TOPIC: Any updates regarding Ellanse longevity?

I had Ellanse 4 years and 3 months ago, it was the 4-year version (I understand that only the 2 year version is now available). I have not to date seen any decrease (gain was 0.5"). I am wondering what updates you may have by now regarding how long your patients have gone past the manufacturer quoted longevity (e.g. 2 years for Ellanse-M) before seeing any decrease? I had mine done with Dr. Kearney, very satisfied. I'm asking here since I will likely go to Avanti Derma for a 2nd round. Also, if I gained exactly 0.5" from 12ml, would it be reasonable to expect 0.25" should I only do 6ml? I'm considering only 6 to 8ml, especially if I've not lost anything by the time I get to it. Thank you!

I have this same question.

I think I am pushing up on 5 years ( ish ) since my first round. - no loss what so ever.

Hello @think

Well, we've been using Ellansé for GE for about 3-4 years now and it is true that longevity lasts longer than what the manufacturer claims. In fact, I don't think we have treated a patient so far where Ellansé has been completely absorbed before a second round.

Gains are something we can't control, however, it sounds kinda obvious that if Dr. Morales distributes 6-8 cc's all over your shaft the increase can be lesser than with 12 cc's.

I’m now at 5 years 2 month and zero loss. I love this stuff. 100 percent natural feeling.

In summary, AD has patients having Ellanse for a decade (I am surprised they've been using it that long!) without significant absorption or need for a touch up, and it's natural and firm feeling beats HA, and compares to PMMA.

That's the secret and beauty of Ellanse!! we hope more people understood this, Ellanse is much better overall, better than HA (Hyaluronic Acid)

Have there been any instances yet of people adding Ellanse after having some prior PMMA?

I'm in no way suggesting I'd want that. More just to have information here for mixed cases, which I'm sure are not only a thing but will become more of a thing as the number of practitioners around the world increases and people's options evolve.

Ellanse on top of PMMA?
Hello, guys; we haven't received such a request so far.
Although I don't see any contraindication besides that one of the basic guidelines for using fillers is to avoid combining them in the same body area, PMMA and PCL (Ellansé) are inert and, in theory, fully compatible.
On the other hand, Ellansé's longevity in the penis is well beyond what has been reported for the face; it will not create a drastic difference like using HA on top of PMMA.
I don't see a clear justification for the combination, but undoubtedly, some patients will find it eventually.
