Thinning Skin, Showing PMMA

[Guest guest]

O.K. I was feeling rather comfortable after following on

here and hearing of peoples experience with PMMA and having made an

appointment for next November for my Face and Butt with Dr. Casavantes.

But now am worried about what I am hearing now that if you lose weight the PMMA

will show in your face. I just lost 24lbs through eating healthier,

I am naturally slim but had gained a belly and wanted to lose it.

It’s My experience that my skin is thinner also.

I have been getting Sculptra for 5 years now. I am now worried about

using PMMA for my face. How bad does it look when you lose weight? How

much weight loss does it take to see the PMMA showing? I have enough Self

Esteem Issues with Body changes that I need some reassurance about using PMMA

for my face. Please, if anyone can share with me their

experience , if this has happened to them I would greatly appreciate it. This

is really important to me and my over all mental well being!

Thanks Jeff

No, it's not nonsense,

because it's been my experience too. It's not a question of the PMMA or

Silicone " surfacing " . If you continue to experience fat loss in

your face, the injected PMMA or silicone is slightly more obvious and lumpy

because there's less surrounding it. So in some people it leaves the face

with a not-as-smooth look.

Also, I don't know about the dermis in non-HIV+ people, but my skin is

definitely thinner in the face region. Actually, this is a side-effect

that's pretty common in HIV+ people, and pretty easy to spot (at least for

other poz people-- we know it when we see it).
