TOPIC: Elist Testicular Implants

I just heard back from Florida and don\'t think he\'d mind my sharing that he is not in the country for awhile, but did indicate that his testosterone scores came back \'normal\'. He is one of the few that have indicated satisfaction with the implant with all of it\'s caveats. Dog posted expressing his dislike of the implant and had them removed. Both posted pics in this thread (or the main one) showing the aesthetic result. I think the risks and downside are clear... the big kicker is the cost. Believe it or not, I\'m still considering it as well. It is the only \'true\' way to increase your package reiably- 24/7. Still too bad there isn\'t a better alternative. I would greatly anyone sharing any other options (other than liquid silicone- no way!). Regards

I did it and am happy. All of Florida's points are correct. I've written about it in the main thread, as well. My skin in one annoying spot has adhered to the implant, and the good doctor chooses not to reply to my emails about it. But, I did have really small Balls before, and I'm happy I can live my life with a package now.

Florida- Thanks for the reply. Oddly, you have and DOG, both of whom have the implants, have different opinions. He has implied he might have his removed, and I believe he has the \'newer\' version. Interesting. to either of you, I\'ve never really heard an answer to the anecodotal question: are they that noticeable in tight jeans, swim trunks, biking/running shorts? Does it look \'natural\' or was the sudden change overly noticeable? I\'m looking for a \'modest\' improvement, and honestly Florida, that volume and weight that you refer to. I\'m still completely torn. I appreciate your feedback.

It is my understanding that the \'new\' softer material was configured prior to \'09 so it would likely be the same as yours. What size did you get and what were you charged (if you don\'t mind sharing)? Do you find them to be visually natural, aside from the feel? Any regrets or thoughts of having them removed? Seems several patients eventually had them removed. Thanks for sharing...

Rondo:
I don\'t come on this forum too often, so I haven\'t seen the posts, but respond to your questions:
No, I haven\'t had an other work done, but have been considering PE.
I don\'t think that I have the newer softer silicone; I think that I have the older, harder ones. When I got the implants, Dr. Elist didn\'t mention a newer, softer, implant, nor did I read about it in the discussion groups before I got them. I did however, read about the softer silicone that Dr. Elist is now using quite a while after I had the surgery. I would think that if Dr. E was about to give me the new implants, he would have mentioned that they were \"new and improved\".
I had large implants installed. When I asked Dr. E to put in the largest ones he could fit, he said that that\'s what everyone says. He said that the vast majority 90+% of his testicle implants are the large size. It seems like I paid $8500, but can\'t really remember.
As I mentioned in another thread on here a couple of days ago, yes, they appear natural to anyone looking at them. You can see the \"seam\" where the implant cups the natural testes, but it\'s slight. When someone is looking at your nuts, it doesn\'t even occur to them that there could be an implant in there; why would they? Unless you\'re reading these PhalloBoards, whose ever heard of testicle implants on guys who also have their natural testes? Even if/when they see an imperfectly shaped testicle through your scrotum, and they\'d really have to examine it, who would ever think about an implant being the reason?
Now when someone grabs your Balls, they\'ll feel that something is amiss. I\'m sure the saline-filled sacs are much nor similar in feel/texture to a natural testes, but I can\'t imagine how they\'d \"cup\" your testes; wouldn\'t they just be an additional testes in your nut sac? I can\'t imagine how those could look at all natural because they don\'t hold a shape. I\'m not saying that I know that they can\'t ... I\'m really just posing the question.
No, I\'ve never even contemplated removing the implants. With their drawbacks, I still like them a lot. I love the volume and weight in my shorts. I would however, really like for them to be softer and would even consider changing them out if a significantly better product came out to substitute them.

DOG- I can\'t let \'sleeping DOG\'s lie\'... Would you be willing to post photos of your testicular implants? Or PM me to discuss? I\'ve seen Florida\'s post, but it\'s kind of inconclusive. I\'m still conflicted between my desire to have an enhancement and all the negative feedback about the Elist implant. I will embarrassingly admit that seeing, and yes, touching/feeling an actual implant would certainly help immensely with my decision. I\'ll also admit that will likely never happen. Damn it. Why have you decided to keep yours? Do they look normal in tight clothing- i.e.- swim trunks/ biking shorts/ running shorts, etc. ? You wanna know my goal? I have a nice Dick... kind of like a trophy. Have you ever seen a bowling trophy where it\'s just the frozen casting of a bowler? No. Every trophy has a base. I want a base for my \'trophy\'. plain and simple, thats it. My Balls sag between my legs- I want them to support my unit without looking silly. Again, this all about maximizing the aesthetic; not only how it looks to someone else, but how it looks and feels to me. I\'ve worn a \'prosthetic\' testicle substitute (around the house) to see what it feels like... and I like it. That\'s all I\'m goin for, a little more of a base. Thoughts? Anyone? I\'m still going to pursue a conversation DR.C and the other DR C. (surgeon- sorry still don\'t know his name) to see if they can\'t come up with a more affordable and natural looking/feeling solution. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

@Rondo
The other Dr. C as in Dr. Camacho? I\'m guessing that\'s probably who you meant to refer to.

Oh and welcome to the 50 Club Rondo! Or technically known as the \"Contributing Member\" gang

Rondo.

Sure.. Here are a few. Now as I\'ve always said.. They look fine.. but the feel is off.. You can feel the implant which is akin to a hard rubber ball. You can also feel the edges. Also, if you have small testicles you will have a gap between the implant whereas you can stick your finger in the area \"into the cup\" between your testicle and the implant. Also, another issue. Elist sews/connects the Balls to the scrotum so that only the \"front\" of the implant shows. Normally, a guy will have his testicles sit in different positions and Elist fixes that by attaching the implant to the scrotal wall. the problem with this is that one of them is not free floating and it doesn\'t hang right so always seems like it is right under the penis..

If you only are going for an aesthetic it\'ll be fine, but once someone grabs it, they\'ll know. Some guys are ok with that.. I\'m just not.

Thanks for the pics DOG. I wondering if you might have a \'straight on\' shot? What was/is your experience with the change when wearing clothes/swimwear/biking shorts (if you do these things)? What is it overly noticeable? Did you also get the elist penile implant? Damnit. I\'m still on the fence- I think your aesthetic is good, but I honestly think I\'d go with the mediums for a more modest enhancement. You mentioned the \'gap\' if your testicles were small; what is small? Do you mind sharing your \'dimensions\' prior and after? SO- Thanks! Also, you\'re correct, it\'s Dr. Comacho. I wonder if he\'s considered this? Someone ought to compete with Elist. Right now he\'s like a Rothschild trying to corner the market on silver (and succeeding). Regards.

You may want to consider waiting for another method of testes enlargement to come along. The Silicone procedure is very risky and the end result, if one does not get any infection and/or problems, is not natural feeling. Also, Silicone may make detecting cancer in that area very very difficult.

damnit. please stop responding with reason, logic, and clear thinking. This is a Penis Enhancement site. None of those things apply... Just teasin M2, just not want I want to hear... but know to be true. Damnit.

anybody hear/ know about DR. Reed\'s implant? He charges 6000 and offers both soft silicone and saline filled sac. I wonder if those are available to be performed by Dr. Commancho? Sounds like it\'s a manufactured implant. Never heard anyone talk about his \'work\' (Dr. Reed) or that implant. Anyone ?

what did he charge you? what was your recovery time? Are you planning to post pics? Still on the fence...
