    Artecoll is a gel suspension of 20% polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) 30- to 42-micron microspheres, 3.5% collagen derived from cows, and 0.3% lidocaine. [1] [2] The PMMA microspheres in Artecoll are not absorbed by the body and therefore provide a permanent scaffold into which the person's own soft tissue can grow; the PMMA microspheres can only be removed by cutting them out.
