Acell is not the same as cymetra. I am the one getting acell next week from Dr. Houser. I wanted to keep a low profile until I had the procedure because I did not want Dr. Houser's phone to blow up before I had it done.

Dr. Houser has told me the following and I quote: "Acell has many growth factors which Cymetra does not have. As it is porcine it does cause some swelling. I have seen it work in 4 of 4 patients thus far. It flows into tissue better than Cymetra, but given the foreign issue I tend to suggest it more for cases where Cymetra is want to rupture and provide less benefit than the Acell might. sh"

He told me the swelling is temporary.

Regarding him being on hiatus.  I was seeing him in regards to this before the thing with Erika went down so that may be why he allowed me to do the procedure.  I cannot speak for him though 

I will let everone know how it goes.
