Ok so last week I had a talk with wade about how to proceed with nodules. He advised me to come there if at all possible for treatment, and said although be could tell me what to do, he did not advise doing it yourself. That said, he told me what they do. They make a small hole with an 18 gauge needle, then using sterilized tweezers, pull out the excess tissue, which he said would be white and would poke out a little from the incision site (needle hole). He said be careful not to remove too much or you\'ll leave a pit or hole. He then said to put neosporin and let the wounds heal uncovered.
The following is just the slightest bit graphic.
Here is how it went: I poked a small hole, and saw nothing but blood. No white anything to grab, so I just started digging into the flesh with the tweezers and squeezing and ripping out tiny pieces of tissue. It hurt like a bastard and bled a lot. I worked on three of the four nodules, the ones that were most noticeable. One of them wasn\'t too bad so I left it alone. The one on the top left I got on the first try and seems to be resolved. The other two I had to work on a second time because I didn\'t remove enough. Those two are still healing and scabbed but I think I got them. I am postin pics and will post again in a few days when they\'ve had time to heal.
This was all done purely for aesthetics and this was my first attempt at a corrective procedure. We shall see the results but I know one the nodules is fixed and perfect now after 4 days healing. The other two have had less than 48 hours but I think they\'re also fixed. When I say this was purely aesthetic I did neglect that the nodules did hurt if you pinch they or press on them too hard. That said, even not fully healed I can say that issue is fully resolved.
PMMA does not do well at the skin surface. I have a feeling from what I\'ve read and experienced, that is where you\'re going to run into issues. If
PMMA is injected close to the surface, it\'s going to hurt and have an unnatural look and get a tissue reaction.
Anyway, that\'s my two cents and my report. I\'ll keep you posted.
