The Bellafill's PMMA microspheres take over as the Voluma is absorbed, creating a scaffold that stimulates the body to produce its own natural collagen over time, reinforcing the augmentation.
In short, the combination:
- leverages the benefits of both fillers: the immediate effect of the HA filler and the long-lasting, collagen-stimulating effect of Bellafill.
- allows for a thicker, more natural-looking appearance that can last for years, according to multiple penile augmentation providers.
Bellafill's ability to stimulate long-term collagen means fewer maintenance treatments are needed compared to fillers that are entirely absorbed over time.
I'm all for creative implementations of combining FDA approved fillers assuming they don't increase chances of complications, but the reasoning provided seems more of a redundancy than a novelty (respectfully). The
Bellafill is pretty immediate because of its carrier, you don't need the
Hyaluronic Acid (
HA) for that. The
HA will dissipate over time, so I'm not sure their combination (even if in succession rather than simultaneous) offers any benefits than having gone
Bellafill alone... other than the
HA being used as a regular top-off and/or touch-up over the foundation of
Bellafill's
Girth... which I guess is the best use-scenario? If that is indeed the case, then sure, I suppose one could go that route, but it seems rather... unnecessary almost?
If you're going to do annual top-offs of
HA anyways (at least presumably), why not just one or the other? Again, I don't think it's a
bad modality all things considered, but I'm not sure I'm sold on the explanation to make sense of this approach. Especially the secondary claim you made:
"allows for a thicker, more natural-looking appearance that can last for years" -- it feels more of a sales pitch than being grounded in actual medicine/science, but then again, it could also be a clever innovation for all I know. That's the beauty of this platform, the opportunity to discuss it all and make sense of things that can benefit most men who are seeking out enhancement for improvements in self-image & confidence.
