TOPIC: My Journey with Alloderm Graft + PMMA

Alloderm VS. PMMA

Which one feels harder?

UPDATE!!

It's been a while, but I have some good news. As you know I was having an issue with a pain just below the glans and above the end of the graft. I believed it to be a suture that never dissolved, which turned out to actually be two Sutures. After 6 months of no progress he decided to do a Revision. He cut an incision and took out the Sutures and cleaned up the end of the graft that didn't really soften. There was an area around the suture on the graft that didn't look as aesthetic as I would've like it. What he did was clean up the end of the graft at the same time.

I'm going to go in and remove the Sutures this week from the Revision. I've already gotten erections and can confirm that the issue has been resolved, no pain! I think it will look better too. I'm super happy overall and excited it was able to get resolved. He could've just tossed me to the side after the surgery and not cared to do what he did. He was with me every step of the way and I 100% stand by Dr. Liu and what he offers. Keep you guys posted when im 100% healed.

Glad to hear everything is going well for you and that you’ve gotten to the bottom of your painful erections!

I know that you originally expressed concern about your Flaccid length and initially you said you saw an increase. You didn’t get a lig cut right? How is your Flaccid length now? If there’s still an increase, how much is the increase? Also you already have all your Erect length back, right?

Sorry for all the questions haha I have Surgery coming up soon (May 2nd) and I’m on the fence trying to decided if I should do a lig cut with dermal graft or not.

@PmmaFan I can't say which one feels harder as I've only done the graft route. I have no way to tell how just PMMA would feel alone. Sorry I can't be more useful on this question.

@Jondoe I did not get a lig cut you are correct. I can't say if I would or not sorry. I have nothing to compare it too or what pros and cons it has besides the obvious. It would probably be more dope to have a longer flaccid not going to lie. If the money isn't an issue why not I suppose. My flaccid length has increased for sure. You know how sometimes you can get out a shower and its cold, or you're working out and you get shrinkage? I would say even in those moments it's really a good size compared to before. I don't have an exact length at this time, but girth has gotten bigger. I have a solid piece of graft in there now so that keeps a firm structure in place so the flaccid length does not get smaller than that even when trying to retract if that makes sense.

I haven't really got to measure erect length in a while or wanted to as it was painful to get an erection before the revison. I do remember when I first got it I didn't lose much length at all when measuring. It was surprising because it did look shorter, but I guess because it's thicker it looks that way. I plan on doing full measurements with pictures when im all healed, but it'll be after your procedure date im sure. I will say I feel like I lost some range of motion with an erection. Example: When you're erect and you push your penis downward. Well, I cant really push it more downward that a "little past" 90 degrees (straight outward). The graft goes further back than just the shaft, but actually as far back as to where the scar is on my photo. So it keeps it from pulling downward a bit. Not sure if lig cut will allow for more range of motion or not.

Overall i'm happy with the size. The feel is pretty much just a rock solid as before. My flaccid is firmer and fuller/longer. I thought the 10pmma would give me a bigger boost (more towards 6.5-7" girth), but 6.25 is solid and who knows maybe since I don't have pain and when I get healed ill have a fuller erection. TBD. It looks uniform and I don't think anyone would be able to tell honestly. I'd say go for it personally, but I cant tell you PMMA alone would be better as I have no comparison.

Hey thanks for your reply! Your insights are really helpful.

It’s awesome to hear that the graft has not only increased your Girth but your Flaccid length as well. I can’t wait to also say goodbye to that damn shrinkage! Kind of makes me feel while maximum Flaccid length provided by the ligament surgery would be sweet, perhaps it isn’t worth the risk of retraction when I can get guaranteed but modest Flaccid gains from just the dermal graft implant like you did without an additional risk.

About your EL slight length loss sounds like a good outcome. I hope I have a similar experience though I completely understand to expect that after a surgery any appendage will have trouble with full range of movement. Especially with an operation like this, temporary EL loss is just par for the course. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing about your latest results after you measure.

I’m super stoked that you’re thriving brother! Your post gives me confidence and is making me super excited for my surgery. Thanks again for all the info!

Will there stay a scar from Alloderm?

( I only wonder cause - after 3 good rounds of Avanti PMMA - I want to do PMMA on the backside of the shaft, since many doctors offer that now. —> BUT I got 4 years ago a penoscrotal webbing operation. Is the very flat and smooth scar from that a problem to do now PMMA on the backside?)
