TOPIC: Imperial's PMMA Progress Report

Yeah, I think we were on the shuttle together, and I was first up with you after.

I like the idea of waiting longer between sessions for everything to settle, like 5-6 months, but I want more now haha. At a bit longer than three months now, all of my aesthetic areas have mostly resolved themselves and looks great all around, but definitely have some desired places for more PMMA to steer towards my specific desired shape.

It\'s been a loooong time since my last post so I hope everyone is doing well. I\'m sorry I haven\'t posted in such a long time but I needed a break from living a penis-centered life.

It\'s been more than 18 months since my last PMMA session. To recap: My first session went really well and looked great. My second session didn\'t look nearly as well. I asked for as much as they would give me so I don\'t blame Dr. C or Wade at all. I haven\'t been back for more but probably will eventually go in to touch things up.

I don\'t know what my stats are because I haven\'t measured in a long time. I can tell I lost some Girth but not sure how much.

The bad: I still have some itching 18 months later, although much less than the first 6 months after. There are also some nodules near my glans that have not gone away. These can be a little painful when irritated but otherwise just annoying. There is also a big mass on the top, middle of my penis. It can also become irritated and red when I masturbate. My penis doesn\'t look completely natural. I would be self conscious with how it looks if I was single and dating different girls. Sometimes I have little panic-attacks worrying about what might happen in the future (like getting cancer or having my Dick fall off).

The good: I used to hate my penis and now I don\'t. I can feel a penis Hanging down in my pants at all times. I\'m more confident which has positively affected my work, marriage, relationships, and outlook on life. Sex is more enjoyable for me and for my wife. I can live with the aesthetics. It\'s not perfect but way better than the pics I posted after the procedure.

Given my circumstances I would definitely do it again. I also believe that Dr. C cares about his patients results and is trying to do the right thing. That said, if you are considering PMMA make sure you read everything on this site before you jump into it. This is serious shit and we still don\'t know what is going to happen to us long term. Do not filter out what you don\'t want to hear. In my humble opinion PMMA is the best bad option we have right now.

If you are still dead set on going forward then I would recommend (like many others) doing length first and then Girth. If aesthetics are important to you, then tell Dr. C and Wade that and listen to their advice. Follow the post-op instructions to a tee and hope you have a good result.

Thanks and good luck everyone!

Imperial, thanks for posting an update so far after. It\'s always useful to hear... I am just 3 weeks post r1. 10% round only but still have some similar probs.

I have that same hard circ scar ridge you described, pretty obvious now in Flaccid & Erect. So, I am going to ask if they can break it up in R2. But, you said you have a big lump on top? Do you think that was caused by breaking up the ridge and filling it in (where it swelled up from breaking it up)? Or is it in a different area?

Also, I have a lump on the lower right, which it sounds like you had. Is this gone too for u? Did you ever have bumps at your entry points?

Thanks for any info!

I\'m not sure how effective they are at breaking up the clumps with a cannula. I had a mass on the top right side of my shaft after round 1. I should be more accurate when describing it rather than just say it\'s \"big\". There is a hard lump (Nodule) that is about the size of large pea about 1/4 way up my shaft. There is another slightly smaller pea sized lump about 3/4\" up from that. In between those two nodules it just doesn\'t feel normal. I\'m not talking about the smooth, plastic feeling. It\'s more uneven and hard for me to describe. It was not visible after round 1 and you still cannot see it. It is easily felt when Flaccid but not when Erect which is interesting.

They tried to break it up during round 2 but it is still there. I. I think there are two possible reasons for my issues in round 2. The first is that when they were trying to break up the mass it caused my penis to swell. The swelling prevented me from being able to massage the PMMA properly. The second is that I asked them to give me as much 20% as I could get. I do not pump and haven\'t done manual PE so the skin was tight and the PMMA settled where it wanted to. Maybe it was a combination of both. If I had to do it over again I would have waited more time in between round 1 and round 2. I should have done round 1, let things settle for 3 months, go in and have the mass broken up, let that settle for 3 months and then go in for round 2. It\'s funny what lack of funds and patience will make you do.

I had two big nodules at the entry point after round 2. The one on the left has completely gone away and the one on the right is hardly noticeable at all. Basically all of the original lumps and uneven spots are still there. They are just smaller and less noticeable. I hope that helps and good luck!

