TOPIC: Circ scar swelling/PMMA collection???

Guys, I posted in my progress thread as well. I have what feels like a donut in my circ scar region. It could be water retention/swelling but I\'m starting to think its mostly PMMA. Has anyone had this as a permanent result from one procedure? I\'m starting to get really worried its not going to subside. Please chime in if you have any info.

Yes. I sent Wade a pic and he indicated that it is not uncommon. He said that it can be corrected in the second round. I\'m having my second/correction next week.

Same thing here and I\'ve been assured this will be corrected (along with a few other minor imperfections) in round two also. I\'ll be there at the end of the month.

I had swelling in that area after my last round, but it has definitely diminished entirely since. I think it\'s also important that we be patient with sex and/or other aggressive stimulation of the penis so as to not re-aggravate swelling. With past Phalloplasty techniques, you\'d have to wait at least 6 weeks or more before having sex, we\'re incredibly privileged to have a method available to us that allows much lower downtime between procedure & sex, but even then, some fail to observe it.

The least amount of time one should wait between the procedure & sex/aggressive stimulation should be the time it takes for all entry points to heal (though I\'ve read members being too impatient to even accommodate this extremely reasonable downtime), and that\'s usually 3 or so days. Another common time period to wait I believe is the one week rule and I believe that\'s Dr. C\'s recommendation. My opinion is that, if you are the type that takes longer to heal, and/or swells considerably, it wouldn\'t hurt to tack on an extra week or two of patience so you don\'t piss off your penis.

Justadude and others, not accusing or blaming you of premature aggressive stimulation of the penis, and am mostly just giving broad advice. As for your case specifically Justadude, if it\'s squishy/watery, it\'s more like swelling or edema and not PMMA. Once the PMMA settles, you\'ll know it because it will be a lot like the rest your shaft. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi Justadude,

I had a hard ridge there half way around the shaft at the Circumcision scar level near the glans. So this isn\'t entirely uncommon. In my next round Dr C fixed it once and for all. It is now just a memory. He used a Canula to make it collapse and vanish. Luckily my two sessions were only two months apart, so I didn\'t have to explain it away to women much.
