Loria\'s procedure will work in my opinion. I was shocked that Irishfan gained nothing. It has nothing to do with him talking steroids though. It just shows how little experience Loria has with the procedure. He obviously didn\'t have the ratio right between the amount of micro droplets and carrier.
The issue with this procedure isn\'t whether it works or not. The problem is Silikon1000 has virtually no history at all as a volume filler and therefore we (including Dr Loria, no matter what he tries to say) have absolutely no clue what so ever, what the complication rate will be, what type of complications there will be and what the best treatments for these complications are.
The
PMMA products available today aren\'t the same as those 5 years ago. Likewise those available 5 years ago, will be superior to those used 10 years ago. The theory behind these fillers is usually sound until complications start occurring. Bio Alcamid was supposed to be an excellent permanent filler and went through rigorous testing. But over time it has become clear the complication rate was far too high.
Silikon1000 has no history as a big volume filler and limited history when used in small amounts in the face. So there is every chance that it could prove to be as bad or worse than older generation
PMMA products or Bio Alkamid. On top of that, Dr Loria is mixing it with other products and he wont say what is in this cocktail.
PMMA is risky enough, but at least you can have some kind of idea of what you are letting yourself in for.
There is no point looking at results of Dr Lorias website or even searching on message boards as the information needed to make anywhere close to an informed decision juts isn\'t there. I looked into it before Dr Loria was even doing the procedure. I posted the results of an Israeli study (where Loria must have got the idea). But other than that, there just isn\'t anything to go on.
Loris shouldn\'t be doing this procedure. In my opinion it\'s unethical what he\'s doing and without any doubt, 100% financially driven.
A good Dr wouldn\'t charge for the procedure and start out by injecting very small amounts into volunteers and following their progress over an extended period of time.
