How serious should I be taking macrolane?

I know it's not available yet anyway but how credible is it going to be for breast enhancement?

I think this is a wait and see situation. It sounds like a good solution to me, except that it doesn't last that long. I've heard a year but I've also heard 2 or 3 years. I think we need more definite information.

I first heard about this many years ago, maybe as long ago as 1999. It seems to have taken a lot longer to develop than was originally expected. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work though.

What is this macrolane? Is it some kind of breast implant or implant material?

It's an injectable filler, not an implant. The substance is hyaluronic acid in gel form. It's the same as Restylane that is used for filling in wrinkles in the face, only with larger components to make it more firm in the consistency. Still on trial though, isn't it? Needs refilling every so often so it's not permanent.

I'd love to have this done, I heard on another post that you only get a small increase - does anyone know if this is true? What about side-effects?

Nobody can answer your questions because the macrolane filler for breast enhancement is not available yet. The same company do have a material which is approved for use in surgical operations to correct breast deformity, but this is not suitable for ordinary breast enhancement. Until they have perfected the filler for breast enhancement and it becomes available for use, it's not possible to determine how much the potential increase will be, but the press releases talk about increases of about a cup size.

I think this macrolane will be available before very long, maybe just a year or two. However I can't help feeling sceptical about how effective it's going to be. The reason for this is that the filler they are using is similar to what's used in lips for example. Now a friend of mine had lip injections using one of these newly created fillers, supposedly a great technical advance, and the effect on her only lasted for 3 days. After that you could see quite clearly that her lip size was gradually reducing, back to where it started from. So although this macrolane may work well for some women, I'm quite sure there are going to be those who just don't get any real benefit from it at all. Put it this way, I'm not expecting this to put the breast implant companies out of business.

I don't believe it's safe. HA within one's own body is obviously fine, but there is evidence that injecting it from outside sources can cancer-causing. I won't even use skin care that contains it. JMHO.

There is currently no macrolane product for breast enhancement and at the moment it hasn't got beyond the pilot study stage. I think we're talking about something which doesn't even exist at the moment. It could still be several years away, although I'm sure it will come eventually. Women will do it too, even if it costs several thousand euros and only lasts a year. I can definitely see women thinking that it's a good option.

Personally the fact that it absorbs is almost comforting in case they come out huge and round and hard, also if your body can break it down the substance can't be too toxic. I would happily pay that every year but I think it's supposed to last 2-3.

I think this macrolane will turn out to work quite well. I don't think it will have any problems associated with it particularly. On the other hand I think the amount of increase you get will be modest.

Macrolane when it's eventually available is going to be more expensive than having breast implants.

Anyone tried macrolane?

I was browsing the net last night and found quite a few clinics doing it in London.
They inject a filler into your breast and it fills it out and usually increases the volume by about a cup size. The only downside I could see what that is only last about 14 months and then you need a top up. It is also expensive.
The effects looked good, though.
Even though they inject hyaluronic acid, and apparently the body already contains loads of this so therefore doesnt treat it as a foreign substance, it is slightly worrying that you have to put something in your body every year or so, but it looks great.
I hope it goes down in price, and has more of a profile, then I'd definitely do it.

Have you got any links for the London clinics?

From the way you describe it, the injections can't make your breasts actually bigger, but what they do is fill out the volume of what you already have? But what if you're existing type is small but full?

I used Brava and got swelling to about G cup, maybe you could try that if needed to make the skin more stretchy, I ended up going from small B to decent C cup while losing about 15 lbs and I din't get stretch marks.

I don't see why this would replace breast implants. The way I look at it, with implants you can go a lot bigger and it will last a lot longer. I bet in future there will be a lot more women still having implants than these injections. Plus in the long run implants are going to work out a lot less cost than the macrolane.

But this is much much much safer and the result will look and feel more natural. Also it wears off so if you don't like them then they'll go away.

It's much safer but more expensive in the long run. The key thing is how big you want to go. With macrolane the size increase is limited to a cup size at best, with implants you can have whatever you want.

It's not been PROVEN to be safer just yet. I think women having macrolane done now are guinea pigs.

Why wouldn't it be safe? It's 100% hyaluronic acid. hyaluronic acid can be found in our connective, epithelial, and neural tissues. It is an important component of articular cartilage, where it is present as a coat around each cell , it is also a major component of skin, where it is involved in tissue repair. The goo inside an eyeball consists partly of hyaluronate too.

Now... where is the danger?

I didn't say it wasn't safe. I said it hasn't been PROVEN to be safe. Different statement entirely.

Has breathing been proven 100% safe? Perhaps you should hold your breath until it has been.

As many cosmetic surgeons have pointed out, this kind of material has never been injected into breasts before, so it seems sensible to reserve judgement on it and see in the fullness of time whether it' s actually safe or not. If it shows no harmful effects then it's safe, in which case so much the better.

At the present time, Macrolane is only available in Europe and Japan. But it's bound to reach Mexico eventually, since Mexico is one of the biggest countries in the world for cosmetic enhancements.
