Tanning After Breast Augmentation Any Advice on How long to wait?
I had a breast augmetntation about eight weeks ago… Mentor 500cc’s over…. my incision is on my nipple… does any one know how long I should wait to tan??? Will the uv rays make my implant defective?
The uv rays will not make your implants defective. At 8 weeks it should be ok for you to tan, but what you need to worry about is your incisions. I would cover them. The incisions will be super sensitive for quite awhile. Try some gauze pads to cover, cut them round, a little bigger than your nipple.
Breast implants?
I’m 21 years old and thinking more and more on the idea of getting breast implants. Can anybody tell me their experience, what i can expect from the doctors appointments through the recovery. I’m thinking that im going to get an insertion through the armpit which seems less scary. Also i read a while back that saline implants are safer, just in case if anything bursts. Please no negative comments.
Be certain you get a board certified plastic surgeon and do some research on him/her. Go on several different consultations with different physicians until you find one you feel comfortable with. Don’t get your heart set on a certain insertion method because every surgeon has his/her own personal preferences, and there are various factors to consider with each different method. Ask for phone numbers of patients that would be willing to speak with you concerning their experience in general and with the physician and his/her office staff before, during and after surgery. It’s a big decision and you should treat it as such – you’ll know when you’ve found the right doctor. Best of luck!

Once you’ve decided that plastic surgery is what you want, it’s important to feel comfortable with your surgeon. Here are some tips for what to look for when consulting your doctor.
1. Decide what you want from your Boca Raton plastic surgeon. Make sure that your expectations are realistic, and that you’re not doing this to change your life drastically, but to simply feel better about yourself.
2. Ask your Boca Raton plastic surgeon about his qualifications. Ask him where he went to undergrad, medical school and where he did his residency. Many plastic surgeons undergo a residency of 3 years for general surgery and then 2 additional years for their specialty in plastic surgery. Most cosmetic surgeons are certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery. If you want to know about your doctor’s history, feel free to contract the Board of Plastic Surgery.
3. Ask how long your Boca Raton plastic surgeon has been performing this procedure. Try to gain an understanding of his skill in this specific operation and whether or not this kind of procedure is his specialty or not.
4. Ask to see before and after photos. Examine the differences and inquire as to how much time passed between the photographs. If you see an after picture taken after six months, you won’t have a good idea of the immediate aesthetic effects you will experience.
5. Ask to speak to other patients who have undergone breast implants Florida. This can help to assuage your fears and build your confidence in your desired results. They can give you an idea of what to expect and tell you about their own experiences of recovery.
6. Inquire as to where the surgery will take place. If it is a hospital, you may have an overnight stay, but if it is an ambulatory facility, you might need a friend or family member there for both moral and physical support. It’s also a good idea to see if the facility is licensed by the state.
7. Ask who will be performing the surgery and who will be involved. It is nice to meet these people beforehand so that you can feel comfortable with them. Moreover, once the surgery is over that doesn’t mean that you won’t see any more doctors. It’s best to deal with the same doctors the entire time rather than to work with different ones before, during, and after your operation.
8. If financial matters are a concern, bring long term financing up beforehand. Some doctors may not offer this option and as a result, you can find others who do offer such a plan.
If you feel confident and sure that you want to go ahead with the procedure, then by all means, do! This will help you feel better in your skin, and will allow you to be the person you desire to be.

Top Plastic Surgeon Explains Silicon Breast Implants
The 22-year history of breast implant litigation provides us with a most important lesson. Specifically, scientific study must preceed commerce and marketing.
Even if the scientific data is provided “after the fact”, it does not stop a legal disaster from unfolding.
The lack of this data in the 1990s led to a 14-year ban on silicone gel implants, billions spent in two class action suits, over 20,000 individual lawsuits, and the temporary collapse of an entire industry. The following attempts to summarize this story:
1977:
A Houston attorney won the first breast implant lawsuit for a Cleveland woman who claimed her implants had caused pain and suffering. She received a $170,000 settlement from Dow Corning and the case received little publicity.
1980s:
Raph Nader’s Public Citizen Research Group sent out warnings that Silicone Breast Implants cause cancer.
1984:
A California attorney won a case for Maria Stern who claimed that her autoimmune disease was caused by her breast implants. Evidence was introduced from Dow Corning’s own internal documents that they had been aware of high rupture rates and gel bleed with the 2nd generation implants. “Expert witnesses” theorized the silicone–immune link for the first time. The San Francisco court awarded $211,000 in compensatory damages and $1.5 million in punitive damages.
