Pillar implants

Post by northernlights » Fri Sep 08, 2006 1:28 pm

Hi everyone:

First of all, to bellasmiles, welcome and best of luck. I think I have the same mask as you, its an F&P Aclaim 2, with the slider. I've been using it for about 5 weeks, and I've also been having trouble with redness on the bridge of my nose. The last couple of nights, I put a small square band-aid on the red spot before putting on the mask, and it seems to help. Its worth a try.
Secondly, what is the verdict on Pillar implants? They were just approved this week, up here in Canada. I'm wondering whether this is something worth looking into. Does anyone know who would most benefit from this type of treatment? Any input would be much appreciated.

Steve.
