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

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 !
