Given that Bigben is the leading authority & expert on all-things
Phalloplasty, please listen to his wise words carefully.
A rogue procedure? Filler injections into the penis, dermal, fat, etc, are not uncommon and are hardly \"rogue.\" High risk? Perhaps for the common man (even then \"high risk\" is debatable), but the genuinely under-endowed, noodle-thin, and micro-penis men of this world consider it a life-changing option. Even men of healthy endowment have enjoyed this \"rogue\" procedure\'s benefits.
Sure, larger volumes and higher concentrations may have a correlation with more complications, but thank the Heavens that talk of complications are limited to aesthetic irregularities as opposed to loss-of-sensation, impotence, and significant size loss. The much newer generation of members probably have no idea how shitty things got when the older procedure-types (e.g. tissue grafts, silicone implants, etc) didn\'t go their way. I\'m in no way trying to diminish the issues that arise from
PMMA, instead I\'m trying to highlight what \"rogue\" and \"high risk\" truly mean in the world of
Phalloplasty.
I personally think Dr.
Casavantes has demonstrated strong ethics in light of facing more scrutiny and magnification than any other doctor in the history of
Phalloplasty. Virtually anything that happens before, during, and after a visit with Dr. C can be shared here, and given what men have had reported from these experiences, Dr. C holds strong ethical credibility. He\'s not without faults, but to suggest he\'s unethical based on what we know is diving into the deep end.
Maybe I\'m old school, but Dr. C is a breath of fresh air when you start to toss out names of some of the most notorious phallo-docs. Despite any disagreement we may have with his approach, volumes & concentrations, he isn\'t disfiguring penises on a mass scale, and on the contrary, has actually given men with misfortune some sense of normalcy.
And yes, I have a bias. There is no financial incentive, nor do I know Dr. C that well on a personal level, I just can\'t help but to think that in my lifetime a solution was afforded to me by a guy who is good at what he does. He didn\'t shill my forum, photoshop before & afters, or promise crazy gains, much like the doctors of old would do. And as long as I\'ve been following the
Phalloplasty scene online (this forum and others), I have never seen this inordinate frequency of praise given to a physician by his patients. He took up elective medicine and has done so with the highest ethical marks I\'ve seen from a physician performing
Phalloplasty since Dr. Gary Alter.
I\'ve come to a point where I see the big picture with
Phalloplasty. Where it is today, where it\'s going, what works, what doesn\'t. What I don\'t get, however, is why someone like you, Big Ben, would search, find, and post on a forum devoted to surgically enlarging your penis when your only intent is to bash every viable option. That\'s largely what the majority of your \"contribution\" has been here at
PhalloBoards. It\'s usually non-substantive fear mongering. Contrarians can bring balance to the discussion, and are sometimes needed. Members like sparticus, eqstudent, and CoolHandLuke have always brought much needed alternative perspectives, even when it was controversial. But then there are posts that make me scratch my head. We get it, as stated a million times, getting a knife or needle into your
Dick isn\'t without risk. Some doctors are more unscrupulous than others. Money plays a role. Sure, we get it. But if you have no interest in pursuing a procedure, what are you getting out of this forum, if you don\'t mind me asking?
