I\'m not sure Dr. C even needed to respond to the speculation of counterfeit
PMMA, as it\'s the silliest kind of silly some of the things that were suggested. I mean, how often do ladies who get their lips injected with Botox sit staring while the doctor fills the syringe, reading the serial number and calling the manufacturer to confirm the batch? Unlike, say, a Dr. Loria filler whose composition was unknown, Dr. C has stated clearly the products he uses (and shows the packaging upon request). Since the quality of
PMMA goes a long way in reducing complication, why in the hell would the renowned Dr. C risk his very practice when the actual brands are available legally? Why his association with the Bioplasty Congress discussing the efficacy of brands like Metacril and Linnea Safe if all he does is inject us with Chinese Plexibeads?
Skepticism is healthy. Implicit comments and wild speculation is not.
Maybe the Tijuana-stigma factors into the equation somehow, but if you can\'t have any faith in the title of MD, you shouldn\'t be asking the doctor to the fill the syringe - you should be avoiding
Phalloplasty altogether.
Furthermore, cosmetic enhancement is inherently experimental & evolving, even with the current standard methods that exist today. Dr. C\'s use of Bio-Alcamid in the past demonstrates this.
Phalloplasty has a history of incompetent doctors, shoddy methods, and horror stories, but that isn\'t to say every doctor & practice is evil. I\'m no endorser of Dr. C or his practice, but I will admit, even as the Admin of this forum, that I have great respect for his practice. As he states quite clearly,
Phalloplasty came to him. He didn\'t mass market, shill forums, or promise unrealistic gains. He\'s given many men a renewed sense of adequacy, and for some, a renewed sense of confidence. Those with complications can attest to Dr. C & Company\'s willingness to follow-up, and their sincerity in trying to resolve lingering issues. Why say all this? Because his practice, outside of the massive short-term success of penile bioplasty, acts in sharp contrast to most other phallo-operations.
Is it a perfect practice with the perfect solution? No. But let\'s be real here. Let\'s be damn honest and straight to the point. What
Phalloplasty method available for
Girth enhancement has more consistent results and a better complication rate than penile bioplasty? This forum is an unsolicited testament to the efficacy of this method, especially as it relates to
FFT, PLGA Scaffolds, DFG, Silicone Implant, and Alloderm/
Belladerm. Who would contest this? Does it have its share of complications? Sure, but so do the common nose & boob jobs. Are the complication rates acceptable? That\'s hard to say, not enough lurkers report to the forums to get a clear picture on complication rates, especially those that are major complications. But from what anecdotal & empirical evidence we have, it appears to be much better than the alternatives.
