Can acetone dissolve PMMA beads in Artefill?

June 20, 2015
Asked By:lovelygirl94 in Sacramento, CA

I had an injection of Artefill to my nose bridge but the doctor injected to the 2 sides of my bridge instead of injecting it into the center of my nose bridge. She said it was to build the bridge but after a few weeks, my nose bridge look wider. Some articles that acetone can dissolve the PMMA and it can be absorbed by our skin into the dermis layer of the skin. Is this method possible?
