When to choose traditional over "natural" medicine

It does strike me as a little hypocritical should someone esteem "natural" medicine, denounce doctors, then go for surgical breast augmentation. If she had chosen the naturopathic means for enhancement, she would have every reason to seek a naturopathic remedy. But, since she chose a medical option instead, she is obliged to return for a medical solution.

If she has fairly new implants and is already complaining of capsule, or if one is much worse than the other, it should be checked out by the surgeon and maybe radiologically. This could be a sign of acute leaking or rupture, or unresolved damage to surrounding tissue, which doubtless cannot be corrected with naturopathy or homeopathy or whatever else. Although modern implant material is non-toxic, living with a ruptured or leaky implant is often not a pleasant experience, I'm told. Implants naturally develop capsules over time to some degree, which often cause pain and contracture and make it difficult to screen for cancer. Implants with capsules don't look or (er) act(?) much like the real thing. When the cosmesis, (er) performance(?), and/or discomfort gets to a certain point, I expect she'll seek real medical attention. The sooner the better if she wants a good chance at a satisfactory outcome.
