"Marianne,
Thank you for providing such a great website. I found all of my info on your
site and them some ! You are a wonderful person and I appreciate all
you do for us in our quest for beauty and self-confidence !
Hugs,
Christine from Indiana"
"Marianne - just a word of
congratulations on your updated website! I've been a faithful follower
of your sites for a number of years and know I can count on you and your
visitors for the latest, most accurate info on beauty and plastic surgery.
Keep up the good work, and congratulations!"
"This is
the best site on cosmetic surgery I have ever seen! The hard work of the
Hostess is apparent in her dedication to this very informative site."
[yestheyrefake.net]
"You are
doing a great service to many and it is appreciated. The insights you
and your guests provide is incredible. I never would have thought to try
out a BA size by purchasing a bra, filling it, and wearing it for a day to
check for comfort!" "This
site is very good at providing excellent support. I have gotten a numerous
amount of questions answered. Thank you Marianne for really caring about
the people who write to you."
"If YTF
recommends it, I'm there."
Thank you
for getting me in touch with Dr. Richard Dowden. You were right, he was
worth the travel. I finally have cleavage!"
"Right
now I'm looking for all of the info I can. This site really did help me
make up my mind! I'm gonna do it! Thank you for all of the great
info!!"
"YOUR
WEB SITE IS A W E S O M E!" [yestheyrefake.net]
"Thank
you for a truly informative and honest website! You are tireless in your
research and support. I would not have found my surgeon if it were not
for you."
"I just
wanted to write and express my appreciation for your 'Yes, They're
Fake' web site! I know that it takes a lot of effort,
not to mention, time to design and maintain it. I find it very
informative and interesting. Also, FYI this is the first
site I have been to, where I actually learned something new
in regards to augmentation mammoplasty! Keep up the good work!"
"I am
so happy to have found this forum and site. Thank you!!! You are the
best. It is so wonderful and informative and it cuts through all of the
other B.S. out there. There is nothing better than word of mouth. I
appreciate your honesty and sincerity with all of us."
"Thank
you so much for being there when I needed it. It is a relief to find
real information written by real patients. Your websites don't
"talk down" to people; you treat us as intelligent adults and
not lab rats. Kudos to you and Enhancement Media. You will
prosper!"
"...thank
you for taking the time to help me, I greatly appreciate it. I'd also
like to comment on your site. It's the most informative cosmetic/plastic
surgery site on the net. A lot of the "doctors" sites only
list the pluses but never any real risks. I'll continue coming to this
site for as long as it's here, hopefully forever =) Again thank you for
being the great person that you are."
"Your
website is a God Send!! It has everything I needed to know. Thank you so
much for being there!" [breastimplants4you.com]
"re: Best
info site on the web
I have been to several sites on the web, such as BA, and other
cosmetic surgery sites, and have found this to be the very best,
informative, down to earth, site I have ever researched. I'm in contact
with many physicians and I will tell them about this great site so they
can refer their patients. [posted by

"First
of all, I really appreciate for your opening this site and sharing your
experience with others. This site helped me to be prepared for my
rhynoplasty [sic]
surgery. I just want to thank you for providing me some good information.
I
understand that you are planning to go some other surgeries. I hope
everything works out wonderful for your future surgery plan.
With Best Regards" [name withheld

