The biggest risk is that of dying from the product getting into your blood vessels and traveling to your lungs in the form of a P.E. (Pulmonary Embolus) The other, and most common complications are pain, lumps and infection. Also, as Dr Blinski said, it isn't FDA approved for use here in the USA. If it was proven to be safe, it most likely would be. If you asked questions of your doctor, I'm sure he or she told you these things. Hopefully the person who injected you was a Doctor? And, hopefully they told you about these risks. If not, I strongly suggest you contact them to discuss these things further with them. If they were not a physician, I suggest that you contact the authorities in your area. (less) |

So if you are having it done in the states you should be very concern of where it was obtained, who is injecting, what risks are involved. It is not a good idea to have PMMA injected into your buttock. No research done. The Macrolane in Europe has more research and is a better "off Label" use. (less) |

You seem to have blindly trusted the person who performed the injection for you without asking or being told the risks. I suggest that you ask your doctor who performed the procedure for you these questions now. You have chosen to augment your buttocks using a method that is not FDA approved and which is considered tom have one of the highest complication rates of all of the options. This is a procedure which is usually performed by non-plastic surgeons. We usually only take care of the complications. Talk to your doctor! (less) |

It's a very common procedure here in Brazil. Unfortunately some people had necrosis by the use of PMMA. It's a risk because while some people had necrosis, other people got nice results, but there is no studies of how the PMMA will work over a long time. I wanted to apply it on my butt, but besides very expensive (can cost up to R$20k, which is around $11k),I can loose skin on my butt from the necrosis... just very scary.

For your information I did ask a lot of questions before and I did do a lot of research. I only now recently discovered this site and I am having some not so pleasant side effects so I asked a question. And I am not one to make trouble.
