I'm looking for people living in different countries that have had any experience with airport metal detectors and metal implants. I have 2 rods in my back and would like to know what to expect if I decide to travel in the future. Some websites claim that you don't need a card/letter - just need to show them your scar (pretty obvious in my case). I thought all you needed was a letter from your GP stating that you have had a surgical procedure and where the implants are located. But would this be generally recognised in different countries? The last thing I want is to be hauled in for a cavity search lol.
Surgical implants and airport metal detectors?
My husband has had both knees replaced. He travels constantly, and just submits to a search over his clothing by an officer each and every time he goes through security. A male officer is called for men, and a female officer is called for women.
He doesn't even bother with a card or letter because they still need to search you. Anything that the metal detector finds must be searched, so if you hear beeping when you're going through the metal detector, the security officers need to find out why it's beeping. It doesn't take very long, and at least they are trying to keep weapons (and the bad guys) off the plane.
Reply:My partner has metal plates and screws in his hand and it was not detected when he whent through airport security.
Reply:I have total knee replacements...and they just use the hand wand when I tell them...and I can roll up my pant legs if needed to show them have no weapons and i do have the scars.

What kinds of operations have used brain implants?
I recently heard a report on "Outlook" (British Radio Program) about a woman who had a disease called "dystopia" (I think) that was alleviated to a large degree by having electrical implants put into her brain. What other diseases have been treated this way and what others might be (are they researching others)? Is there any reason to believe depression or schizophrenia could be affected by electrical stimuli? In a parallel question, has anyone read The Terminal Man and was that based on anything real (electrical implants for epilepsy)?
What kinds of operations have used brain implants?
I don't know about the Parkinson's disease (may be true), but implants (some called "cerebral pacemakers") in the brain are used for disease that pertain to dysfunctions of electrical firing in specific parts of the brain. For example, someone with epilepsy is someone who suffers greatly from debilitating seizures. Electrodes placed in the corpus callosum or hypothalamus (two different areas that cause seizures) of the brain can regulate the 'misfires' that cause the seizures. Another example is tourette's. New technology has allowed doctors to place two separate electrodes in different areas of the basal ganglia (are of the brain believed to be behind tourette's) that calm the signals that cause the misguided signals behind the symptoms of tourette's, by, again regulating "misfires" accross this vital are of the brain.
Reply:I support "Mechanical_P" for his answer since patients with parkinsons have a neuralogical imbalance which offsets rapid signals to the motor nurons there is an implant in the brain which releaves the signals and there is much seen difference in the patient.
I'm only farmiliar with parkinsons

Reply:I saw a report on a news chanel last night (cant remember which one) that stated doctors had implanted electrical stimuli into the brain of a patient who had Parkinsons and it completly offset the electrical imbalance. I have also heard of studies that involved implanting electrodes in the brains of patients with epilepsy.

How much do breast implants cost?
I'm curious to know what the average cost of breast implants are. Please don't say that I should not get the surgery... as I am seriously thinking about getting it... I'm an A cup, and it's asymmetrical, so I think just about any girl in my shoes would get it.
How much do breast implants cost?
I have a friend who had a tummy tuck and breast implants done after she knew she and her husband were done having kids. The boob job was $6,000 and the tummy tuck was another 5,000 and she said it was the best thing she ever had done to her body
Reply:Not a good idea as they have side effects. Mild asymmetry is natural. Eat good balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, fruit, nuts, milk and milk products, do yoga, gentle body massage with a natural oil and see the results for your self and also be in touch with your doctor,
Reply:mine where 5,000 and i went from a 34 6 to a 34dd and i love them i get more attention and men love them... my dr did a great job alot of people think they are real... and they went tru my belly button so i dont have any scars..
Reply:I'm guessing between 5000-10000
I know a nose job is around 3000-5000
So I'm pretty sure its around that.
Watch Dr.90210 lol he's a surgeon. its on E!

