Thank you Rhiannon & Buffie,

Dr. Baeke sounds like a great surgeon.  And based on both of your testimonials' and pics he obviously knows what he is doing with large implants.  Something most surgeons don't care to do or even discuss.  You both look great!  I am scheduled to have surgery in late May with another surgeon, Dr. Rey.  If I decide to go even bigger later I will definitely travel to Kansas to see Dr. Baeke.  Thank you again for your testimonials about Dr. Baeke.

[Rhiannon]

No need to get back to the drawing board...we have supplied you with enough information and testimony to at least contact Dr. Baeke for a consultation.
I wish I had known about him before I subjected Myself to so many other non-talented surgeons. Don't fool yourself. It is not our bodies that create the problems it is our choice of surgeons. It is not even the up-sizing that causes issues, unlike what so many ill-equipped surgeons will tell you after they mess you up. Oh yes, how many of these unskilled surgeons blamed My body for things that were clearly not My fault. It took Me years to get back in the game. Ask around. So many other models have the same story. Bottom line here is I am offering you information about an incredible surgeon. Obviously what you do with it is up to you. Just remember the choices you make today can deeply effect you later...
Sincerely,
Rhiannon

[Rhiannon]

I look forward to your e-mail. The photoshoot party is a great situation which will provide you with 1000's upon 1000's of pix for your Website as well as the numerous contacts you will make.
Dr. Baeke himself had touched up My lips for Me. I have had previous injections prior to meeting Dr. Baeke but felt a touch up never hurts. I love your lips. The shape is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you for your kind thoughts regarding CLEAVAGE. We take alot of pride in our work. I am glad you mentioned Keisha because Dr. Baeke is responsible for her extraordinary enhancement. I believe she will be the biggest bust girl ever in the history of this industry.
I am posting the preview pic of Keisha that Anton shot of her for our mags...Just in case someone may have missed it that would like to see another sample of Dr. Baeke's incredible skills...
XOX,
Rhiannon

Thank You again for the information Rhiannon.  I left my phone number on Your voice mail this evening.  Please give me a call any time.  The photoshoot party sounds like an awesome opportunity and I am really excited to talk with You about it.  

Not only did Dr. Baeke do a fantastic job on Your breasts, he out-did himself on Your lips!  I'm so flattered that You think mine are cute, giggles!!!  Coming from You, ~blush~ ... Ohkay, I'll stop now.    

It is actually Keisha's website that led me to Dr. Baeke.  After seeing her amazing assets, I thought to myself, why bother talking to any other surgeon.  

Anton's photo of Keisha is AWESOME!  Did You do her make up?  She's lovely and in that picture, she's lovely on 11!  I've been a professional make up artist for over 10 years and I know great work when I see it.  Kudos!

Talk to You soon, Rhiannon!  I'm really looking forward to meeting You.

Many Hugs,
~Buffie

I know the feeling, MacK.  I'd hoped to find a surgeon in the Dallas area, but so far nothing as surfaced yet.  (We're planning to take a trip back to a bar & grill we've been to a couple times where there's this knockout bartender with *very* sizable implants.  Nothing in the same stratosphere as Rhiannon or Buffie but still quite significant.

Now for the irony:  I used to live in Overland Park (about 8 miles north of his office, near 91st & Metcalf).  But this was before I even knew about Dr. Baeke's existence.

We've got good friends in the area, so we have every excuse to drop by.    Of course, it would make better sense for us to stay in a nearby hotel if/when (looking more like 'when' and less like 'if') my wife ends up with Dr. Baeke, for all the obvious reasons.  I guess the only 'gotcha' with travelling such a distance is that post-op expandables may not be an option, as I can't imagine any other surgeon (local to us here in Dallas) would take on the periodic post-op fills, given that they're not likely to feel comfy managing some other surgeon's work post-operatively.  (Feel free to correct me if you know otherwise.)

Hmm... thinking out loud here... maybe an initial surgery with post-op expandables, and instead of going back every month, perhaps going back every few months and playing catch-up with the fills.  *shrug*

Tangent alert:  For you folks in the Overland Park area, one of my friends is a licensed massage therapist, specializing in shiatsu, sotai, moxy, acupuncture, cupping, etc.  Drop me a note privately if you'd like his contact info.

Very informative discussion, btw.  Many thanks to all!

Dragonfly:
You've put your finger right on the vulnerability in the plan.  How does my wife get the monthly fillups that gradually take her beyond the initial 450-550 to 800 -- and beyond.  
Hmmm.  There's the rud!
--MacK

Just a word of caution about the fill ups.  I know of two girls who tried to do their own fills after being shown how by their doc.  They BOTH ended up with an infected implant.  If it is possible to go the surgeon's office. If you purchase the airfare atleast two weeks in advance it will be cheaper than additional surgery and the emotional toll on you and your wife would be less that having to get the implant taken out because of it getting infected.  Maybe the doc's office will include the fills in the price and you just have to get yourselves there.  Just a thought, good luck.  I will let everyone know how my appointment goes with Dr. Baeke.  It is about a week and a half.

