Hoodle, they are taking a look in 1 week. He buried some monocryl
Sutures that will dissolve over time (100% at 3 months). Then, he placed nylon
Sutures on the wound, going in through all the deeper layers with the vertical mattress technique (he was giving the resident some rhyme to do the mattress
Sutures... it was really kind of amusing to be awake during this) - so that thing should be CLOSED. I mean, it doesn\'t look so pretty but it is sealed like a nuclear arms vault. If it opens after this surgery, I have no idea what I would do. He said all the tissue there was just either
PMMA fibrosis or necrotic - and it had to go or I\'d have an infection or I\'d have a hole in my penis permanently. That\'s interesting about bonehead. I will have to look up his posts. Celacyn is a great rx med for scars, but I can try silicone too. And I still have that bottle of DMSO - I haven\'t used it all this time because it can be runny and I\'ve had an open wound for 2 months. But I really wanted to use it on those remaining hard spots. I hope it can flatten this. I\'ll post a pic after saturday. I have to find out how circ scars are closed...cuz it\'s almost like I just had a mini
Circumcision - I mean, they took skin out right there...and closed it right on that line. But, they closed it so it\'s like pinched up...which might not flatten so fast (hard to say). He\'s very honest with me. I asked and he just said he doesn\'t know how it will look.
One concern was that he took 1/2\" of skin off my right side but my left is the same...so will this feel weird
Erect? He said it definitely won\'t bend because that comes from the tunica, but the skin might be pulling on the shaft...or I might have hair growing up the right side of the shaft which is no big deal. (I saw the excised tissue in the formalin and it was pretty gross...he also kept commenting \"this is everywhere - I can\'t even work on this - I can\'t get healthy tissue\"...which freaked me out - until finally he said - \"ok now we\'re getting it\").
Mustang, that pic was just a sample of how it was lifted. My own stitches are under all the dressings I can\'t touch till saturday. Thanks for letting me know about your Elist incision.
Bigben, it sounds like I\'ll probably follow a similar path to you since I also got dissolvable + non-dissolvable (nylon). Even after they dissolve, most people still feel ridges from the surrounding tissue. That\'s good to know it eventually went away. How did things go sexually with that kind of scar?
Side note - are the first few posts in this thread insane? I kind of lost my mind when I read his notes - on top of the crap he already did. I don\'t know why I posted all this here. I just was so pissed about all that. I can get a bit angry sometimes.
