Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 An infection with scupltra would be due to the injection site, and most likely be minor. With Bio alcamid you have a permanent liquid filler that can host the infection. Also once sculptra is absorbed there is no risk of any infection, with Bio Alcamid the risk is permanently present. In regard to granulomas, they can be melted with injections of cortisone and they are really a minor problem in comparison with having lypodistrophy. Granted it would be best to have better solutions, but as of now we do not. In my opinion, given the plus and minus of all 3 products, sculptra has the least side effects given the non permanent nature of the product, while PMMA offers a permanent solution without risks of infections. While Bio Alcamid offers immediate results but from what I have heard and the pictures I have seen at 3 doctors office can migrate or become infected. What would be interesting to find out and only time will tell, is what kind of consequences there will be with the use of long term implants. And because aging causes skin to loosen up or as Dr. Englehart used to say " Gravity always takes its toll " which implant will hold better and which one will migrate the most, especially when it comes to the buttocks, after all we do sit on it.
