TOPIC: why dont they use pmma sheets?

tend to agree with hoddle. one of the main attractions of PMMA is the absence of (invasive) surgery. perhaps there is another way of keeping the product more evenly distributed.

It\'s already been discussed and most thought it was a good idea. I think it\'s a bad idea, as I see surgery as the biggest risk factor in PE and that is the only reason I think a foreign body injection is preferable. The combination of a full surgery and a foreign material, is a bad idea in my opinion.

Ya. I\'m thinking that may be the real issue. The sheet of PMMA idea in my mind would be perfect. No lumps or irregularities. The PMMA is held in place initially by its \"sheet/carrier\" and as it slowly absorbs and collagen formation kicks in you have a very even distribution of PMMA and subsequent collagen growth. The reason this probably isn\'t or won\'t be happening is a manufacturing/cost issue. Too bad.