"I had my surgery done yesterday
morning and due to the list I've printed out from your site I was
completely prepared. I am so lucky that I only had pain for the first
hours and now I can walk around the house already and do little. I have
Vicodin as a painkiller and I must say it is helping my tremendously. I
feel GREAT! Thanks for all the tips." [BreastImplants4You.com]
"This is the greatest most
informative website I have seen about plastic surgery!!! Everything I
want to know about implants, anesthesia, and facial measuring in one
place. This is a very very helpful service!
Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Dominique" [YesTheyreFake.net]
"THANK YOU * THANK YOU * THANK *
YOU! What a great site. I've read nearly all of it just tonight. I
had my surgery here in Europe (Netherlands) and have the Monobloc
Cohesive Hydrogels. I am now seven months post and am pleased to
report ZERO problems! It's a shame these aren't available in the
states. I think they're great. I'll be sure to pass on this
website for those contemplating surgery but still are in the "need
to know" part.
(By the way - you three gals are beautiful!)
Smiles,
Bonnie" [BreastImplants4you.com]
"I have a couple things I wanted to
tell you. First off I wanted to say hi, and thank you for taking the
time and effort to create such an incredible site . I've never seen
anything like it, nothing that even comes close, yours is probably the
very best in the U.S, IF NOT THE ENTIRE WORLD, regarding self
improvement procedures!! I especially know this is true when I call a
surgeon's office and they don't know about procedures out there (ones
they SHOULD be familiar with, or worse yet, ADVERTISE THAT THEY
OFFER/PERFORM) and I refer them to your site for information. Geez.
That's when you know you're good, when doctors come to you for
information!! Like I said, thank God for you and what you have
done. I think you are unwittingly setting an example that inspires
others in other walks of life (not just cosmetic surgery) to go after
and provide unbiased and generous amounts of info, the way you do. I'm
serious!..." [revisionrhinoplasty.net and yestheyrefake.net]
"Thank
you sooo much for your help. The information you have given me
thus far will help immensely. I will be in touch to let you know
and it is great knowing that there is someone out there like you, to
help people like me, out." [rhinoplasty4you.com]
"Your
site has been so helpful in my making my decision to get a BA. All of
the info and the checklists and the humor. I finally took the plunge and
have made an appt. for a consultation this week." [yestheyrefake.net]
"I would just like to say how
informative and helpful your website is. I'm considering breast implants
but couldn't find a web site that was neither for or against them, but
just gave the facts, until I found your site. I will definitely
recommend this to anyone who wants info on breast surgery. Thanx again,
kind regards." [breastimplants4you.com]
"Marianne I know you hear this often
but if everyone thinking of having cosmetic surgery came to your site
first The outcome of their informed decision would be a better one due
to your wonderful, wonderful site :) Thank You, Ori"
[yestheyrefake.net]
"Really like your informative
site!!!! I'm not looking to get my lips augmented, but I am interested
in getting a scar filled. Your site is the most informative on all the
products out there that I have found on one site.
Thanks!!!!" [lipaugmentation.com]
"Marianne,
I just found your website, wow, you are a wealth of information.......so
much better than the "clinical" sites. I went from a
32-nothing to a 34-D last September, I absolutely love them!! I got more
info. from your site than the doctor gave me.....thanks so much!!"
[yestheyrefake.net]
"I am so glad I found your website
and that someone like you who speaks from the patient's point of view is
hard at work helping us make informed decisions. Your energy and
commitment are to be applauded!" [yestheyrefake.net]
"Your website is so informative and
helpful! It's hard to get the facts and honest answers on procedures
from surgeons. I found all the info I was looking for. How do you find
all this stuff!?!" [yestheyrefake.net]
"As always, your sites are tops.
Just a note to tell you thanks for all of the hard work and keep it up. ~anonymous"

"Hi,
Having septoplasty tomorrow and was freaking. Your pages helped me
understand a lot of things.
Take care." [yestheyrefake.net]
"Marianne,
This an amazing and wonderful reminder list! If you wrote it, Marianne,
you are a genius. We already know you are a treasure to all who visit
these boards. I've also learned that just when things seem to be
improving, there can be setbacks in the healing/recovery process. Just
reading that wonderful "Emotion Reminder List" helps me
remember that this is a process.
Thank you SO MUCH

"Hello!
I'm a 28 year old male interested in and investigating plastic surgery.
In the past few weeks I've been tons of research on the Internet and
have just come across your site. I just wanted to take a minute to tell
you what a truly wonderful site it is! It's unlike any I've seen yet.
Thanks so much for providing such smart, candid, and thorough
information regarding plastic surgery. It's greatly appreciated.
Best wishes always,
John in NYC" [yestheyrefake.net]
"Many thanks to my friends Birdy and
Marianne...
Thanks Birdy, for recommending Dr. Grossman and Marianne, for giving me
the reassurement I needed to make my decision. Dr. Grossman is great and
he gave me a waist I didn't have before. He certainly was not shy nor
over-conservative. I wanted the honest truth and he gave it to me with
no candy-coating. I'm swollen and a little sore now but I know I'm going
to be happy.
Big hugs guys. xo, Angel"
"I am having a lip-lift done
Monday, June 10th. I feel
more prepared now that I have read
through your site and studied the
information there. I
just wanted to take a moment and
thank you for the time you have
given to help others.
Sincerely,

