Hi Unas,

Just back from school holidays....


Seeing that we now have 6 persons who posted a progress report including myself and quite a few who will take part and post their progress soon as well there are still many lingering questions regarding Juvaderm Voluma as well as some information I feel we should summarize since not every is starting a progress thread but it would still be great to receive their feedback and results.

General questions (would be great if Dr Oates can give some feedback).
1. Realistically when should we go for a top up before it starts to diminish? Being realistic that the Penis is a different organ where it will be under more pressure and movement. Since most reports for people where it stayed in place for 2 years or longer was in the face.

We are waiting to see. We have had a few where the guys have thought Voluma diminished over a few months. They were professional athletes. We have had guys say it is gone but on measurement they still have their increase. I think if you start seeing a decrease then it is time, but predicting when is not yet possible.

2. How much top up would be enough every year to keep your gains? For example if I get 20 ML and I gained 1 Inch from this and I top up before it starts to dissolve how much ML would be enough? 6 ML? 10 ML? Another 20 ML?

The have topped up lots of guys - because they want to be even bigger. Maybe it took a while to save up more spare cash. Volume - well I think the more you put in the greater the increase again.

3. Let\'s say I initially had 20 ML and lets say I top up with 10 ML before the originally 20 Ml dissolves do i then gain additionally or just gain initially and then lose after the original starts to dissolve. How much will we lose in that case giving a example?

I think it just add 10ml of volume. The original is diminishing and the new 10 has added. If less than 10ml volume had gone then you would be bigger than the original increase.4. Does Juvaderm Voluma stimulate Collagen Growth, to what extend and for how long? In that case would it make sense to do light PE excercise to stimulate the growth even further. For example Clamping, bends, Uli\'s etc?

I have just written a post on this, see -
calibreclinic.com.au/is-there-any-perman...change-with-calibre/
They don\'t quantify how much in these studies.

5. Is it is okay to Pump? What are the effects, will it strain the product and make it dissolve sooner?

Great questions, I wish I had good science to give answers. I would not recommend pumping for at least 3 weeks. I don\'t know hat it will do - I doubt it will speed up the breakdown.


6. What about hanging. I have a vacuum hanger that allows me to hang from the head and target the inner penis. Would this be okay? If I would gain length would parts of the penis become thinner?

I like this better. I do think that regular hanging will produce benefits in a % of guys. But probably not everyone and you have to be diligent over a long period. You probably still need CALIBRE for girth.

7. What can be done extend the longevity of the filler? Is there things we should do more or less. Things we should eat? Supplements we could take? Lotion we could put on our member?

I don\'t think anything will make a difference - again not been studied (that I know of)

8. What are the thoughts on Clamping? Clamping mostly makes your penis expand from the inside unlike Pumping which targets the outside. I have no product in the base which also means I can not compress the filler with the clamp. This would perhaps be the best exercise to do after having a HA procedure done? Could the combination of HA and Clamping promote faster growth as some say clamping after pumping helps you gain faster?

I am not sure if this is better than stretching. If someone was not getting regular erections it would certainly help maintain size. Maybe it works great but I have not seen any study on it.

We are just about to start our second study. It is a retrospective to patients who have had the procedure so far. Then we will start the most important study which will be following guys prospectively - into the future and see how happy they are, what happens with size, top ups etc.
