[QUOTE="Kettlebells, post: 149341, member: 17086"] Trust me, I was worried about infections, extrusion, and scarring. I even voiced my concern to my urologist even though I requested to be put on pellet therapy. He did not push me to use pellet therapy. I paid the compounding pharmacy who made the pellets that were not covered by insurance directly. The compounded pellets were reasonably priced compared to the Testopel pellets. The compounded pellets were shipped directly to me, so I had to take them to the appointment. My doc injected a small amount of local anesthetic, made a tiny incison, inserted a trocar, slid the pellets into place, and sealed the wound with one stitch. The procedure was very quick. My girlfriend holds a BSN and was a practicing nurse for years before moving into management. She was impressed by how tiny the incision was because she watched a YouTube video where a urologist was not so meticulous. The only problem I had was bruising and a tiny bit of soreness, which were to be expected. With that said, I wounder if extrusion is more a function of how and where the pellets are placed. My doc placed the pellets on top of my right cheek where the most fat is on my buttocks. The pellet pile is about 1.5" from where the incision was made. I am guy who routinely throws dissolvable sutures, so I was worried that I was going to be an extruder. [/QUOTE]
