Hi, I'm a health editor at AOL Health and I'm working on a story about plastic surgery gone wrong. Have you ever had a bad experience with plastic surgery, such as a nose job, botox or breast implants? For example, did you have trouble breathing after having a nose job? Or, have you had your skin stretched too tight after an eye lift? We want you to share your tale with the community in hopes that others won't encounter similar problems. Help people ask the right questions before surgery.
Okay i am 23 years old 2 kids,married.I want breast implants,i was curious if any surgeon takes tri-care.Its military insurance.Please anyone with information it would help
Yes, I have had a bad experience. Just a prior to FDA approval, I had silicone implants as part of a clinical research trial at Vanderbilt. That was 11/05. I became very sick immediately following the surgery. I had turned 50 and was willing and able to pay the $6,500 required to participate in the study. Following the surgery, I became extremely ill and spent the next 10 months in doctors' offices and in bed. I thought my life was done. I was totally disabled and unable to care for myself and family. After 10 months it suddenly occured to me that the onset of my symptoms coincided with the implant surgery. I had saline implants for 10 years prior so I never made the connection. Nearly all of the health issues disappeared once the silicone implants were removed. Now I know of at least a dozen other women who had the same reaction to silicone implants. It is almost 2 years since the silicone implants were removed and I have worked very hard towards my recovery. There are many women who cannot tolerate the chemicals in silicone implants, many of which are toxic, but the doctors and implant manufacturers do not tell you that because they make more money on the silicone implants vs the saline ones. It is not the silicone that makes you sick. Just google silicone implants and chemicals. Eventually you will discover that there are literally dozens of carcinogens/neurotoxins in silicone implants that are potentially harmful to your health. I could write a book about this experience, and perhaps one day, I will. Today my focus is just getting well-
Katherine. The consumer reviews posted on realself.com about cosmetic surgery and treatment experiences certainly include tales of bad outcomes.

I had the cosmetic surgery done to get rid of a so called turkey neck, also partial facelift. This was done in the doctors office, and afterwards he was in such a hurry to get me out he didn't put me in the recovery room, he just rushed me right out the door. I plainly told him what I wanted, that I did not want the saggy skin around the neck, he said every thing would be just like I want. He took my money, stuck it in his pocket sucked some fat out and that was it. Every thing lokks the same. There is no difference in the way it looks. I thought about suing, but they always cover their selves by making you sign theeose papers. So please make sure you double check their work. I got taken for 5,000.
Be happy! Life is to short!

Well , I am a firm believer that plastic surgery is beneficial in cases of deformity,accidents or even to make yourself feel better.But you must do research and don't just pick a doctor from the yellow pages.Any operation can go wrong.It is a risk you take.I am listen about Dallas Plastic Surgery to long time.This is very best for surgery.Here you will discover the latest information about modern plastic surgery services (liposuction, non-ablative wrinkle reduction with the laser system, much more).
