TOPIC: Wound closure - the bad and then the GOOD!

Thanks - yeah it surprised us both. I honestly think celacyn had something to do with it... but who knows. I also took the vitamin C - Rutin - Grapeseed mix that plastic surgeons published about.

It is a little \"roll\" of skin there - as it should be at 9 days. But that\'s going to go down. it\'s kind of ironic I started with one nodule and ended up with this. I still have that pic of me holding the nodule in the specimen jar...like yay it\'s done. If only I knew that would be the beginning of 3 months of a mess! I would\'ve just left it in there I guess. Something is very odd about my tissue when you cut into the penis...it\'s not really healthy - but I think its different than you guys and I don\'t know why (like the PMMA and collagen is clinging to the outside - not to the inside implant). My uro was basically a miracle worker given the circumstance.

This pissed me off today:

Now he\'s having people [Edit - his office manager] post positive reviews of him & write comments below my review.

Gross.

Just backed you up on there.

Happy healing brotha wishing you the best.

Thanks Hunkydory & biggg...that \"patient advocate\" really needs to be checked. That woman clearly has stockholm syndrome. And how long did they work together? He\'s only been in practice for 1 year.

Ugh. Shocking that those comments were coming from his own office! The person signed her name \"DM\"...idiot. She claims to be a \"healthcare professional\" but is an office manager.

Hunky Dory - i saw your last comment. Thanks. The woman is just nuts & there\'s no way to get through to her. At least now people can see what I\'m really dealing with for themselves. It\'s like I\'ve been through Alice & Wonderland of doctors here (in the USA - NOT Dr. C!).

The irony for people to make negative comments about a doctor in Tijuana when the worst treatment I had was from doctors in the USA (and now, their office managers, apparently).

He keeps posting fake positive reviews of himself (2 in the last day...5 stars, of course). Pathetic.

Most of the comments has been deleted.. Did you take a screenshot?

The doc sounds like a real asshole.. I mean, making false jurnals to avoid getting any blame for he\'s fuckup...! He should loose his license!! Thats crazy!

Sites/forums like Realself & Makemeheal are poorly moderated and its sad that information regarding medicine & surgery can be sold to the highest bidder. That\'s maybe one of the few reasons I still Administrate this forum, despite having been mostly retired from PE after so long...there are still many of us who need the anonymous outlet without fear of censorship or content manipulation (e.g. fake reviews, shills, etc).

Wow - RealSelf took a blowtorch to that string of messages lol. I do have screen shots of all of her comments - but I didn\'t take screen shots of the fake reviews. The IDFPR would have disciplined him for posting fake reviews...so I am upset that I missed the two of them. RealSelf would not provide me any \"evidence\" that fake reviews existed and were deleted (I asked) but they might provide it to the IDFPR.

Before this woman started this weirdo attack on me, I was getting over my whole interaction with him. Now that he\'s posting fake reviews and having staff members harass me online after the shit I\'ve been through - he started a whole new problem.

I emailed him telling him I would appreciate it if he\'d tell her to stop replying to me - and I went through his notes, calling out all his bullshit (his 5 psychiatric comments in the notes, yet NO information on the silver nitrate!).

It looks awesome restorartion

Thanks New1. It\'s looking surprisingly good this early. I don\'t know how it will look Erect, but Flaccid it\'s not bad. There are no stitch marks either which surprised me since he put in a lot of stitches and I got a few last time. After all of the wound separation craziness, I\'m afraid to have an Erection until 3 weeks post op...at that point, it\'s supposed to be 20% as strong as regular tissue - which isn\'t much but it\'ll be more stable.

Good news - My erection looks fairly decent (considering the stage I am at & what I went through). Obviously, it has a ways to go & might look totally different in 3 months. But, it is starting off well. The scar is certainly a raised roll of skin, but it will probably flatten. It\'s cut very precisely, though there\'s a small \"dog ear\" due to the skin needing to come out on the right but not the left. This will probably flatten, but Hoddle sent me an interesting youtube that shows it wouldn\'t be complicated to fix 3-6 months from now if it is still there. There is quite a bit of darkening / discoloration on the incision line...I wonder why that is appearing now, 10 days later. It didn\'t seem to be there earlier on.

Bad news - That jackass doctor who burned my balls off & basically led to me needing this surgery (because he used silver nitrate on the wound) has more fake reviews posted (after realself removed 2 already). This is seriously pissing me off. www.realself.com/find/Illinois/Northbroo...-Surgeon/Jacob-Bloom



From the start...to give some perspective. Sometimes I wonder if my penis even looks better than 2010. Yeah, it\'s bigger - but it looks like it has the same degree of aesthetic problems that I sent the last 5 years trying to fix.

just to clarify, the left pic is before any peyronies started in 2006. In 2010, the first symptom was this localized narrowing where the scar tissue developed. I have more pics of the upward curve in my journal. The narrowing ended up \"traveling\" down my whole shaft (it\'s easier to see in the journal but I just wanted to give a couple brief comparisons here). So, I ended up with 4\" girth at my low point, though some returned naturally over the 3 years.



Then...




After Peyronie\'s surgery and 2 rounds with Dr. C vs 3 rounds with Dr C (plus excisions)... So, obviously round 3 was a huge mistake...

It curves to the right because of missing skin on the right side. Ignore the tape - it\'s from a small skin scraping he did.




Both pictures are after round 3. the nodule that was present immediately after the procedure persisted and became very hard and fibrotic, despite kenalog and 5fu (which may have helped slightly but not much). It was excised because it prevented the other excision from healing.

I was just curious if you had to have the peyronies surgery in 2006 ? I read that if it is less than 45 deg you can leave it alone.. ? The bend looks pretty small but it might be the camera angle.

Anyhow glad to see it is healing well from your latest surgery !

That looks very good!

Thanks - yeah i am glad it is improving.

I had an upward bend of 60 degrees -- you can see before and after pics in my journal (click the \"part 1 below\"). That was in 2010-2013 though

That left bend is due to the camera angle or something. I don\'t know why it looks like that. It was totally normal then. I had PD surgery in 2013. I didn\'t have PD in that pic. The narrowing / hinge effect started in 2010 when PD started. It was normal in 2006. Maybe that\'s not the best pic ,but it was hard to find old Dick pics.
