Why on earth would they do something to the
PMMA when the PE side of their business comes almost exclusively as a result of feedback on this message board?
They gain absolutely nothing from disappointed patients.
Firstly, it\'s obvious to anyone with half a brain that poor results would simply lead to potential patients looking for alternatives. They are more than aware of their exposure on this forum!
Secondly, the big profit is from the first procedure, as follow up procedures cost less. I read on here that they were so busy they were considering scaling back the amount of PE\'s they do. So that suggests they have more than enough new patients, where the real money is. Why would they want to build a business model that increases the percentage of their clients that are return patients (who they profit less from), when they could easily fill their slots with new guys? Any fool can see that happy customers is the key to their success. If everyone was reporting great first round gains and less people needed to go back for further rounds, do you seriously think that would damage their business. I assure you it wouldn\'t, it would simply lead to increased demand and increased profits.
Thirdly, they buy
PMMA in vast quantities. The cost to them would be so low, that it would hardly be worth diluting it. Somewhere on here there is a progress report from a guy who went to a Colombian Dr who was their main guy in that country. He told us how much he pays for Metacril and it was crazy cheap.
So if you follow the money, you wont end up at Dr C and Wade. An ideal business model for them would be see good aesthetic results from 1 round. If they were able to achieve that, they could put their price up to $4000 and though people would moan on here, there would be no shortage of men heading to Mexico. It\'s disappointing gains and guys having to go back several times which has left a lot of guys on the fence regarding this procedure. So diluting their
PMMA doesn\'t benefit them at all.
Also we don\'t have anywhere near enough evidence to to know there is something wrong with the
PMMA and certainly not enough to go throwing around silly accusations.
