On medication, it sounds like the medication you take causes you retraction. Which I dealt/deal with, generally. So I think it makes sense for them to suggest that you do not mix it with the meds they'll give you because the goal is for the product to settle evenly/smoothly. I took take supplements (for mind/function, and for weight lifting, as suggested by Huberman), and besides losing some mass and gaining a bit of flabbiness, I was able to regain looking solid within a few weeks after week 3 and back to my exercise schedule no problem. As for the retraction itself, I wore my ball stretcher consistently for about 6 weeks to help ensure a great end result. I bought collagen (for collagen production - although the consensus is mixed on this, and talafadil - which helped with maintaining blood flow; it's like a less prescribed alternative to viagra) while I was in TJ and it was a good decision, since the guys on here say that it really helped with healing and achieving solid results. For the
Hanger, I wore it while walking mostly and when working from home while standing (have a standing desk). This is by far the most important thing you can do during those first couple of weeks, keeping it stretched. I know some guys on here have complained that the product would bunch up and you end up with a series of lumps. Just be consistent, that's what I learned overall. And be careful that the frequent use might cause some sensitivity and sting for a bit around the glans and shaft. To resolve this, I used pieces of their wrapping tape to wrap around the part where the noose hangs because it will irritate your skin those fist couple of weeks.
Regarding Phallotox itself, that was/is the best thing to deal with retraction. I highly recommend you go with the option that includes this. This is because, if you are dealing with retraction, the product might migrate to just one area of the shaft instead of the areas where they took the time to inject it evenly across the shaft. I think the difference between their two options is that with the ultimate package, you get a really hunky looking member for about a week, which is a real confidence booster. I would say, though, that the swelling process partly contributes to that. DO NOT be alarmed by day 3-5 on just how huge your sack will look. It's common and should be expected. All that to be said, the glans and sack enlargements are only temporary and complimentary to enlargement of the shaft. After a week of riding that high with a monster bulge for me, they went back to their normal state and I was left with a thick shaft. I don't think that there's a longer term solution to retraction - some guys pop sex pills at a low volumes but I would caution against that and just focus on light stretches and re-using the ball stretcher every now and then.
Regarding exercise, I had the same question and Ian recommended I wait about 3 weeks before going hard at the gym again. To help offset that, I just took longer walks and did light weight exercises, about 80% less than what I would typically lift on a normal weight training day. But honestly, it's best to just focus on after-care and maintenance during those 3 weeks and accept that is just a temporary pause on routine. And if you get restless, focus on walking. I did a lot of that and just tuned out with some podcasts and music. I think the one thing people didn't/don't mention enough on here is how obsessed you become right after the procedure. For me, I was thinking and treating my member incessantly. Even on the first 3 days of doing the microwave heated rag molding sessions around the clock, it became a routine to just focus strictly on maintaining that smooth end result you are left with after leaving
Avanti Derma. I thank Texas for that! His thread on Aftercare was really my playbook going into this. And except for the shelf area I'm dealing with (I had a
Circumcision done a few years ago in prep for this), I have a really smooth and consistently thick shaft with no lumps/nodules whatsoever.
For the doctor, there's only one person there and she's phenomenal, take it from all the guys on here who've mostly raved about her.
Do yourself a favor and use the search bar. It helped me overall understand peoples experiences and tips. I would say that the Aftercare thread is a really good read, and like Dream wrote, there's more info on here about Phallotox should my response not be what you were looking for, as far as concerns.
Best of luck!
