Hello Kenny, Sorry for the late response. How is your face looking now? You can post in the comments or send them to me at advocate829@gmail.com. Thanks for sharing. David
Hi all, I had Dr. C give me the first PMMA treatment 2 weeks ago and wanted to give everyone a update, just in case you are interested in doing it. Right after treatment I looked great, swelling of course the 3rd and 4th day swelling gone and body absorbed most 80% of filler, remember 20% PMMA and 80% collagen. I wrote a Wade and Diana, part of Dr. C's team that I was sad my cheeks were gone, they explained, it is normal and the remaining PMMA my body would build collagen around it. Sad, but hopeful. I did look better then before, so as long as it stays at least this, I am happy. Oh, just a note, I was stage 2 wasting on face. So all of you can compare. So I am into it my 3rd week, good but not great, I am not a Dr. Just someone sharing my experience and will update again in 3 to 4 weeks. I tried keeping short and simple. Hoped it could help. Email me if you have questions or want more info. Love, Kenny ru4real2006@yahoo.com
arrrrgh I just wrote a reply and tried to attach images of my current face and lost all the text. Long story short, skip the PMMA treatment it created unwanted bumps and go for Sculptra. It last for 6 to 8 months and it's covered by Medicare. If it not available where you live just spend a weekend in a city where there's lots of dermatologist that specialize in Sculptra. It's cheaper and you're really like the outcome. I can send you images of my face so you can see the bumps I was talking about. You can email your address to advocate829@gmail.com Hope this was helpful. :)
Hi David, can you please give me an update on how the treatment went with you? I want to go and have it done, but want some feedback. THANK YOU.
Hi David, how did it go? How do you look? Was it expensive? I also have horrible cheeks and looking for help badly. Thank you for any and all info you can share. Love, kenny
Good luck with the new face -- don't listen to all the horror stories about permanent filler -- it will give you a new lease on life. Have had mine for 7 years. I do want to let you know a couple of things: other permanent fillers were problematic under certain conditions, but now we know what those conditions are. If you go for dental work where they might scrape the inside of the cheek, get antibiotics first. Don't roughly prod the implant, even many years after the procedure -- even small amounts of push/pull force can cause the mass to move in the cheek, and also get inflamed, which can make you think you have an infection. This happened to me, but it went away -- don't rush to have it removed. Also: expect some on/off again edema (periodic swelling) around the site. This can be hormonal etc. Enjoy!
Hi David, I was wondering if you still like the look and effects of treatment after all these years? Have you had to have more done? Thank you. :)

Hi All, had my second treatment just a week ago. I am waiting another week or two for my face to settle in and I can see the final outcome. As usual Dr. C and his team were awesome. My only concern was I paid for 6 needles and Dr. C used 9 so I had to pay for 3 more before leaving, so everyone be prepared on second treatment it could be more from needing more. This treatment has made me feel great. I am hoping it will last, David C told me he has not had luck and his has all gone away leaving him bumps on his face. Any questions, he is awesome and answers them. If anyone wants to ask me anything just give me a shout. I wish everyone peace and love. Kenny :) ru4real2006@yahoo.com
