Is it safe to inject Metacrill into the nose as a filler? (photo)

Question

After two disappointing very rhinoplasty operations with Roman Kufa from Perfect Clinic in Prague, I contacted the surgeon to explain my results, and he said that now he will inject some Metacrill to fill the curved dorsum and make it straighter. I cant find anything online about it, is this stuff safe to use?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

"Metacrill" may be a form of poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA). In the US, the product may be called ArteFill which is comprised of 75% collagen and 25% PMMA. Some surgeons like PMMA, but it has a long history of eliciting an inflammatory response.In our practice, our experience is with Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results.All the best to you.Dr. Joseph

There are not much options or choices with permanent fillers, we only have PMMA (Artefill and Metacrill), Polyacrylamide Hydrogel (Aquamid), Liquid Silicone, and Polyalkylimide (Bioalcamid).All these can give a good and safe result at a conservative amount of injection, however, polyacrylamide is the only one that can be removed relatively easily if unwanted.