How do i know if my saline implants are the cause of my RA?
I first had saline implants in Aug. 2004 I was fine till maybe October 2007. Had slight jaw stiffness and some foot pain.
I whent in February of 2008 for larger saline implant. and three week later my RA has gotton out of control, I have it all over and I don't know if it is linked to my impants.
How do i know if my saline implants are the cause of my RA?
If the saline has leaked in any way it could very well be playing a part in your RA.
The best thing you can do for yourself is immediately get a Doctor's appointment and have them test you for RA and also check your implants for any leaking.
Good luck, but go see a doctor right away!

My husband is forcing our daughter to get breast implants. What do I do?
My husband is making our 15 year-old daughter get breast implants. He says it is for her benefit but he insists on choosing the size and doctor. My daughter is confused but my husband keeps buying her gifts to soften her up. Should I let this go ahead or do I put my foot down on this?
My husband is forcing our daughter to get breast implants. What do I do?
No doctor in his right mind will do that to a 15 year old because they are not done growing yet. If a doctor will do that to a 15 year old, then you found yourself a bad doctor, and alot of things can go wrong. I find that a little weird that your husband, her father, wants her to have bigger boobs. While most parents would be happy with a normal cup for that age. Your daugthers health can be at risk if you let him do this.
Reply:Shes not through growing yet and why in the world does he care about her breast size? This seems very bizarre.
She doesn't want them and shes the one that has to go through surgery and the rest of her life with breast implants.
There should be no question at all as to the answer to this one.
No!
Does he have some kind of weird sexual fantasy about his own daughter. Strange, strange.
I also think you will be letting your daughter down if you let him make her. Protect her!
Reply:Get off the computer, call a divorce lawyer, pack up some stuff, grab your daughter out of school and leave. No self-respecting father would ever force his daughter to get breast implants. That is just sick and demented. Get you and your daughter away from the maniac you married as quickly as possible.
Reply:Put your foot down!! This is obserd, your daughter is 15 years old and not even finished growing naturally yet! Why would your husband care that much about her breast size, to force her to get implants?!?!
Reply:Oh man that sucks...My first thought would be to check your Husbands Bsckground and make sure he is not a Registered Sex Offender. Thats Creepy as Hell.
Reply:Hell no! don't let it happen. Your hubby should be shot for doing anything like that. First of all, they're not his breasts. Second, why does he feel that they are too small. that's a little creepy to me. Third, your daughter needs to accept who she is. Bigger breasts don't help in getting an honorable man, because an honorable doesn't feel that looks are as important as the person.
Reply:slap him...she is entirely too young to be getting implants atleast wait until she is an adult were she can decide if she still want to have them after she has her kids...if she want any!!!
Reply:Bullsh!t. No doctor would do this a 15 year old under any circumstances, or to anyone of any age against her will.
Reply:I hope this is a joke.
If it's not, you need to stand up to him. No one should be "made" to get implants. 15 is too young anyway, and any doctor who would give them to someone that young must not have any morals.
Why does your husband care about your daughters size anyway..that's kinda creepy and I'd wonder if he's a pedifile or something.
Reply:Please tell me this is your idea of a joke. If not, your husband is sick, needs help and needs to stay the hell away from your daughter. Any doctor that would agree to perform this procedure on a 15 y.o. needs to have his medical license yanked.
Reply:First of all... with your other questions I am just wondering... are you a man or woman?? And when did you finally get the baby your homo boyfriend didn't know you wanted???
Reply:You should ask your husband what he is getting out of this..and then ask yourself what signs about child molestation are you missing!!!
Reply:You husband needs to be checked real good, if he actually loved and cared for his daughter he would be trying to talk her out of it, at least at this age. If he is concerned (but I am now convinced he is disturbed) about his daughter being too small, then she could be a late bloomer, she is young. But either way, there is something disturbing about your husband, but only you would know for sure?????????
Reply:its illegal for your doctor to carry out this sort of op on your doctor, let your head do the talking here, say something to stop it now. its a major operation and has side effects and risks attached to it.
Reply:You should not be a parent.

