TOPIC: Latest pathology shows 80-90% PMMA in my tissue vs. a normal pattern with Metacrill

Awesome input to the forum.

Am I mistaken or is it the Linneasafe in top photo where the beads all look perfectly sized? And is it the metacrill in the predominant part of the lower photo, where the beads are random sizes and poorly spaced.

Assuming that is the case, I thought the Linneasafe looked better in the photos, based on particle size consistency and placement.

Smalljay, I didn\'t change anything in this session from the first 2 rounds of metacrill. I went back the next 2-3 days to get additional massing. We could already feel a lump hardening on top and they told me to keep massaging it. That particular one turned hard extremely fast...and was not possible to massage out at all (it\'s still hard to this day 1.5 years later). Also, all the product that went under my shaft (that later got cut out surgically) was not going anywhere, even though I constructed a whole device with a stretcher and rubber bands and gauze pads to try to \"push\" that material out from under my shaft. This is when I saw the log by jonthomas who also had a bunch of PMMA right under his shaft in the same area. It never moved after the procedure was done. Once it was there, it was there. I would say this round was less amenable to massage than 1 and 2, where usually lumps could be massaged out.

Richard, everyone is different but IMO if you are over 5.0\" in Girth, it is a bad idea. Their own publication says that 52% of patients have lumps. PMMA causes lumps in the lips in 7% of patients and was completely abandoned for use in the lips...at a 7% complication rate.

I had 3 different appt\'s with Dr C. After seeing and reading of the real issues with PMMA the Dr C injects, plus reading about after many patients after spending the money and had issues were professionally addressed. No emails, phone calls returned etc. My main worry if issues like Restoration had plus many other I had to give up my deposit. The risks out number the possible issues.

When I had Mrs. Bum Bum\'s lawyer, they said this to me. I hired them in Brazil to sue Lebon for the defective PMMA, not Avanti - as I still do not believe Avanti is at fault when I look at the slides. I remain convinced the product had a problem, particularly since I reacted so strangely in weeks 1-2 vs. metacrill. It was an expert witness statement in Mrs. Bum Bum\'s case (about the saline or CMC) - but it was in context of a larger deposition he gave (not in English, but I had a few people read it and translate it clearly to English, aside from google translate).

In the first 2 weeks, the PMMA wasn\'t surrounded by much collagen yet - just early inflammatory cells. It was still immature and could have been \"washed out\" per this one doctor / witness. That\'s only 1 doctor\'s opinion, and he could have been wrong - but if the 6 entry points were opened again and filled with 30-50 cc saline or CMC and then allowed to drain out for many days, it seems logical that it would\'ve diluted down the Linnea Safe...at least, logical to me. Working with this firm was not easy as I do not speak Portuguese and they were very expensive. So, I just got bits and pieces of info (some I cannot share unfortunately - but it\'s not that interesting anyway) and then I felt like it was enough. An actual lawsuit against Lebon would cost 10k (minimum) in fees, court costs and travel expenses and I wouldn\'t win for a variety of reasons (cosmetic procedures are seen as \"you did it to yourself\" in a judge / jury\'s mind, proving I had a \"bad batch\" is very difficult from pathology alone, the Ryan Lochte thing happened and I don\'t think Americans are viewed well there, and I would\'ve had to have Dr. C fly to Rio to testify - at my own expense and then I\'d have to pay thousands for his testimony if he even agreed to do it which is asking a LOT - most doctors won\'t even testify in cases down the street.) So, I dropped it, but I got some info in the process, like that statement... and I spent some money that didn\'t really go anywhere, but it was an avenue I wanted to explore at the time.
