TOPIC: Bellafill on top of an AMS implant

As you can probably see from the measurements Flaccid/Erect - there isn’t much of a difference. Visually, not to be simplistic, but it’s very natural looking. If you’re asking if the fill shifts or is lumpy - the answer is ‘no.’

The trick in avoiding fill displacement and curing is within the first 7 days post treatment. If doctor’s instructions are followed (shaping, warm baths), it works - at least it did for me.

Obviously, I’m not any kind of expert on this topic. But from a layman’s perspective, I look at Bellafill as a quasi-permanent alternative to hyaluronic fill; where your body responds by encouraging collagen growth.

Please ask other questions if I didn’t quite get or address what you wanted to know.

donwfree, thank you for updating this progress report.

I have a coloplast titan, and I'm considering HA, Ellanse, and PMMA.

Did your implant surgeon have any concerns about PMMA? Mine says he doesnt like it because it can supposedly cause complications during implant revisions. That being said, he has successfully implanted guys with PMMA many times, so doesnt seem to be a that big of an issue.

I like the permanency of PMMA. Looking to get .5-.75" in.

Did Carney use a blunt tip canula or just inject with a needle?

Did you stay down in Atlanta for a full week to recover and do follow up appointments?

@donwfree . How many ml of Bellafil did you get in total?

@MoMoney -

Did Carney use a blunt tip canula or just inject with a needle?
- I really don’t know. He used a numbing injection, not unlike when a doctor has to stitch up a wound.

Did you stay down in Atlanta for a full week to recover and do follow up appointments?
- No, not a full week. The first time, I stayed overnight and flew home. The next appts, I flew in and out on the same day.

Did your implant surgeon have any concerns about PMMA?
- I never had a discussion with my implant surgeon about it.

@ou812
How many ml of Bellafil did you get in total?

- A total of 24ml over all treatments. First visit 4ml and then another 4ml, 3 months later. A double fill (8ml) one year later and another 8ml in the most recent treatment.

Just wanted to say thank you for all of the info here. As a guy with a coloplast implant, it makes going into this a lot easier.

I highly considered PMMA with Carney. Going with Ellanse with AD but I must admit the ease of just driving down to Atlanta seems highly appealing. Maybe if Ellanse goes well I will just get PMMA in the future.
