TOPIC: Infections, Complications, Risks of PMMA?

Hello PB brothers. I have discovered a lump under my base. I also have some \"hard lines\" around the base top and bottom. In fact they are noticeable enough for a chick to take note and ask me about it. Did anyone else experience this or have lumps or anything like this?

ndbig1, how big is your lump? And when was your last rd?

@smartman, its not huge but its noticeable. Its maybe a .25 Inch or so. I will try to post a pic . I had one round 12/10/11.

@smartman, the lump is much like ntuxpb\'s pic in hos post \"feb 17th PMMA\" thread. Mine look almost exactly the same.

*Fixed post. M7

I think in your next rd Dr.C. will use Kenalog injection for this lump, it will soften it and the lump will become smaller till it disappears completely.

@smartman, thanks for the advice, I will ask Dr. C for that.
@M7 thanks for fixing the post.

@ndbig1, you are absolutely welcome bro, usually Kenalog/5FU injection is advised every 4wks until the nodules or the lumps or the FBGs are totally disappeared and he has to increase the dose in the next session if there was no improvement with the previous one.
N.B. Don\'t massage the lump directly after the injection because there is a risk of this Kenalog (intra-lesional steroid) going superficially to the skin ---> skin Atrophy.

There is now a new study (2012) about the possibility of pmma beads (e.g. Metacrill) migration :-
www.isrn.com/journals/dermatology/aip/609158/
You just need to open the Provisional PDF .

Results: Characteristic microspheres were not observed that were compatible with the presence of PMMA in any of the histological slides analyzed. Conclusion: The histopathological analysis of this study found no PMMA microspheres in any of the tissues analyzed.

SM,

Who would have the expertise to inject Kenalog to address a granuloma in the absence of Dr. C? If someone were in Europe or Asia, would the person need to return to a practitioner specializing in this very specific procedure (PMMA in the penis), would it be enough qualification that the physician is experienced of injecting PMMA, or would a more general credential be ok? Traveling back and forth from another country every four weeks might be very difficult to coordinate.

Thanks Smartman for the link! Seems that migration is not to be feared too much...
Talking about Kenalog - Dr. C gave me a shot to soften the hard ridge I had at the top - which I think will work. But there is a little dark spot now at the site of the injection. Would you think it is just bruising or is it a sign of skin Atrophy?

@Zayne,
There is one famous Dr. in Paris, she has a great experience and one of the best in treating Granulomas in Europe ( I have mentioned about her in this thread post no. 287) .

I will try to make a new thread after I get more names of doctors e.g in Canada, USA, Asia and Australia.
It is v. important to find an experienced doctor near to your area who has a great knowledge in treating Granulomas e.g the usage of Kenalog +/- 5FU every 4 wks and the doc. should increase the dose in the next rd if there was no improvement, surgery should be avoided .
@ Capital,
Actually Kenalog injection can cause the opposite whitening of the skin overlying the injected area esp. in dark skin people and not darkening, the reason for the darkening in your case it could be mostly due to the trauma of the skin from the needle that what had happened to me in the 2nd rd around mid-shaft where the entry hole was (for the pmma) and still I have this small hyperpigmented area ( it is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation ) but it could be only due to bruises in your case which will be only temporary.
BTW don\'t massage the injected area where the kenalog is.
Actually Kenalog injection should be started earlier (i.e. 4-8 wks after pmma) with 4 wks intervals.
Kenalog injection is better to be used before the 6 months period to get the best result, e.g. in Keloids after this period the scar tissues will be fully formed and the benefit of kenalog will be less after this period. But it doesn\'t mean that there will be no benefit of using kenalog after 6 months.

Hello there! I just recently came across this site and boy is there a lot of info.... I was part of the old site about 4 years ago and back then silicon injections was big in Mexico TJ. But after careful consideration and the lack of good before and after pictures I just waited until technology comes up with a better solution. Especially when people go over crazy with the silicone and end up with a blob/cobra looking penis. And now it seems like PMMA \"might\" be the way to go.

I also wanted to thank all the administrators and phallo community for gathering so much info for newbies like me. I want to especially thank skeptical one for sharing your personal story with us.

I myself have a few questions that maybe someone can shed some light on to. Please excuse me if someone had already asked and been answered. Reading this particular section of the forum of all 26 pages is a lot to absorb in a day...

1) what is the difference between the different brand name pmmas such as new plastic vs artefill vs sculptra ? Especially being injected in the penis?

2) has anyone who had PMMA injection experience retraction of the penis? Did you have to stretch it right after the injection or the following weeks to prevent bunching up I guess...?

3) i know the US hasn\'t approved of this penis enlargement yet they approve of artefill for the face... Why is this?

4) I want to hop on the plane tomorrow and get it done, but I learned being hasty sometimes cost you big time. Has anyone know is Dr.C is improving his techniques since he\'s gotten so many patients?

5) I myself is on the smaller average size. 5.5 only... If I\'m really aroused maybe 6... But I\'m lacking in grith... Even wearing a slugger fit slips off.. Which is so embarrassing. That is why ive always wanted to enhance my size. Not going over crazy mind you, but be normal. The question is I do have this big vein/artery in my penis... Would it be a problem you think with the PMMA?

And thanks again for this forum! It brought a big smile to my face now knowing there is hope for me. Alloderm sounded Invasive, dr. Elist implant doesn\'t sound too promising, silicone injection didn\'t look too natural and cutting the ligament only increase my length slightly if I do the excercise regularly.... Therefore I think PMMA sounds like the most obvious choice at the moment. I think I can live with the length of my penis but not the thinness of it...

Thanks!

P.s. I apologize if I don\'t make sense .. It\'s 7:51 am in the morning and I didn\'t sleep yet...still excited about the new hope.