Reply:wow thats strange, and yes put your foot down there are alot of complications that involve breasts implants
Reply:Number one, get out and number two, see an attorney
Reply:Oh please! look at this person's other questions if you think s/he is serious!
Reply:oh hell no.
if you're anything of a mother you'll divorce your hubby and try to find out if hes done anything to her.
Reply:PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN!! your husband is sick!!!! you need to help your daughter he shouldnt be doing this to her...she's not done growing yet...once she's old enough if she feels that she needs it then thats her choice...but she shouldnt be made to get it done......
Reply:That is crazy and if you can't convince him it is wrong you should report this to Social Services for intervention as well as the AMA for the sicko Dr who would mutilate a child in this manner. She is 15 and still developing - no girl or woman should ever be forced into a form she does not want. Please put a stop to this it is criminal and will ruin your child's life.
Reply:You should be a mom and say no way. I am a Dad and would never recommend that my daughter get them let alone at 15. I would only give my opinion, if they were older and they asked for my opinion. Is he trying to have her on the pole by 17 or what? He sounds like a really bad loser and doesn't deserve the title of Dad. Talk with your daughter to see if he is touching her too? Sorry to be so up front but you gotta step up this just ain't right. BE A MOM!!!!!!!! and handle your business....
Reply:You are a sad person. Do you actually get a sexual thrill from these questions? I will break my own rule. You DO need to see a therapist.
Reply:If this isn't a joke, then put your foot down.
If this is a joke, you are one sick person.
Reply:I would seriously put my foot down! At 15 years old she is still developing. And why does he care so much? That is what I would be questioning. If she doesn't want them, it's her body. he can't force her to do that. You need to get to the bottom of this. Also ask your daughter if her father has ever made any sexual comments or advances. This is just creepy. Good luck.

Do most women get rippling from implants?
I have a consultation in a couple of weeks for Saline breast implants but I recently read an article which said that most women with implants will develop some type of rippling. Is this true? Will this happen right away?
Do most women get rippling from implants?
Yes, when you have your consultation, and see the implants, when you touch them and move them, you will see the rippling. Thats what it will look like under the skin. This is ALWAYS a factor with implants and you willl see it one the swelling goes down. You usually only see the rippling if you move or stand a certain way, lean over, etc. Don't worry, its not a big deal, I can make my rippling dissappear by straightening my posture.
Reply:I have Silicone implants and I have no rippling. I have had mine for 1 year and 9 months. I think that the rippling is more common with Saline implants. The Silicone implants are really safe now and that is the one my surgeon recommended. But I think that it really depends on the size of implants and how full they are along with the size of the woman. It wouldn't happen right away, it would happen later on, probably a few years later.
Reply:It does on some women, but it really depends on how small you are and how large you're going to go. I was a small A before I got my implants and now I'm a large C small D and I have no rippling at all. My implants are saline and I have had no problems with my implants the year and a half that i've had them. After my surgery I was swollen for about 3-4 weeks, but I've been happy with my boob job every since.
I hope this helps!
Reply:hmmmm, i don't think so, but i'm not completely sure. i'd definitely ask your doctor about statistics.

How old do you have to be to get implants? How much does it cost?
okay i know this might sound weird and although im going to have huge boobs later on in life.. i want implants NOW! but i dont know how much it costs...
i want them to be lie Farrah's from rock of love bus.. if you want a visual!
How old do you have to be to get implants? How much does it cost?
Farrah has some big boobs it depends on your body frame. I have nothing again implants I want them myself and i dont want to wait either just know if you dont wait they could possibly sag after children and you would have to go back in for a lift more $$ but out here in cali i have seen them as low as 2,500 which is an amazing price ust make sure to research your doc there are alot of twisted ones out there. and dont do it because of some show do it for you and if thats what you truely want go for it! you only live once and they can always be taken out if you change your mind.
Reply:Well, I think the wench that typed above me referring you to a S L U T can mind her own business if she doesn't have anything nice to say regarding you question. I too am looking for larger breasts, the only difference is that I WON'T get implants. I am not sure if I even want larger breasts, I just know that mine are TINY. I wouldn't mind an enhancer, but I am still doing research. I don't know much about implants cause it's not my interest, I wish you luck!!!
