the prices for HA are really low, like incredibly low. i would for sure want to see the packets that the syringes came out of to be sure they are juvederm at that price for 10 !! that is seriously half the price it costs here.

also, different HA brands are very different materials - in terms of consistency, longevity etc. there is a reason those more expensive ones are more expensive and its not only down to effective marketing by the reps.

i went back to see my doc today and got another 6cc. will see how that turns out over the coming week and post more pictures. he didnt want to put as much as 6 in as he said it really wasnt needed and 3 was more than enough. but he did the 6 cos i kind of insisted.

also, he was much more interested in talking this time so we were discussing other techniques and he told me he does FFT and has for many years. techniques have apparently improved over the years but results are still variable. however he has had patients that lasted 6 years with a good result. interestingly he said some patients just arent suitable for it - they dont have enough fat or the right fat or they just metabolise fat really effectively. and for example, he said looking at me that he could more or less tell that i would metabolise it quickly because i naturally dont have much fat on me anyway. and also that it would be hard to lipsuction enough of the right fat out of me to start with. while he would be happy to do FFT it would need to be with the right patient as he doesnt want a poor result or complications, so HA is often the best option.

i think with all these options there are so many variables. one thing he will not do is anything permanent like PMMA as he has done lots of operations trying to get it out of women who had it put in their cheeks or backside and then doing reparatory surgery.

interestingly he does gender reassignment surgery and serious full on surgery stuff. i think he just does this cosmetic stuff for aesthetic interest !

I will eventually go with Dr. Heller but first i want to continue my "Do it yourself goal' and if my Dick turns out with weird shaping all I'll do is set up a date to have the doc do the procedure.
