How is PMMA considered safe as part of Bellafill but considered dangerous as used in illegal butt injections?

Question

How can it be safe for face if for the butt I hear it is very dangerous and the moving particles can cause negative symptoms, effects, even death?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

The safety of PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) depends on the context of its use, concentration, and the expertise of the medical professional administering it. Bellafill, an FDA-approved dermal filler, contains PMMA microspheres along with collagen. When used for facial injections by qualified healthcare professionals, following approved protocols, it is considered safe.

On the other hand, illegal butt injections often involve non-medical-grade substances, incorrect procedures, and untrained individuals performing the injections. In such scenarios, the risks of infection, migration, and other complications increase significantly.

Best of luck !
