Asked By:DeoSnake in New York, New York

Hi I have been reading about using a certain laser technique that would effectively remove most or some of the PMMA. I understand its not all of it but this is a new technique I have read about. I found the article about it and the clinic that practices removing PMMA in Brazil. They use a subdermal, intralesional nd: YAG laser in combination with a blunt liposuction cannula of 2.0-2.5 mm in diameter to take out the PMMA. Is this procedure worth the try?
