TOPIC: Dr. Rupeka Questions & Answers

The following information are answers provided by Dr. Rupeka, to common questions about his Male Enhancement procedures.

---

(1) Do you have a preference for Bellafill (PMMA) or Hyaluronic Acid (HA) for penile Girth enhancement? If you don't have a preference, could you describe the pros & cons of each?

In almost all of my Male Enhancement cases, I choose to use the Bio-stimulatory Dermal Filler Bellafill. I love that Bellafill provides immediate, long lasting results and seems to appear more “natural” over time. Bellafill is not hydrophilic, meaning it does not absorb water or swell post injection like an HA would. I was using both previously, but did not like the way that my patient’s penises looked and felt with only HA down the road. HAs also resorb and only allow for very temporary results, causing the patient to continue with regular treatments in order to maintain results. Bellafill allows me to provide patients with a predictable result that will last, with little to no down time.



(2) Do you use a blunt-tip cannula or needle for injections?

I inject all my make enhancement patients with a blunt tip micro-cannula, delicately placing the Bellafill along the entire shaft of the Flaccid penis painlessly with a patent-pending microcannula technique. I use this technique because it minimizes downtime, and allows for consistent ideal results. I do numb up 3 spots with a small TB needle prior to placing my cannula port.



(3) What, if any, are the risks of filler migration?

No. Once Bellafill is injected into the tissue, it can immediately be massaged an slightly manipulated as needed. Within an hour of injection, the PMMA microspheres will integrate into the tissue where it will remain in place.



(4) How many sessions can a patient expect to achieve an ideal result?

This varies per patient. A notable difference will be achieved after just one treatment. Additional treatments as needed may be necessary to achieve a larger, more desired result.



(5) What makes an ideal candidate?

Any patient looking to increase size with long term results. Each patient is assessed and consulted prior to treatment to ensure they good candidates.

What is your "patent-pending microcannula technique"? How does it differ from a regular cannula? Can this accommodate long penises as well? My last and only procedure so far required 4 entries because the cannula was too short.

Could you specify where you read the "patent-pending" part so that I can provide the proper context when forwarding this question to them? I looked all over their website but couldn't seem to find this specific claim. Thanks.

I see it in the answer to question #2 in this thread. Don’t see it on his website.

Oh! Don't know how I missed that, thought it was something you found on his website. I'm trying to retain all the new info on our newest Sponsors so have patience with me as I also learn alongside you all. I'll forward this question to them next week.

Dr Rupeka,
If I have dermal graft and fat injections already can I come see you to do Bellafill on top of this to add additional Girth?

Any updates on this? Trying to make a decision for another round between now and end February. Also I know he doesn't take care credit and or offer promotional financing. Can you also ask if this is something they plan on doing at some point. My first round I went with Dr. Song's practice, in Oakland NJ, which offered 6 months interest free financing through Care Credit. I'd prefer something like that as opposed to dipping into savings but also understand if they have no plans on doing that, though I recommend it since it's a consideration some clients might make.

It can sometimes take days to hear back, many of these Clinics can be quite busy and often are inundated with requests & inquiries. If I don't see something by Monday, I'll call directly to see if I can get the questions pushed through.

Dr. Rupeka, I have previously had HA and am now considering Bellafill. Can you tell me the process through which I would have to go to get Bellafill from you? Thank you.
