can artefill be mixed with newplastic or precise PMMA?
Artefill

Hi,
Can artefill (here in USA) be mixed with newplastic or precise PMMA (the pmma offered by Clinica estetica or dr. casavantes in brazil/tijuana) ? Meaning can the artefill filler be injected into a nose or buttocks that already has newplastic/precise PMMA?

since artefill is just medical pmma with bovine collagen and the other pmma is mixed with water gel - injecting artefill over newplastic / metacrill / precise should be ok ?

Thanks

dibo

For safety reasons the Artefill should not be mixed with any other permanent filler. You need to check on the lab that makes the PMMA that you got, to see what are the indications and (more)

I had a terrible experience with Casavantes in tijuana several years ago. He injected my butt with pmma and the results are horrible. Trust me you do not want to go to that clinic regardless of how cheap it is.
