TOPIC: The contiuing lies of elist and his practice about his silicone implant, will it end?

Time to weigh in. I had the Elist implant and had it replaced with the so-called \'softer\' version six months later because of infection. This of course does not exist so as to be expected I had to have that also removed one month later. The embarrassing thing was, as I live in Europe, I had to wear a diaper to get back to LA as the area was so badly affected it became a running sore.

Yes, I was tired of hearing about everyone wanting everyone else to sue because they were too embarrassed. Anyone that knows anything about legal matters should know that 99% of the time a deal is cut and no court appearance is necessary, so anyone using that excuse should be shown no sympathy.

The point is, it is the whole rigged system of legality. If you can actually find an honest lawyer you are streets ahead. Yet I who could prove everything - including what I thought was a real basis for fraud against Dr Elist - all lies aside, his claims to have FDA approval for his product, was the biggest lie of all. How bad does it have to get? Yet with a super, duper lawyer even with that amount of evidence all they managed to secure for me after 18 months was a lousy $5000, 40% of which they stripped for themselves. One has to ask the question, of course, what deal was done between my lawyers and how much the lawyers were paid off. Not a good scenario or outcome.

Apologies, but I don\'t have a great deal of time to spend on this site so I can\'t remember everyone\'s names except my associate Mustang and Messageman, who I feel I know intimately as we have made the same time journey in many ways. To the gentleman looking to have the scarring removed surgically, I did that - twice, but here\'s the problem every time you cut you create more scarring so I can honestly say despite two operations for this, there really was no perceptible difference. I have no patience with Hanging either but I did find that despite losing length over time it began to come back, the scarring itself softens I am told.

I have gone the PMMA route and have succeeded in achieving what I would have liked from the outset. I have also managed to get beyond all the negatives with this and get on with my life.
I wish I could be as inspirational as Messageman and Mustang (my heroes who helped me through quite dark periods. I hope some day to be able to thank them personally) in writing all my experiences but I am here if anyone has any questions. I have been through the mill and back.

It is good to see you here again. I am glad you are looking at things positively.

The legal system failed all of us. This guy will not be stopped by our legal system. He has damaged so many lives it is amazing he sleeps at night and drive his BMW during the day. He actually uses a \"disabled\" blue sign that he hangs inside his car to park illegally on the streets of LA and Beverly hills...Just amazing.

MM and I have helped each other and I am very glad we were of help to you....Good luck with your journey.

I\'m seriously considering scar tissue Removal surgery to correct that large band where the implant was. The more Erect I am the more it hurts by my glans. It feels and looks like its being pulled back. The pubescent area pulls way out and the pulling feeling I get at the glans tells me hte story... I\'ll go through 3 more months of Kenelog but if that doesn\'t do the trick I\'m gonna go for surgery.

Good luck and keep going dude!

It\'s an absolute joke what he gets away with... I know we hear the horror stories but surely he has some satisfied guys out there but I doubt it..
Aren\'t his colleagues fed up with him? Can\'t someone get him reprimanded or struck off?
I\'m from Australia and I thought our medical negligence/malpractice system was shocking... America\'s seems like you gave no leg to stand on.... You hear about people commuting fraud being sentenced to 7 years jail in the US... Isn\'t Dr. James Elist a fraud? I\'m surprised so many members on here just \'let it go\' that\'s a lot of money you threw away...

I think the only procedure he offers that actually has some integrity is the testical implants... My main concern is the cupping not allowing the testes to breathe causing a loss in sperm count

Dr Elist\'s implant seems great on paper but unfortunately after 40 years or so of Phalloplasty being around \'this is good as its gonna get!\'

Elist isn\'t the first PE Dr to be a total butcher and get away with it. Mel Rosenstein and Ricardo Samiter worked for years and year, destroyed the lives of countless men and in the end only lost their medical licenses after patients actually died. Gary Rheinschild only lost his medical license shortly before his death, despite the fact it was well known within the PE community that the guy had totally lost the plot years ago. He was frequently referred to as Rainman by his patients, as he was so strange. He did so much damage, but nothing was ever done about it.

These Dr\'s make you sign so much prior to surgery and most men are far too embarrassed to take any action regardless. I\'ve had some terrible PE surgery and the truth is I never considered legal action. All I cared about was trying to fix the damage.

I had PE surgery with Samitier... shows you how far back I go' then with Elist then Rheinschild then Elist again. Now I realize how lucky I am that my penis even works. It is a testament to the resiliency of the human body I guess. I never thought about getting compensated for the damage either. I spent a lot of money... I just wanted (and still do) to be whole again.
My focus is to soften scarring in my penis to get more length and fix scarring left from the Elist testicular implants. Which, incidentally are no safer than the penile implant.

What do you think the success rate is for Elist Testical and Penis implant is? Surely there\'s a few happy guys out there?

I was one. Remember?

It\'s criminal... Sociopathic.
I can\'t believe he is still walking around...With all the men he has butchered, you would think that one of them would have taken matters into their own hands by now...

They are both fundamentally flawed designs. Neither his penile nor testicular implants are compatible with a healthy penis and testicles. Some recipients may tolerate them better than others but in the end the risks far outweigh benefits.That explains why no other doctor uses them'they don\'t work. Dr Elist must know this.

Have people reported this surgeon to the state? www.mbc.ca.gov/Consumers/Complaints/

All I could find was one citation for failure to maintain medical records in 2009. That\'s it. He got a $350 fine. (Search here if you want. Patient names aren\'t public.) Are they just dismissing the complaints? I wouldn\'t be surprised, in CA - w/ people walking around looking like blow up dolls... but still, but I think he\'s going way outside the boundaries of acceptable medical practice, that would be judged by his peers - if a complaint was filed.

I never posted this before, but I almost got that \"dildo\" implant from him about 1-4 years ago (I know he reads the board so I\'ll be vague)... long story why I didn\'t do it... but at least people posted things online about it. I got close, though - and the way he talks - you\'d think it\'s a miracle surgery. The salesmanship is about as scary as some of the stories people posted....you all saved my ass (er, dick).

elist will have you sign many papers to get him off the hook even if you DIE during or AFTER the surgery. I have found the papers and when I have the time I shall post them, then you will see why our medical system has failed us and why he is driving a BMW with a \"DISABLED\" sign hung on the mirror so he can park anywhere in Beverly Hills!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a poor excuse for a dr!!!!

All surgical consent forms say the same bs about dying during surgery, but most of the time they don\'t hold up in court. Legally, those forms don\'t really sign away any rights...they just give you \"informed consent\" - and appear like you\'ve signed away rights. You haven\'t. You\'re just informed...which can reduce your damages in the eyes of a jury - which is the real problem. It\'s nearly impossible to sue a plastic surgeon because juries side with them & blame the victim for \"doing it to themselves - since you knew the risks\"...and malpractice insurers won\'t settle because they know juries blame the patient...especially w/ elective cases. So, no lawyer takes the case on contingency. That\'s why I mentioned reporting him to the state. The state won\'t care about waivers of liability (which legally aren\'t really waivers anyway).

There was another infamous sociopath plastic surgeon in NYC too - and he finally lost his license. This guy was such a psychopath that after he destroyed his reputation in NYC, he started traveling to Ireland doing PR tours and to pick up more unsuspecting patients during the Celtic tiger era (one of whom died after seeing him on a morning show there and traveling to NY for surgery that he botched) - and to this day, he still keeps his videos up on YouTube of his appearances on tv in Ireland. The comments are disabled of course.

I knew about him for ages - and it was a happy day for many many people when he finally went down. He\'s just not the only one who deserves this fate.
