoping to come to the office we can talk in more detail and all. So if you're gonna plan to fix this -- definitely -- go to line four we've got Joan want to talk about breast augmentation John welcome to the show.

I don't think so thank you for taking my college student a quick question for you I had some breast augmentation done very early in -- I was 23. And down now 50000. And I and I -- in ninety. I have them taken out because they are we getting encapsulated. In that outer militant amusement. Now I have. A lot of gloat and might -- that I had no -- scar tissue of you know but because there was -- current are worried that I know 10. The -- yes and I'm worried if that Eric -- left in me and that's gonna cause a problem number one. Now that you would be -- guide issue I thought I thank you -- Would keep growing mum and I'm getting some pull me out and I never had before without those I like the question.

Okay voted present some the old style and Clinton you -- some you know thirty years or so ago. We're very different in the ones and now the ones that you had -- before were often very thin shell they often Blair did a little bit the silicone gel into the pocket. And the bodies sort of met that with a lot of scar tissue by the trees cartridge because there's a lot of inflammation going on on the implants so. I'm not surprised Jim Tesco hard -- surprise you to -- modern day and says don't do that they stand for a long time in the general assist us as well at that our listeners know that. It is are you should -- silicone left behind in your breast.

Yeah I'm at I'm not sure I'm the filming -- one was 201 week.

GM will usually when they do -- they did take quite a bit of effort to take all the issues silicon now flesh -- you rented out but if there is some -- that's inside yeah. He does continue to have a little bit of an inflammatory -- and yes it does continue to cause some scar. Formation around that little silicon nodule. What have you had a mammogram recently.

Yes -- of breast cancer in my family am constantly happening right semantic -- so they know of any.

Okay so -- because if there's silicone breast it would deficit with -- them all right so there's probably. Not that that's there all what you probably Phillies just some of the fibers breast tissue there that you pharmacists -- changes that occur in a woman's breast. That's probably not because it was anything there that was causing it you would definite pick up and Ohio which is very very sensitive for stuff like that.

good so I don't worry.

And I I also think you say that they album of the scar tissue would continue to grow all.

Well only if there's something stimulating at both and silicone removes any of those who will not continue to grow. Okay thank you can't let you don't know exactly for the call.
