When we really want something, it\'s so easy to convince ourselves that we\'ve done enough research, as we really only want to learn enough that tells us it\'s a good idea. Lets\' be 100% honest here, you haven\'t found a single patient who has had a surgiment graft for a year yet have you? Have you even spoken to a single independent source (ie someone not given to you via Solomons office) that has had a surgimend graft for more than 6 months?
It\'s very, very typical for guys to think in a way that allows them to reach the conclusion they want to, but to do this one needs to think in a way that doesn\'t challenge what we are told, even if there are some quite glaring red flags. I know its not what you want to do, but as a Moderator who has years of experience with PE patients, I feel I should try and get you to think a bit more objectively.
First you have to ask yourself why so few surgeons perform this procedure, given how simple it is to do (compared to many other plastic surgery procedures,) how lucrative it is and how high the demand is. You really have to bury your head deep into the sand not to wonder why that might be. It really can\'t be because Dr\'s don\'t like earning money. Surely the only logical conclusion is that the satisfaction rates aren\'t high enough for most Dr\'s to want to deal with.
Then if we look at the procedure itself, have you really thought about that enough? I mean even without any medical knowledge, surely one can tell there has to be something a miss when you are being told a 4mm thick graft will yield a 30% gain. Mathematically that just doesn\'t make sense. As you say, a 30% gain would mean you\'d be 6.2\". But wrapping a 4mm thick graft around 2/3 of a 4.8\" penis, can\'t really yield more than about 5.5\". Obviously for the first 6 months there will be swelling, but once that is gone, all you\'ll have is the graft. But even that is before absorption and if you research the allograft reports here, about 75% of patients seem to observe quite dramatic absorption. So forgetting everything you\'ve been told regarding gains by the guy who makes his living out of these procedures, logically does it even make sense you can get the 1\" you want?
If infection rates were the same for using the circ incision, then every surgeon would use this method and
Solomon himself would use it for every surgery. It\'s basically scar less penis enlargement, yet he and other surgeons don\'t routinely do it. Think about it, why would he make an incision in either the pubic area or the scrotum, if the operation could be done just as well through a circ incision? It simply makes no sense. Again forget what the guy making money from the surgery says and ask yourself if there is a reason why he wouldn\'t always use this method if it\'s just as safe. What possible reason would there be for making an incision and leaving a scar somewhere else, when he can just go through a circ scar incision. Doesn\'t that sound a bit odd?
Have you researched the consequences of an infection that is hard to treat? You may have put money aside to go back to Philly, but that doesn\'t mean the problem can be solved when you are there. There have been cases where guys have had to have their pubic bone removed due to an infection after PE surgery. We have a member here who became impotent due to infection. We\'ve have 3 members (Candybars, Curious1 and ChicagoLaw) who have had surgery with
Solomon and 2 of them got infections. Also one of them had to have the graft removed a year later as it ripped.
The difference between all these allografts, be it Alloderm, Belloderm, Reprizza or Surgimend are negligible. In the same way you are now being told Surgimend is better, previous patients were told the same about Belloderm. They are essentially the same thing and the biggest difference is simply the size of the graft material. So with that in mind I\'d research Belloderm and Alloderm patients if I were you. The rate of absorption will be the same, as will the rate of graft contraction.
I\'m not saying you shouldn\'t have the surgery, but simply maybe you shouldn\'t have it right now. I say this from a place of experience as someone who has rushed into a a procedure before only to be left disappointed. If
Solomon was still offering Belloderm or Alloderm I doubt very much you\'d be so keen, as you\'d have plenty of case reports here that show most of the time patients are left disappointed. The fact he\'s using a different type of graft now doesn\'t mean things will necessarily be any different. I\'m not saying they wont be, but simply experience has shown it\'s best to wait and see with these things. We\'ve all got one member who has had this graft. Why not follow his progress for a year and then make a decision. It\'s not like you are a young guy who is avoiding sexual relationships due to the size of his penis. You are a married guy with kids, so it\'s not as if your life is on hold until you sort this issue out.
