I think you can remove part of the \"unlucky\" side of things, by opting for a smaller amount. Stick with 10%, but don\'t ask for high volume. In my opinion there should be very few poor results with this procedure, but the patients themselves have to start take responsibility. By now it should be pretty clear Dr C will do pretty much whatever a patient asks, so just treat him as a tool in the process. The large part of the responsibility has to be with the patient and with that in mind, don\'t take unnecessary risks. If everyone accepted from the outset that it will probably take 2 or 3 injections to get things right, goals have to be reasonable (around an
Inch total) and that smaller amounts per injection are going to dramatically reduce the chances of aesthetic issues, then I bet we\'d see a massively higher satisfaction rate than we currently are. In my opinion the quality of
PMMA or the injectors themselves isn\'t what is causing the problems, as much as the demands and expectations of patients.
I think we need to get the
PMMA procedure back on track and to do that the goals and objectives should in my opinion to have results one would expect from a good outcome with the other surgical PE options. If one were to gain an
Inch of aesthetic
Girth for less than $10,000 with the options available in the US and western Europe, it would be considered a huge triumph. Yet with
PMMA people seem desperate to get all they can for $2500 and often end up disappointed when they don\'t like the look and have to go back more times. If a year after
Belladerm surgery, you are sitting on a 3/4\" gain, it should be considered a massive success, only to get there you\'ve have had a risky surgery and go through an arduous recovery period. The same can be achieved with a sensible approach to
PMMA, but without having down time or the risk of surgery.
A 1.75\" gain isn\'t realistic with the other surgical options and by making it a goal with
PMMA, in my opinion sets you up for disappointment.
