TOPIC: Southern California Providers?

Is there any SoCal providers offering PMMA? Dr Liu is in NorCal now only. I don’t care to check out Emer. Seems
Options are limited in SoCal besides going to AD

I don't believe he offers PMMA but it wouldn't hurt to reach out and see what options are available with Dr. Tsay . He is well-reviewed with respect to his work in injectable enhancements, and has been a specialist in penile augmentation (mainly girth) for a better part of this decade --> ageless-md.com

@Dr_Tsay is right in the middle of SoCal (OC) and is well-acquainted with PMMA, even if he doesn't offer it (don't quote me on that, since sometimes Clinics can & do change policies and/or methodologies over time, while others are successful with a particular niche they've mastered... it's really all about what they learn from what works best for them and their patients). If he wishes to respond he might be able to share what he's currently offering this year.

Thanks for the shoutout. Unfortunately I do not offer PMMA for GE. I use it for other skin conditions which it has been FDA approved and determined safe and effective for. Ive decided for personal reasons not to use PMMA for male enhancement. I have now personally heard of three cases of complications of PMMA that were catastrophic and required extensive years of treatment to fix. Although this is extremely rare, I would hate to be the provider where this had happened to the patient. Although the majority of everyone will be perfectly fine, and I am not against other providers offering it, I just would not want to be the one provider where this complication happens to one of my patients. It would be a career killer for me.

My 2 cents.

Hi Dr,
Would you mind elaborating on the cases of adverse PMMA outcomes you're familiar with? Thank you.

Also chiming in here to give kudos to Dr. Tsay. He's really a master of his craft. Let me know if you have any questions if you are cosidering HA filler.

I dont want to be a fear mongerer or spoil it for the practitioners that are offering PMMA to their patients. I've had close personal colleague share with me a case of delayed diffuse inflammatory nodules that occured 1 year post injection in the face that happened to a patient that received 6-8 syringes total of Bellafill over a few sessions. It has taken three years and multiple dozens of treatments to finally bring this patient back to a reasonable state. Apparently, their face looked like leprosy. This same doctor then shared that he knew two other excellent doctors that had similar types of reactions from their patients. I had also experienced a completely disfigured penis after PMMA injections sent from some clinic in Mexico that was beyond what I could do to help the poor patient. This case was probably related to injector technique, but nevertheless, the only way to remedy was a surgical correction. We are talking about a very, very extremely small percentage of cases; however, I would hate to be the provider that this case happened to, because you never know how people's body or immune system will react to the PMMA

Again, I don't mean to be a party pooper, and I am sure most patients will be perfectly fine. This is just a personal decision that I have made to not offer PMMA injections for breast enhancement for my patients for now. A small pea-size nodule here and there is not a big deal, and I definitely can handle those, but diffused nodules everywhere is not something that I ever look forward to dealing with.
