TOPIC: Infections, Complications, Risks of PMMA?

Snoopy wrote: Having a successful penis result I understand your admiration of Dr C. But I also believe the people you trust most in your life are the ones that can burn you the worst.

And According to the article big ben posted dr lemperle was arrested for hurting a lady and practicing without a medical license. Is this the guy I want to ask for help if the PMMA turns out to be bad, Hell NO ! If you have PMMA and it worked out well, great. But we all have different ideas about what is safe and what is untrustworthy.

PMMA packaging has been shown to patients by request. Your failure to have known this shows your lack of thorough research. You registered yesterday, try to be less presumptuous with your posts.

Professor Lemperle is great to consult/discuss PMMA with, but I wouldn\'t recommend seeking him for any type of actual medical service.

Granted, even those in our personal lives that we love can be untrustworthy, but there must be some rationale to any sort of speculation.

Let\'s face the reality. As someone who reads every single page of every single thread of this forum since its inception - I\'m well acquainted with the forum\'s consensus: while Alloderm/Belladerm are more desirable choices for some, and FFT for others, not a single method has demonstrated the vast amount of data, before & after photos, and apparent short-term success like PMMA penile bioplasty. In a way, this gives it a transparency far ahead of its Phalloplasty-peers.

If this is a method/doctor/product that you find difficulty trusting...then you are in for a heck of a ride.

I too was shown the packaging of NewPlastic during my first procedure. Despite what others may think, Dr. Casavantes is an ethical physician. I am not implying that his procedures are complication free nor that he is without fault. My last procedure I was also shown the Meta<>crill' packaging. Dr. C would never use a bootleg PMMA product. There are some on this forum that presume American doctors are the \"end-all-be-all\" of medical care. Nothing could be further from the truth. In my experience, I received the best medical care in Brazil. US doctors couldn\'t help me. They were undereducated, had nil experience or simply were naive. They showed no initiative to learn about cutting edge techniques from Europe, Asia, Australia and South America. The world is a big place. World class physicians can be found on every continent. Those trusting that our government and FDA/BigPharma have our best interests in mind are fools. These people need to either research about their own country or just keep their blindfold on and continue to worship their PCP/GP.

100% agree miracle. Well said.

Hear, hear
And remember, the notorious Dr. Elist is a practicing American licensed doctor. What does this say about America\'s quality control for its physicians?

MM...

Don\'t get me started buddy! I know several outstanding US physicians in differing areas of expertise/practice. Elist... is NOT one of them. haha

Please read my post in the thread where this accusation was made. I contacted Dr Cs office and he issued a personal response to me that I shared with the forum. This may calm your mind a bit. Here\'s a link to the thread...it is the last post on page one, post #15.

Yes, you are right...There are, off course, many great physicians in the US. Dr. Elist is certainly not one of them
Btw, very cool avatar!

Not to forget our genius Dr.Victor Loria from Florida using his special secret cocktail for permanent or long-acting penile enhancement (a mixture of PMMA+Silikon 1000+Restylane+minerals etc. ???? ) he called it \"Platinum procedure\" and he had never answered our Q.s about the exact ingredients in his cocktail and the conc. of each . Also our friend Irishfan had 2 procedures with him with nil gain.

@ Champcheese,


Thanks for the information :-

\" Your father said after about 15 or 20 years when the material begins to break down it can get pretty \"ugly\". Now this concerned me at first but then I got to thinking on what he may have ment, and from what I know the entire implant breaks down after 15 or 20 years because of mechanical wear.\"

With breakdown your father ment loosening of the prosthesis, which is cemented into the bone with PMMA.He speaks of bone cement, which consists of billions of microspheres, bound together with a hardener (platinum etc.). A single tiny round microsphere (half the diameter of a hair !) cannot break and does not decay. That is the same with artificial teeth, eye lenses or pacemakers, all from PMMA or Plexiglas , which remain sometimes in the body for 50-80 years... And if a tiny microsphere would break (why ? there is no force on it !) it would still remain encapsulated. It is there, to constantly stimulate encapsulation, not inflammation as was mentioned before. We should trust in the FDA , which approved the safest material for the body: PMMA was invented in 1904 near Frankfurt used in dentistry since 1933 and in orthopedics since 1947.

This site would be a good resource for basic Q&A on Meta<>Crill' usage.

I am 1 month post Round 2 using Linnea Safe and I\'ve noticed very prominent spider veins and larger blue veins on my shaft now. They are pretty unattractive. Has anyone else had this problem?

If so, did it resolve itself in time?

I\'ve googled spider veins on penis and it seems it can happen from trauma to the penis. From what I\'ve read there\'s nothing that can be done about it. I\'m concerned that another round will cause more or bigger veins to appear.

They are not painful in any way, just unattractive. If anyone has experienced this I would appreciate hearing from you.

Cheers.

I also have the veins. I have red/purple and blue. It doesnt bother myself or my wife though. To each his own.

Check. Got the spider veins as well. Also can no longer see the large dorsal vein I had pre-op. Not attractive but my wife hasn\'t even commented on it yet. Plus, they\'re hard to see when they\'re in her orifices.

*NOTE* This will not effect your Erection quality. It is superficial and a cosmetic nuisance at best. The 4 main veins supplying blood to the penis are unaffected. Spider vein treatment is an option one might consider if it proves bothersome.

I had the veins previously and they are a bit more pronounced now but I like the way they look - especially when engorged with blood