Hm... sounds unusual...those two lumps and a weird space, I mean. Btw - I\'ve noticed things totally changing when Erect too. Generally, I have more probs Flaccid. Well, fortunately you are married. I think it\'s important for single people to consider this really carefully too - bc nobody wants to go out w/ someone who is like - what\'s up w/ your penis?

I am gonna ask wade at some point about my lower right lump... there\'s not much to do asap - and fortunately its far down the shaft - but it is weird to feel for someone else (and definitely there when Erect). It sounds like everything sort of diminishes w/ time in most cases. Someone here had a big lump directly under the urethra, at the base- can\'t remember now who - but it didn\'t seem like they were able to get rid of it.

I\'ll have to see what things look like at week 6 but I might just do 10 again and not that many CCs... I\'ve been surprised at how much better I feel about it and I am still under 5 at the top half. Bottom half is about 5 - though it\'s getting praise...lol. I have no idea why - considering it\'s still \"average\" I guess...but I am not complaining!

I am scheduled to see Dr. C. in a week. I expect some swelling and soreness but how bad is it? Are we talking mild pain or is it borderline unbearable? Any pain during erections or urination I should be concerned about? Just would like an idea of what to expect. Thanks!

tampabay, i had zero pain the day of or any time since. Just the anesthetic stings a little.

Damn It\'s been over two years since I updated my progress report. Time flies I guess! August will be 4 years since my first round so it\'s past time for an update.

First though I want to encourage other members to commit to updating their progress reports long term. I should really be doing this once a year so feel bad it\'s been so long. The truth is most of us here are leaches. We join PhalloBoards learn as much as we can, get our procedures and don\'t give anything back.

Even when I was on this site every day I didn\'t post that much. The reason was that the core members like M8, messageman, hoodle, SO, smartman and the rest of the crew provided so much good information I didn\'t see what I could add to the conversation. One of the things that annoyed me was how many dudes would shoot their mouths off with opinions not backed by facts or research. It just clutters up the thread and makes it harder to get accurate info. I did read just about every post on PMMA on the board. The information was invaluable. My memory\'s not so great but I think I came to this site thinking I would get belloderm grafts. Within two hours on this forum I knew that was a bad idea. I shudder to think what I\'d be going through right now if I had gone that route.

The point is that most of us aren\'t experts on penis enhancement procedures so we can\'t offer much back. The one thing we can do is update our reports to provide a larger sample size of long term results. If you are researching PMMA or HA right now and go through with the procedure please make sure to provide updates to help the guys that come after you.

So I\'ll get off my soapbox now... Sorry for the rant but after being away for so long I realized how much I owe to PhalloBoards.

I\'ll update my thread in the next few days when I\'m home and can provide some pictures. Thanks brothers!

So here\'s my status report with pictures. Pic 1 is my FG which is actually closer to 4.75 when not retracted at all. Pic 2 is what it looks like in the normal state. I.E. This is what it looks like most of the time. Pic 3 is what it looks like after I shake it out a bit. Pic 3 for is the side view when Erect. Pic 4 is my EG and pick 5 is the Flaccid length. I can\'t get an Erect pic of length and I had to use a tape measure instead of ruler so I used my strectcher to get the pic.

You can tell I\'ve had work done but I\'m still happy I did it.

The only change has been that I\'ve been stretching for the last two months with my size genetics. My original goal was to gain some length and then go in for some touch ups with dr C. I\'ve also lost 20 lbs in the last month and between the two I\'ve added a 1/2 Inch in nbel. A curious side effect seems to be that the PMMA has softened up some. The first couple of times I went for over an hour with high tension it felt like the PMMA or collagen was tearing so I freaked out a little and stopped for a few days. But nothing bad happened so I started back up. The weird thing is that it feels like my Dick has softened up somewhat. There are still hard spots along the base and the nodules haven\'t gone away but it seems like it\'s more pliable in some way. I\'m going to continue to to do this as much as possible and see if it\'s possible to slowing break up the clumps and replace it with new tissue. Might be pie in the sky but it\'s worth trying. If there isn\'t much pre ogress after 2-3 months I might try DMSO to see if that helps. But for now I want isolate the variables and give this a try.

Thanks for the update, Imperial. So after your two rounds, what is your total gain?
