Can Breast Implants Cause Sleep Apnea?

Post by roster » Mon May 10, 2010 7:09 pm

Dr. Park is at it again: http://doctorstevenpark.com/can-breast- ... leep-apnea

For sure they often cause me to stop breathing.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related

He should compare to natural "well endowed" women. I haven't slept on my stomach since I was 16 - or at least not without lots off strangely placed pillows.

Why is it that when Dr. Park asks the question, it sounds so studious and scientific, but when ro[o]ster asks it, it just sounds, . . . well, . . . naughty?

My GF Patty was diagnosed with OSA when she was the proud owner of a set of store bought ones. Due to problems with them she had them removed and not replaced and she still has OSA with her God given titties....

FWIW

I can see where this implant thing could get out hand. For women you can't sleep on your tummy because of breast implants and for men you can't sleep on your tummy because of your Pec implants and your penile implant.
Then both men and women can't sleep on their backs because of their calf implants and and their butt implants.
If they figure out something to implant on the sides of the body I can see where a lot of people are going to need a hook implanted in their back so they can be hung from it at night.
