Seems like a bunch of people were calling Dr Paley as they got worried.

People, I am fine. I’ve never been at risk of any damage at any point.

I made this journal as I thought my complications were cool (don’t really see them often) so I wanted to discuss them with members including the science behind it.

Unfortunately people overreact so I don’t plan on updating this diary anymore.

And just want to add a note saying that complications can happen to anyone. What matters is how quickly your surgeons react. I’ve had amazing surgeons who acted the moment they saw something. I may have been fine without hospitalisation, but they’re being ultra safe.

Just deeper that if I was doing this in Turkey I probably would’ve died by now 😂

Having smaller embolisms means that there’s a higher surface area so it’s easier to clean up the lungs. The big ones can cause ischemic strokes or have similar symptoms.

I am pretty interested in medical science so seeing these complications is really cool. Just a shame that I was unlucky to have them 😂.

These complications have nothing to do with surgeon skill. My body just didn’t like LL I suppose,   happens.

I’d still do it over again. Every complication that came up was solved very quickly thanks to the attention to detail of Dr Michal and Dr Tomasz. Fever at midnight? Got 1am medication delivered to my door. Bleeding? Saw a urologist to check that there isn’t any damage. Embolism? Saw a cardiologist and my oxygen is being constantly monitored. Right now it’s at 97-98% which is really good.

Couldn’t have chosen a better place to do it. Any complications are dealt with rapidly.

My flexibility is really good and I can walk kind of normally with a walker. Thanks to the amazing physiotherapy and surgery team.

Are you a vaper by any chance? Paley said vapers are at a bigger risk for fat embolism syndrome. The small fat embolisms are more common due to LL. Big embolisms are more common when you break a bone due to an accident.

Yikes...I think you're putting too much faith in the "Paley" marketing scheme, these are not normal complications and a pretty resounding rebuke of whatever this "Paley Institute" in Poland is considering this is the first case study done on this forum. I am not surprised by the lack of quality in the accommodations and partners considering he has essentially franchised his name to multiple countries outside the US (as well as 9 different locations in Florida) and continues to upcharge the price of every lengthening service. This has to be at least a 9 figure business endeavor for him now. Just to note that because he was first to introduce cosmetic lengthening to the West 40 years ago does not automatically make him or his associates the best. If I recall correctly, Paley himself doesn't even do most of the surgeries at his own clinic anymore due to age (and probably due to status). To anyone reading, consult multiple doctors and be skeptical of everything they say, because in the end this is a cosmetic procedure and they are going to tell you what you want to hear. Don't confuse quality care with experienced business tactics. As a LL vet, these are very scary complications. I hope you are able to make a steady recovery OP.

I have never vaped or smoked.

The reason why Paley said that is because he had a case where a vaper spent 1 year in the ICU under ventilation.