"Just wanted to commend you on the
awesome job you are doing with your site and service to all the women
(and men) out there that need this information. I'm 29, but I
think of all the young girls out there that rush out to get surgery ,
or are insecure because they aren't perfect. I hope they all
find your site, and it opens their eyes (as it did mine) to what's
going on out there! Thanks again Karin" [yestheyrefake.net]
"Hi Marianne,
One thing I want to say is, I love your sites!!! Especially the Yes, they're fake one!!! So much info! I think I want to try everything you recommend, LOL.
"
"I LOVE THIS SITE! You know
why? Here, I can say "I love my boobs", I can talk about
boobs, I can learn about boobs, I can bond with other women who feel
exactly the same as I do about boobs, I can admire other's boobs and
teach other's about what I've learned about boobs...oh, I know there's
more to life than boobs, but it is so nice to have a place to come
where you feel like you belong and you're understood! Thanks to each
of you out there who make this message board what it is and a special
thanks to Marianne, for giving us this forum and the wonderful
educational website 'breast implants 4 you' and Cindy, our Doll Maker
who makes each one of us feel special and unique with the gift of her
Dolls. My love and appreciation goes out to you all!!
Love, Jules" [BreastImplants4You.com]
"Hi, Marianne!
Absolutely love your elaborate network of boards and
information! Am very appreciative of the manner in which you
administer all.
Actually I am amazed that you do it at all, not to mention doing
it so well! Karen"
[yestheyrefake.net] "Hi
all! today was my pre-op and pre-admit appointment, my surgery is on November
20. I took this websites advice and
took images with me into my pre-op appointment. Thank you for
everything!" "Thank you for recommending
Dr. James Romano for my facial surgery. I was very nervous at first but after speaking with him
and learning about my procedures I became more relaxed. He truly is an excellent surgeon. My results came out wonderfully and now I am thinking about
body sculpting!” [yestheyrefake.net]
"…After hearing so many negative remarks about
rhinoplasty I was very apprehensive about going through with my
surgery. Then I found
your Rhinoplasty 4 You website. I
can honestly say I am now informed and have more confidence in my
surgeon. I have you and your visitors to thank for that.”

"hi
marianne,
i just wanted to thank you for all of your wonderful informative
websites. you are a world of information and have helped me
tremendously in making two very important life changing decisions. i
visit both the lip and breast boards daily (it's addicting too) and
have met wonderful people on top of everything else i have gained.
many thanks to you, Adrianna"
"Hi. I'm from the UK. Until I
found this site, I was living in ignorance about implants. I lived
with my small boobs for decades! I wouldn't have had my breast
augmentation done had it not been for the vast amounts of information
and facts that I received at this site. Not to mention the
invaluable and unique experiences of all the women there.
I am really grateful to Marianne and those who make this board
possible. I hope that it's here for years to come to help others too.

"I just wanted to tell you how
helpful this site has been to me and to thank you for all of the work
you put into it. The recovery period for plastic surgery can, I think,
be especially difficult because of the private nature of the
experience and the tendency of others to be judgmental. These boards
provide a supportive, informative and yet anonymous forum for people
like me who would otherwise have no outlet for sharing their
concerns. That's been a great comfort to me and, I'm sure,
to others who use your site. Thank you"
[YTF Facial Surgery]
"Marianne, thanks for running such
a great beauty board. It has been so informative and I have gotten so
many good tips on make up, skin care and beauty aids. Not to mention
it has saved me a ton of money..... I no longer waste it on products
that don't work or other people on the board have found not to be
good. My new motto is when in doubt consult YTF Beauty.

Letters
Of Appreciation
Hi Marianne:
I wanted to thank you for your web site [yestheyrefake.net].
I've found it very helpful while researching my (hopefully upcoming!)
septorhinoplasty. There is a ton of information out there, but
few sites that present it in such a pleasant and straightforward manner.
Thank to your site, I'm also becoming interested in other procedures/treatments
about which I knew nothing, such as Obagi and microdermabrasion.
I was unpleasantly surprised by the appearance of my skin when I saw
the 8x10s during my first consult with a plastic surgeon. I
probably shouldn't be surprised, as I had some problems with acne as a
teenager.
Before I ramble on any further, let me thank you again for the web
site and not being discouraged by those detractors you mentioned on
the page about you. I believe that if there is a procedure that
will make you feel better about your appearance, you can afford it, and you accept the risks and
limitations as part and parcel, then go for it!
Kind Regards,
[name withheld]
M, I
wanted to thank you for your time and effort in building such
incredible cosmetic surgery websites. I have learned so much;
yours is the first site I check as soon as I sign on line. I
would have never gone through with my surgeries if you and the other
girls hadn't been there for me when I needed it. I had heard you
run a tight ship as they say and now I know why. Thank you for
weeding out the drivel and propaganda. Very
Sincerely,
Colleen [last name withheld upon request]
Marianne,
I just wanted to thank a million
times over for setting up such wonderful and informative sites.
The openness and kindness found on the message boards to the
journals are amazing. The information is put in layman's terms
so we can all easily understand. Thank you doesn't even
express it- you and your staff are truly unique- I am thankful that
you came up with this site and you give hope to me to show there is
a reason for everything (your law enforcement career didn't quite
work out the way you hoped, but man look at you no) so that gives me
hope that with time and patience good things will come
Sincerely,
Denise [last name withheld]
