Great study, thanks for posting!
Summary of the study / the pdf posted:
Author did 752 operations with Metacrill 2007-2016, 203 (27%)of the patients returned the questionaires
Average Satisfaction rate from 1-10 was 8,7.
83% were satisfied, 12% were not so satisfied, 5% wer dissatisfied
Average
Girth increased by 3,5cm. (
Erect and non-
Erect; that\'s 1.37 inches)
Erections were enhanced in 15%, stay same in 83%, decreased in 1,5%
Sensitivity was higher in 15%, stay same in 83%, decreased in 2%
50% of the time there were irregularities, 50% of the time penis surface was smooth
in 0.4% Nodules had to be surgically removed.
Inject in different spots, later instructing patient to massage the next 72 hours, 24 hours after procedure doctor also looks at it again.
First penis is fatter because water-based carrier, then smaller when this gets metabolized in body, then fatter again in the next 3 months it gets fatter again because body-material forms around the pmaa parts
100% got the first session
33% got the second
16% got the third
6% fourth
3% fifth
10%
PMMA was used more in neck segments, 30%
PMMA more midshaft and base
5-140 mL, average 40mL
More irregularities with uncircumcised patients.
[side note: Lig Cutting for length had 35% satisfaction rate]
'More half the patients (52%) reported minimum to severe
irregularities such as single nodules, multiple nodules,
hard ridges at the
Circumcision scar or at the base, micro-nodules
at the entry points, indentations, or voids.
Sterile exudate through the entry points is a common occur-
rence that resolves in approximately 24 hours. Two patients
(0.3%) presented exudate that lasted longer than 72 hours but
resolved with no further complications.'
Removal of
PMMA Penile Implants
\"Total surgical
Removal of a
PMMA implant might require
aggressive degloving of the penis, which is associated with painful
recovery and permanent irregularities.
Removal should be the last
option, and meticulous smoothening of irregularities with cross-
linked
Hyaluronic Acid, Silikon 1000, silicone micro-droplets,
or
PMMA is more advisable.'
Materials:
'Metacrill is approved in Brazil, Mexico, and Europe, and
ArteFill (
Bellafill since 2015; Suneva Medical, Santa Barbara,
CA, USA) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Adminis-
tration in the United States and South Korea, but the latter
product is too expensive when considering an average volume of
PMMA 40 mL per patient. The same is true for Artecoll (Artes
Medical, San Diego, CA, USA), which is approved in Europe by
the Conformit' Europ'enne and in China by the Chinese Food
and Drug Administration;
PMMA microspheres in these prod-
ucts are suspended in rather expensive bovine collagen. There-
fore, for larger volumes, we rely on the two affordable
PMMA
products (Metacrill and Linnea Safe [formerly New Plastic;
BioMedical, Sao Paulo, Brazil]) approved by ANVISA, the
Brazilian Health Ministry'
PMMA is used as 'wrinkle filler' since 1989
My reaction to the study:
Very interesting!
Don\'t want to be too cracy, but the study is from the guy that earns his living selling
PMMA procedure. Would be interested to see Alter\'s comments (see posts below).
27% returned the questionaire. But 203 people is a looooot - much more than journals we have here, isn\'t it.
Also very interesting to me: Only a third of the patients even got to the second round. And combined fact: Average increase in
Girth of 3,5cm (1.37 inches)
