I read your post about replacing implants.
Mine are 20 years old (!) I am relatively new to Vegas and am looking for a good PS referral.
Could you answer some questions on docs
here in Vegas? I would feel better getting to talk to someone who has some knowledge of this town.
Thanks.

20 years...see, I was trying to explain that in the other post, that they DO last 10-20 years on average! HAHA!
I can refer you to a FABULOUS surgeon here in Vegas! I used Dr. Weiland at the Weiland Group in Summerlin, he's amazing! I referred two girls to him from AZ and CA and they both used him and loved him. My best friend from DC is coming out next year to use him for some other work. He is GREAT! Call and schedule a free consultation and let me know what you think of him! :)

Vegas Girl,
Thanks for the info. The funny part is that I just went to see Dr.Weiland last week. He was very nice and answered all my questions. After my exam he said that he didn't think that I needed to replace my implants. As long as I have had no trouble with them I should be OK.
Also, his price was the best, which could be a bonus when the time comes. I saw a few other doc last week and I was getting prices of $8,000 -$10,000. Weiland's price was $5,000. (all silicone prices)
So I just think I am going to take a wait and see
approach.

Really? From what I saw most of the PS's in Vegas charged pretty much the same. That's weird. Glad you saw him and liked him, though. I would take his advice, if they are still good, then why go through another surgery? Best of luck and keep me posted! :)

maureen2,
I am glad I decided to read your post. So the doctor doesn't think you need to replace them and it has been 20 years? That is fantastic! Do your implants still look and feel the same? Have they reduced in size at all? That really is some wonderful news. Bless You

Hi Tifanie,
My implants feel as soft as they did the first year. I have had no problems with them in 20 years. I keep reading other posts about implants going "bad" in just 5-10 years so either I got lucky or the silicone ones are more durable. Guess I'll cruise a few more years with these.

Congrats on getting them to last over 20 years!! You must take good care of them and do your massages every day. HAHA! I hope mine last that long! :)