[tubesman]

You might ask if she can get more than 100 cc blowup per session. That would get you to the 1500 cc point in fewer trips. It would depend on the elasticity of her skin and the damage that might happen to her sutures. But it might cause strech marks in her skin.

[MasterDragonfly]

Hi 34G,

While I would agree that if one has deep pockets and the freedom to take time off work (repeatedly) that it would be best to let the surgeon handle all the post-op fills, you've actually voiced an option I'd thought of but didn't think any surgeon would consider doing, ie, let the patient help herself.

So, in the case of your friends, which type of post-op expandable were they using?  If the type with the fill-tube left in place (typically through the armpit), then I can't see any reason why your friends would have had the infection (at least as relating to the post-op fills), unless they pumped up too quickly (eg, 100cc per day or per week, instead of per month).  If they were using the type of implant where there's a magnetic ring embedded in the implant to help locate the fill port and thus the fills require breaking the skin each time with a hypodermic, then I can see the greater risk for infection quite easily.

I would think that so long as we watch the sutures like a hawk and watch for other telltale signs of infection (and even visit a local surgeon just to have him say, "Looks good, no infection") then I'd think my wife would be golden if we were to do the post-op fills ourselves (assuming the fill tube were already readily available, ie, the armpits).

Thanks again for the tip.  I just thought that surgeons would be loathe to even consider this.

MasterDragonfly:  
Patient self-injection.
This is where we need Melonie's expert input.  
A couple of thoughts from a layperson (me.)
1. My impression is that with an axillary injection port, the port is subcutaneous.  Meaning that every injection will penetrate the skin.  
2. Every needle stick is a potential source of infection.  I just realized that that cavalier alcohol swab in the doctor's office is not as cavalier as I thought.  Prep for the injection is probably very important.  
3. An implant (and the injection tube, etc.) is a foreign body and automatically a source of sensitivity to the body.  

But we do need Melonie to weigh in on this.

34G, do let us know how the consult goes! I am glad this information about Dr. Baeke is available for any girls who might be looking for a doctor experienced in the art of larger than normal implants.

[Rhiannon]

Yes, I returned your call and I know you then returned Mine...I promise to reach you tonight.
Actually Porn Star EXOTICA did Keisha's make-up application for the shoot. She is as fantastic a make-up artist as she is an Entertainer...
I am glad you told Me you do make-up because while here at the party I am sure many girls could use your assistance!!!
I would like to discuss all with you...
XOX,
Rhiannon

[Rhiannon]

Dr. Baeke to the rescue once again...A big bust friend of Mine decided to travel out of the states because she and I had not spoken in awhile for Me to inform her about Dr. Baeke. She only knew of a few surgeons here that still attempt the larger sizes UNSUCCESSFULLY, I might add. She was very discouraged by these US surgeons and their reputations so opted for surgery in Europe. What a disaster. She will now be seeing Dr. Baeke tomorrow for a "REAL" procedure. He is truly a miracle worker because she was butchered. How wonderful  and compassionate of Dr. Baeke to take on this case after another botch job gone arry from some talentless fool who calls himself Dr.
Girls choose your surgeon with extreme caution...
Sincerely,
Rhiannon

Hi MacK,

Melonie would definitely have good input.  I'm certain ninjrk would have very good input as well.  Possibly others, too.

My lay-responses to yours :

1)  Ah yes.  I believe you're right there.  I don't know what the hell I was thinking, but I was pretty tired when I posted last time.  So yes, the injections will penetrate the skin.  Same can be said for insulin users as well, though.

2)  Agreed, every needle stick carries a risk of infection.  I don't think I'd stop at just an alcohol swab, though.  Being intimately familiar with body pierces, I would definitely opt for generous swabs of Betadine instead.  Oh, and we'll use sterile disposable latex gloves as well.

3)  Yes, an implant and fill tube are foreign bodies, but arguably the most sensitive to the body during the healing phases.  I'm definitely not a health expert, but my understanding is that the risk drops off asymptotically over time.  So if you can make it to 8 weeks with no adverse infectious reaction, you're probably in the clear.

I do wonder though, if the friends of 34G's were perhaps a little overenthusiastic about filling, and maybe within the first few weeks decided to kick it up a notch (or two or three).    I really don't know, but if you ponder that there's a foreign body, elevated white blood cell count during the healing process, and perhaps somewhat fresh sutures, one's overzealousness on topping up might possibly bring on a rather unfortunate infection.

On the flip side, there are occasionally women who don't even get post-op expandables, but end up with post-op infections.  So maybe it was just the luck of the draw.

At any rate, unless we win the lottery, I still can't see taking off lots and lots of time from work to jet-set between here and Kansas City.  This could be much ado about nothing, as Dr Baeke might already have a solution in hand for patients who want to fly in and return home soon afterwards.

[MacK]

MasterDragonfly:  

My lay-response to your lay-response to my lay-response is:

     I don't disagree with anything you've said.  

Over to you Chet. Er, I mean Melonie.
