I'm a 52 yr old male and had the pellets inserted twice. I'm replying to warn you about using the pellets. I had them inserted for a second time and developed a staph infection within 36 hours. It abscess within 48 hours. I was hospitalized for 4 days, had surgery and spent the next 2 months with home health care every other day and going to a wound care clinic weekly. Very painful.
After $12,000 (after insurance) in medical bills and a hole in my hip, Dr. Tutera's response was "infections are always a possibility".
I have since discovered that the pellets are made in a compound pharmacy and there is no way to make the pellets sterile.
After the way Sottopelle treated me, buyer beware.
