Dennis, it does make you wonder if the Macrolane will be absorbed evenly. But the doctors aren't worried, that's why they have "top-off" procedures to add some cc's here or there. Not to mention that how does anyone know that Macrolane will stay in the breast area? It could most definitely spread all over the body, and then what would happen? Nice cellulite lumps appear? And that's not to mention any health problems that could arise. F1rst Kiss, this is the milder version of the video I originally found. The first video, the one that You Tube has already deleted as inappropriate, was awfully brutal. The doctor was jabbing and jabbing and jabbing the breasts (think of reverse lipo in the breast)...there was also no calming music to disalarm you. Gloria, I loved your comparison to other products that already exist in the body. I had not thought about it (salt and sugar, etc.), but too much of something is never a good idea, and can result in disease. This product is definitely something to watch. ~Kacey You guys make some good points. Dennis, it does make you wonder if the Macrolane will be absorbed evenly.

I could hardly watch it to completion (and it was only 3 minutes long). Not to mention that there are now two new ''scars'' (poke holes) that I'm certain no 'beauty conscious' victim... uh, I mean 'subject'... would want to be seen dead in a 2-piece bathing suit with.

It sounds like someone just 'designed' the reverse of fat removing procedures and then found something that 'should' work. The upkeep is a nice way to pay for the doctors continuing boat payments too.

They have no idea what this 'substance', that is supposedly already found in the body, will in the long term do to the breast tissue. Once again, I see they are saying this is completely safe. Wonder how long it will be before we hear that women are becoming ill from this procedure or experiencing complications. As for the botox, well I wouldn't inject that anywhere let alone my breasts!!!

Sugar exists in our body, so does salt, and too much of either leads us to diabetes or dehydration and death.