1990:
A television program, “Face to Face with Connie Chung” aired, discussing the dangers of silicone gel filled breast implants. Public concern mounted, and a Congressional hearing was held on the safety of breast implants.
July, 1991
:
Dow Corning released 329 studies to the FDA. In a separate lawsuit against Baxter/Heyer-Schulte, an Alabama court awarded a $5.4 million settlement to Brenda Toole, who showed only preliminary symptoms of systemic autoimmune disease, but had silicone in her lymph nodes. “Expert witnesses” stated that she was thus at increased risk of developing autoimmune disease.
December, 1991:
Attorney Dan Bolton, who won the case for Maria Stern, won another case for Mariann Hopkins who claimed that her mixed connective tissue disease was linked to her Ruptured Silicone Breast Implants.
February, 1992:
A class action lawsuit was filed in Cincinnati by Stan Chesley. The hope was to compensate women at a faster rate than filing individual lawsuits. The FDA Panel recommended that the further use of Silicone Implants be limited for reconstruction only. The panel also concluded that no causal link has yet been established between autoimmune disease and silicone breast implants.
March, 1992:
Dow Corning, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Bioplasty all left the breast implant business. Dow Corning set up a fund for further research into the safety of breast implants.
April, 1992:
The FDA placed a ban on the use of silicone breast implants outside of an FDA-approved research study. The only women allowed to receive implants were those undergoing breast reconstruction. All of the implant recipients must become part of a scientific protocol.
March, 1994:
A class action lawsuit was finalized by the manufacturers, including Dow Corning, Baxter, Bristol-Meyers Squibb/MEC, and 3M. At $3.4 billion, it was then the largest class action lawsuit in history. Women would be allowed to drop out of the settlement if they choose. Companies could also “opt out” if too few women register claims.
June, 1994:
Mayo Clinic epidemiologists published a report in the New England Journal of Medicine which finds no increased risk of connective tissue disease in women with silicone breast implants.
1995:
The American College of Rheumatology issued a statement that the evidence is “compelling” that implants do not cause systemic disease.
May, 1995:
Dow Corning filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, with over 20,000 individual lawsuits pending. Over 410,000 have filed claims in the class action settlement. The bankruptcy essentially halted all litigation.
November, 1995:
A new global settlement was developed without Dow Corning.
December, 1995:
More than 20 scientific studies and abstracts have been published showing no causal relationship between silicone implants and a variety of auto-immune diseases.
September, 1996:
The California Court of Appeals upheld a decision dismissing Dow Corning from 1,800 lawsuits.
December, 1996:
An Oregon Federal Judge ruled that plaintiff’s lawyers cannot present evidence that silicone implants caused disease because it is scientifically invalid. Seventy claims were dismissed.
January, 1997:
The American Academy of Neurology reviewed existing studies and reported that there is no link between silicone breast implants and neurological disease.
March, 1997:
A Michigan Judge ruled that Dow Corning is not liable for hundreds of women in the state.
September, 1997:
The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published a review of scores of medical studies that concludes breast implants do not cause breast cancer. The researchers described the evidence for linking implants to any other disease as “borderline.”
April, 1998:
Two large scientific studies failed to show that silicone implants are linked to neurological disease.
December, 1998
: After two years and $800,000, a panel of four independent experts appointed by Judge Sam C. Pointer, overseer of implant lawsuits in the Federal courts, concluded that scientific evidence so far has failed to show that silicone breast implants cause disease.
June, 1999:
The Institute of Medicine released a 400-page report prepared by an independent committee of 13 scientists. They concluded that although silicone breast implants may be responsible for localized problems such as hardening or scarring of breast tissue, implants do not cause any major diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. The Institute of Medicine is part of the National Academy of Sciences, the nation’s most prestigious scientific organization. Congress had asked the Institute to set up the committee.
August, 2004:
August of 2004 was the deadline for registering for the re-negotiated global settlement with Dow Corning, which they established after coming out of chapter 13 bankruptcy. By this time, most all individual lawsuits against Dow Corning had been thrown out or dropped. The breast implant litigation era ended with little media fanfare.
November, 2006:
The FDA lifted the ban on silicone gel filled implants, 14½ years later. By now, silicone implants sold are “4th generation” implants which are much improved over the “2nd generation” implants with the thin walls and high “gel bleed” that led to all the media attention. The further improved “5th generation” implants are still not FDA approved, but are available in other countries.
