In your chart \"New Plastic\" is representing all types PMMA or just one type PMMA?
Your chart is kinda making lean toward Belladerm again. How did you come to \"excellent\" as result for Belladerm?
Why didn\'t you go with Bella? Was it just because of the initial HIGH risk?
Thanks again!
I don\'t want to be dismissive of EQ\'s chart, but it\'s just his opinion and I think a lot should have been different at the time and much should be changed now.
Sorry EQ.
In terms of end result the best is Dermal graft. It\'s an invasive and risky procedure, but if one gets through the recovery period, then in terms of both gains and aesthetics it\'s the best. I\'ve been on PE forums for years and have seen loads and loads of results and followed the progress of numerous men and nothing beats a dermal graft for end result. Don\'t go down that route though, as grafts and the penis don\'t mix well, which is why you should stay away from Belloderm.
There is no real difference between Alloderm and Belloderm, other than Belloderm is taken from living people and comes in set size and works out slightly cheaper for the surgeon. So don\'t really see why one is gives a \"good\" result and the other \"excellent.\"
Since EQ made the chart we\'ve seen two members who had
Belladerm report that the graft is changing and their penis is starting to bend. The same thing actually happened to the infamous Chad Hedman. So I think the medium term risk needs to be increased to \"high\" from \"low\". Also the result was deemed \"excellent\", but I\'m not sure what criteria this was judged on. 17 months ago Soma still had an excellent result, but since then he seems to have experienced a lot of absorption. Yardstick lost most of his gains. Candybars had to have his graft removed, asit was constrictive and he could feel it. He has lost sensation in his shaft. So, I don\'t think the results can still be deemed excellent.
FFT rarely produces \"good\" results. In terms of consistency of result and overall patient satisfaction once the surgical and healing process has been successfully navigated, then I think it should rank is lowly as the Elist implant.
The scaffold procedure itself isn\'t \"very high\" risk, but the surgeons who do it are real cowboys. Their surgical technique seems to be appalling. The procedure it itself should be pretty straightforward and the material is much safer to be used on the penis than the allografts (ie
Belladerm). In terms of cost it is lower than most
FFT procedures, so should be ranked as \"medium.\"
The medium term risk of the Elist implant should also be \"high\" and not \"medium\". Infections and pain leading to remvoal have been reported a long time after surgery.
