TOPIC: Deciding to have the PMMA procedure!

Yes, definitely don\'t get it drained or anything. Thats just risky infection.

Swelling, even this severe at day 5 is not anything to worry about. Like I said, I had decently bad swelling under my glands for around two weeks.

I\'d try to see if you can keep your unit positioned up, to reduce gravity pull on fluid buildup. Ice until the swelling momentarily goes down, then wrap somewhat tight to demote fluid build up there, and use arnica if you want.

You\'re good man,

hey hows it going bro?

Hey guys. Sorry I havent posted lately. been busy with getting back to work and school starting. Thanks to Hoddle buttercups and jlmb for keeping me positive through the swelling. The past couple days ive just been wrapping the circ area with a bit of pressure and the swelling has subsided a lot. Its not completely back to normal but its getting there. Everything else is pretty normal. Im at about a week and three days since my procedure. I have noticed a pea sized Nodule/lump at one of the entry points. When i have an Erection it is very noticeable and very prominent. Does anyone have any advice about this. Should i massage it or just let it be? Is there a chance this lump will subside on its own. I dont really know how im going to explain it to girls when they go down on me as it is very abnormal looking.

Really glad to hear things are improving. You are absolutely doing the right thing by getting back to work and school. By far the best medicine for an issue like yours is to get on with life and put your focus elsewhere. The swelling will resolve itself when you aren\'t even thinking about it.

I would give the nodule a little time, see if it goes away on it\'s own. I\'m thinking 4 weeks or so. If it doesn\'t go away, you can either go see dr c again and have him remove it, or you can do what I wrote about in this thread. This was directed by wade after my round two. It has been a complete success for me. Not for the faint of though, and be very careful to be clean and use sterile technique.

Its almost day 14 and I am less than satisfied with the appearance of my penis so far. Despite my persistent massaging my member looks uneven, unnatural, and deformed

Still looks like you have some swelling. I don\'t know that it\'s settled down yet.

I hope to god you\'re right

Just my two cents, you maybe overdoing the messaging . At this point things are where they are and messaging maybe just irritating the tissue ( swelling).

I\'m with mudball.
I would back off and see where you are after a few days. Go back and look at my Day 14. You had worse swelling than me so it is taking longer to cool off. But it looks better than before. Give your guy a chance to relax. Over the next week I would almost bet money that it will calm down if you give it a breather.

You are never going to get back to exactly what you had before. I think once the swelling goes down more it will get closer to natural. But you can\'t expect you will go back to pre-procedure look. Also, - like my own, I am not very happy with the Flaccid state, even now. But actually, I don\'t think I ever was \"happy\" with my Flaccid state (even pre-procedure).

I would not go as far as to say it looks deformed.

I really appreciate the tremendous amount of support I recieve on this website. And especially the encouraging private messages I have recieved. As for now Im just trying to stay positive and hope that most of this uneveness is just temporary swelling. I will try to keep you all as updated as I possibly can. Thank you

How are things JT?

Alright, So a quick 3 week update on my PMMA Post op with Dr. C.

Today marks exactly three weeks since i had the procedure. 21 cc of 30 % and 4 cc of 10 % Metacril.

I still have considerable \"swelling\" underneath the glans and in the Circumcision area. Wether or not this is still fluid/swelling is yet to be determined. I am trying to tell myself that this swelling is non other than fluid that has made its way into the tissue. The only reason I am feeling skeptical is the fact that this area has seemed to become much more \"firm\" and more and more less \"fluid\" or \"squishy\" like.

It also seems as though most of the PMMA migrated to the base and to the circ scar, leaving a pretty empty gap in the middle. I have always had kind of a tighter band of skin in this area and im thinking that this is contributing to the squeezing and migration of the material. I also had a considerable hard time getting an Erection post-procedure and i am wondering if maybe this also played a role in the bad migration/placement.

Other concerns I am having consist of a large clump of product at the very left base side of my shaft, where my shaft meets my body. You can see the protruding shape in one or two of the photos, especially the one in which im extending my penis.

As for now, me and my girlfriend are unable to have sex due to the large size of my Foreskin, It is uncomfortable for her and very unpleasant for me.

What do you guys think?

are some of these issues addressable by a touch up/2nd round.? Im thinking that maybe the clump at the base can be taken care of with a Kenalog shot perhaps, and hopefully the uneveness of the shaft can be adressed with more product above and below?. As for the circ scar area I am just waiting and hoping and praying that it goes down. Thank you all for your time.

sincerely- JT

It could be that the huge ball of fluid you had created a nice space for the PMMA to move into. So while most of the fluid has absorbed, some PMMA might have set in that area. It could still be fluid and I\'m just guessing, but if you have that tight band of skin, the PMMA will move to areas where it\'s easier to settle, and that huge ball of swelling would have meant no skin compression at all in that area.

It\'s really just that underside area that is the problem. All the other issues look pretty fixable to me. The underside could be an easy fix, but from a layman\'s points of view the solution is less obvious. It could well just be swelling anyway.

Thanks for your input Hoddle. im really hoping that its not entirely PMMA in this area at this point because I dont really know how it would be fixable or how i could correct it without having to get it removed surgically.
