PMMA is actually tiny GLASS BEADS, coated in Cow Collagen
Although PMMA is Not Cement, it is the major component in the Cement used for orthopaedic procedures, such as the cement used to hold artificial hips and knees in place.
PMMA Should Not be used in the buttocks. It feels hard, and lumpy, can get infected. Also if it gets into your blood vessels, it can travel to your lungs and kill you. Foreign material injected into the buttocks as a quick fix has been a problem for years. You may have heard about the recent death of Miss Argentina...

Artefill is not Cement
Lyari,
I will assume that you are referring to a product known as Artefill, which is a combination of PMMA microspheres and bovine collagen, not the PMMA that plastic surgeons have had experience with in the skull and facial bone reconstruction arena. Artefill is approved in the US by the FDA for soft tissue injection in the face for the correction of nasolabial folds. The material handles very nicely, is smoothly injected from prepackaged syringes and provides near permanent results. ...

No and it is dangerous too
Injection of any material that is not biodegradable is not a good idea. PMMA has been used for the reconstruction of the skull with mixed results, but when injected into soft tissue ,it will cause reaction. I have seen patients traveling to Europe for these injections and having very bad result. The sad thing is that we can help these patients since the injected material is not in one spot and it is impossible to remove it. Please look into fat grafting if you like to have butt enlargement...

PMMA for Buttock Augmentation
Using PMMA or any other permanent substance for Buttock Augmentation has two main problems: 1) If the "surgeon" is using the real thing then the cost would be prohibitive for most any patient to afford (eg. $150,000.00+) and 2) Permanent fillers are just not safe for buttock augmentation because of the potential for severe hardening, infection, migration/movement of the material, etc... Buttock Augmentation is possible but stick with tried and true methods such as...

PMMA and Buttock Augmentation
Dear Lyari,
Let's use the Socratic method. Does Polymethyl Methacrylate really BELONG in the buttocks? If so, why didn't God or Evolution (you choose...) put it there?
For those of you who do not know, PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) is an epoxy-like cement widely used to fix and secure orthopedic (knee, hip, shoulder) joints in bones.
PMMA comes in powder form and when mixed with saline solution (and any antibiotics you may), it becomes a sticky honey-like gel which gives off heat and sets into

Cement in the butt
Does injecting cement into the butt sound like a good idea to you?? If it does, I wonder why.
I would turn and run from anybody proposing that to you for all the reasons stated by the other doctors.

Don't even think about it!
Butt augmentation is not a good procedure, especially putting foreign bodies there. You will have nothing but problems. Even fat injections can be dangerous. Bad idea.
