I know PMMA fillers aren't actually permanent. This wording is over my head but actually medical studies seem to explain what those selling the product mean by "permanent" is PMMA sticks a dermal filler in your dick that's gonna stay there forever. Like the person above said, removing is unreasonable and requires degloving your penis. Which I have had done and is fine lol, but based on photo evidence from the procedure I wouldn't encourage it.
So PMMA starts with a new dermal filler that increases size decently. But the results will only last about 5 years. That's because it uses a mixture of polymethylmethacrylate and cow fat to produce collagen, but it loses its efficacy eventually. I assume you go back to fill up the dermal filler with that very long science name poly stuff and more cow fat every few years.
Or something. Here's a lot of text from the doctors explaining it:
The effect lasts 5 years:
The microspheres containing PMMA induce your skin to produce its own collagen, which can last up to 5 years.

PMMA is a non-absorbable soft tissue filler that has been preferentially used in some populations because of its permanence. Microspheres of PMMA are encapsulated into granulation tissue, after which collagen and vascular tissue can embed the microspheres.15 Casavantes et al15 reported on their 8-year experience with serial PMMA injections for penile girth enhancement, having performed 1,500 injection procedures on 729 men, including a large number of patients who had previously undergone other girth enhancement procedures. The prescribed treatment regimen resulted in an average increase in penile girth of 2.4 cm, which was sustained in flaccid, stretched, and erect states (as measured by patients). Interestingly, patients also experienced an increase in flaccid length of 0.7 cm, which the authors attribute to the stiffness of the PMMA implant, begging the question about the ability of this filler material to create a natural, supple feeling penile shaft in the flaccid state. Indeed, a majority of patients (52%) reported nodularity, ridges, irregularity, indentations, or voids in tissue filler (Figure 2). Satisfaction surveys were returned by 203 (28%) patients, of whom 168 (83%) were satisfied, and 17% were either not satisfied or dissatisfied. The authors briefly alluded to the potential difficulty and radical surgery required to remove a PMMA implant, which was the unfortunate reality for 1 patient presenting with severe penile deformity, erectile dysfunction, pain during intercourse and diffuse penile fibrosis after one PMMA injection, ultimately necessitating complex reconstruction (Figure 3).73
