There is no evidence this guy has ever used PMMA. I can\'t find it advertised anywhere on his website and the only reason anyone thinks he does is because of a phone call one of our members made, where they wanted to charge $200 for a consult. The fact that he\'s even suggested he\'d inject the product if the patient brought it to him, tells you all you need to know about the guy. What kind of Dr would inject a product that they don\'t even know the source of?
Let\'s say it is technically legal (and it may well be) for someone to inject you with PMMA, it\'s still totally unpractical for a Dr to offer the service. The only way to get non Artefill PMMA is if it\'s smuggled into the country. The FDA recently sent out letters to MDs reminding them of their responsibility to ensure the products they offer patients are from FDA approved sources. It would literally be no different to you going into someones home and asking them to do it and signing waivers that rid them of responsibility.
EQstudent claimed \"for a fact\" that he knew 2 Dr\'s were doing non Artefil PMMA injections, but one is Dr M and there is zero evidence of him actually doing it. All he seems to do is want to get guys in for a consult and try and sell them FFT. The other Dr that EQ knows for a fact does PMMA, is Dr Blinski. Even if Dr Blinksi does offer the procedure, to his mind he is breaking the law. He says so himself:
\"The issue with PMMA is not that it can not increase the size but of it\'s sterility and injections techniques. It is not available \"legally\" here in USA. So if you are having it done in the states you should be very concern of where it was obtained, who is injecting, what risks are involved\"

So, whilst EQstudent might think it\'s all hunky dory and above board, the Dr he knows to be doing it, clearly doesn\'t! How can anyone consider it a viable option to go to a Dr who will do a procedure they say isn\'t legal?
@kcchief, if you don\'t mind me asking, do you have some sort of legal issues that prevent you leaving the US?
I can\'t think of any reason why someone prefer to try and get this procedure done in America. Even if it\'s technically legal for someone to inject you, by using a non FDA approved product there would be legal recourse and your insurance wouldn\'t pay if something went wrong. So often I read US Dr\'s advising people getting procedures abroad to due lack or recourse if things go wrong, but in this case, you rights will be exactly the same. So you might as well be in Mexico or Brazil. At least in those countries you\'ll know the source of the product and that it hasn\'t smuggled illegally into the country. Also the Dr will be experienced, as opposed to virtually no experience at all, as is the case in the US. A lot of people see going to South or Central America for medical treatments as crazy, but in this case, it\'s actually more crazy to consider getting it done in the US, as you know for a fact that they guy performing the procedure isn\'t exactly the most above board kind of Dr.
