TOPIC: Dermal Fillers

Dr Gitt in AZ

Radiesse isn\'t reversible, you have to wait for it to absorb.

Yea I\'ve looked into Gitt as well. He is very very expensive. Did you have it done by him. Greenwald seems very confident with his technique with Radiesse Greenwald told me through email that Radiesse is reversible I asked him how because I thought it wasn\'t.

Dr Greenwald means temporary, not reversible.

I haven\'t had a procedure with Dr Gitt, I just know he offers fillers for PE.

That\'s what I thought he literally used the word reversible in his email. Gitt uses Voluma XC. Gitt would be close to 7k though. I would go for 5k Max 7k is expensive

He\'s used the wrong word then. It\'s defiantly not reversible. Only HA is reversible.

There isn\'t much we can do about the prices I\'m afraid. That\'s why I\'m not confident HA will ever really become that popular. I\'m also not confident everyone will like the feel either. From my experience it\'s not that different to FFT, in that some people report it feels from and natural, while others say it feels spongey. It\'s strange that people would have such different experiences with the same product but they do.

I would assumed the more filler placed the more spongy it would feel. I\'m willing to give it a shot but want something that I can get rid of

Then HA is your only choice.

Nim Chrisopher uses small ammounts of a really thin HA (Restylane) then he get you to roll your penis like a rolling pin for a week after. Interesting, unfortunately he uses a needle.
I think using this technique you would be more likely to get an even result with no lumps but I think it would be more likely to move about.

Which doctor is this? Safety is my number one concern would rather start slow then go to much.

He\'s a Urologist in London. He works with David Ralph, who when I asked him about Restylane, didn\'t even know you can cause arterial embolization. Ultimately it just isn\'t their field of expertise.

Greenwald just told me there is a concoction of enzymes to degrade it

I don\'t think he\'s right about that. You should probably double check.

Radiesse is like having crushed up bone injected, that get encapsulated in collagen. I don\'t think any enzymes can be injected to make it dissolve or they\'d be used routinely in other applications. If such enzymes existed then why is anyone concerned about scar tissue? You could just injecte Dr Greenwalds enzyme concotion and it would dissolve!

@Hoddle10@If such enzymes existed then why is anyone concerned about scar tissue?@Maybe it\'s not enzymes, but there\'s a drug which is approved by US FDA for Peyronie\'s treatment called \"Xiaflex\" and it\'s maybe can be effective for scar tissue dissolving

What do you think?P.S. Also, what about cortisone shot? Is it effective for dissolving scar tissue? I\'ve read that cortisone can really soften ligaments at the place which injection was made.

Does anyone have pictures. Dr. Gitts office will only show them to you if your in the office

Xiaflex would break down the scar tissue. It\'s incredibly powerful stuff though. It\'s also $2-3000 per injection, and using it this way is off label. It may not be safe to use in the dartos in nodules of PMMA. It\'s meant to be used in the tunica in the peyronie\'s plaque.

I am gonna email my Urologist about it though... there\'s not much else I can do about these nodules. Perhaps he\'ll want to do a 3-6 month course of routine Kenalog injections (once a month), but that hasn\'t been all that effective in the past for most people here. I know he\'s used Kenalog on fat grafting patients with nodules, so I guess he thinks it works on some level.
