While I admire your bravery and imagination, this is an extraordinarily reckless idea.
The point of penis enhancement is to have a procedure done on a functioning unit and, after the procedure, come out with something that is bigger and better but also still functioning. And although this is a relatively low risk procedure when done by a skilled doctor, it\'s still a surgery of sorts, and it still has its risks. If you read progress reports on this forum, you will see people who took the risk of having
PMMA, and it didn\'t turn out great, even when done by a skilled doctor (some of them have had excruciating and expensive experiences with repairing their penises after the fact). You say in your post, \"I know nothing about the subject.\" If this is a procedure that can turn out less than perfect even when done by a skilled and experienced doctor, what makes you think that you\'re going to have a good outcome when you admittedly know \"nothing\"?
\"What\'s the worst that could happen\":
- Without experience or skill, how will you know that your instruments or your outer skin is sterilized properly? How will you be sure that the
PMMA product and filler are sterile (or that the
PMMA is not counterfeit)? You could end up with an infection in your fascia or skin. If it abscesses, and your skin and tissue start to die, you\'re going to be in a world of pain. There\'s a member on here who is going through that literal hell as we speak.
- You say that you heard a cannula is too blunt to sever a blood vessel, but how do you know that? People have died from fat embolism after getting butt lifts done. I\'m not equating fat transfer with
PMMA injection, but who\'s to say embolism isn\'t possible if you are ramming the cannula around haphazardly and end up getting
PMMA into your bloodstream? And if not a blood vessel, how about a nerve? Do you know the locations of major nerves in the penis so that you know how to avoid them? Is it worth risking something like erectile dysfunction due to nerve damage?
- How do you know you will inject the
PMMA into the right layer of penile tissue? Do you know how to determine what is skin versus
Dartos fascia versus Buck\'s fascia? And do you know how far toward the base and glans to use the cannula? The risk here is that you get
PMMA distributed in the wrong areas and end up with a mangled unit, or perhaps a painful one if the
PMMA-induced tissue is stuck to the wrong parts of the penis.
- How will you know you are injecting the right proportion of
PMMA versus filler? And without someone to show you how to do it, how will you know how to properly manipulate the
PMMA and filler in the coming days after self-administration?
- If you have complications after self-administering
PMMA, are you sure that your health insurance is going to cover the cost of fixing damage that you caused? I\'m not sure I\'d assume here--I think I\'d read my insurance policy and talk to someone knowledgable to make sure I wouldn\'t have to cover the cost of rounds of treatment and surgery if you get something wrong. And that\'s assuming you will be able to find a
Urologist and surgeon willing to touch you--a lot of members here have had a hard time finding American urologists/surgeons who are willing to take them on as patients after getting
PMMA injected in Mexico.
Those factors alone would make the decision for me. I\'m not even a very risk-averse person, but it\'s enough to make me 100% sure that, if I did an elective cosmetic procedure, I would want to have someone skilled making sure that the above risks are mitigated as much as possible. Even then, I would have to accept that there is inherent risk in any invasive medical procedure and that, well, shit happens sometimes.
You\'re talking about the difference of a few thousand dollars to mitigate your risk heavily for a procedure that has its risks (some of them serious and not purely aesthetic) and is not necessary from a medical standpoint. The better option is to save your money and get it done by an experienced professional, and if you can\'t afford that, then to forgo the
PMMA completely. That extra money is not wasted--it\'s payment for the skill of the doctor, and it\'s like paying for insurance that you\'re (probably) not going to end up with a ruined unit after the procedure is over and things have healed up.
I\'m not trying to be a d*ck about any of the above. We all are learning on this forum, myself included. I don\'t even know the answer to most of my questions above--but the questions alone are enough to keep me from even considering self-administration. Good luck, man.
