Some of this was discussed in the complications thread. I would encourage everyone to please read that thread.

Here is what I wrote (post #150) then and still believe today.

A granuloma is a small squishy inflammatory mass that will grow over its lifetime. In most cases it will present with swelling, inflammation, and pain. Note that if one reads the Salles 'Complication'' paper I posted earlier and used Lemperle's definition, 26 of the 32 cases are granulomas. Note that the 2 butt implants (deep) presented with pain and nodularity. A plastic surgeon I just spoke to, who has treated several moderate/severe filler granulomas said 'think of Kidney/Lima bean sized cold sores but in some cases more swollen and painful extending the length of your nasolabial fold.' Now imagine living with that condition for 4 months to 3+ years of treatment. He also said forget about surgical excision if used in penis augmentation. That situation would likely require a > 10 surgery reconstruction nightmare.

@EQ: Before anyone has this procedure, please look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself this question. \"Am I prepared to deal with and live with the consequences of getting a FBG\"?Realistically, what functional/nonfunctional effects will result from granuloma? An image search for \'penile granuloma\' doesn\'t exactly ease one\'s mind.

Didn\'t Lemperle say in a reply to Smartman that a later version of NP was pretty much pure anyway? I suspect these products are continually evolving, only they can\'t relaunch every time they make an improvement. I doubt Linea is actually much, if any, different to the NP Dr has been using for the last year. I seriously doubt their engineering and production took such giant steps forward in the short space of time NP was off the market. They\'ve probably been steadily improving it for years and following the patent issues which caused them to cease production, they\'ve simply rebranded.

That are some of your thoughts of what could be. Your kinda saying NP/Meta is the exact same product then Linea Safe.

My thoughts of what could be is diffrent.
If it its the same Company producing NP/Meta and now Linea Safe (as Lemperle guesses but does not know, as all of us) then those manufacturers probably have Leftovers from NP/Metacrill, which still need to be sold to make profit out of it. Maybe for a lower price then the new product.

Even/despite (fuking english conversation) tho they might have now their new purer version of the product ready.

I guess the safest source, we can relie on is Prof Dr Lemperle.
And he says Linea Safe is alot more pure then the other products (NP/Meta) and with that more likely to be used without the result of FBG (granuloma).

Im def more willing to get pmma injection with a product that is considered more clean according to Dr Lemperle.

I think you\'ve missed a post in which Lemperle cleared things up. The last NP he tested was like the new Linea Safe, which is my point. The rebranding wasn\'t done due to improvements in the product itself, but other reasons.

Since the New Plastic is off the market and Casavantes is falling back on Metacril I am holding off on PMMA in TJ.
The Metacril has some bad reviews as far as quality and consistency.
Some of you guys are I am sure looking for a r2 or r3. Will you still do it with the Metacril even though it is sub par?
