TOPIC: Need advice! trouble stretching two weeks after PMMA possible consequences

Hi,

As I outlined on another thread, I had to stop stretching 11 days after the 2nd PMMA procedure because the clinic also performed laser treatment on an old scar of mine (on the penis) that came apart probably due to stretching. Now when I get erections I feel a lot more bumps on the penis that seemed completely \'smooth\' until a couple of days ago but I can\'t \'play around\' with them (not that I am sure it would even help..). I am wondering if this is because still the PMMA is moving around, or the lack of fluids that may have been present to some degree during stretching \'smoothed\' things over. Anyway, I will probably not be able to stretch in the coming week and I am really concerned about the results. Wade says the only impact after the first 5-6 days of stretching is on the Flaccid length after the 6 week period but I am not sure that material is not moving around, hurting the final results in Erect state as well.

I really hope to get some responses from you guys - how long did you stretch after each procedure, did you notice or do you know of potential outcomes when stretching is stopped at least for several days to a week in day 11, what based on your experience and what you have read here may happen? And also, are all PMMA doctors promoting stretching for extending periods? what is their explanation to the need to stretch.

I really hope to get some responses here not just views and I thank you all in advance!!

Cheers.

I didn\'t stretch at all after either of my procedures and I\'m really pleased with my outcome. i had both done over a year ago and don\'t think stretching was even a recommendation at that time. I trust Dr. C and Wade and have done exactly as instructed and feel it was the right choice for me. Best.

11 days I believe that most of the PMMA is where it is going to be. I personally would consentrate on the open wound , which Hoddle , I believe gave you good advice on the other thread. Take a deep breath, make sure you don\'t get an infection, and allow yourself to heal! If you are very concerned about something, call the Dr. This is common to be worried about things right now that are just fine. The reality is you have had plastic injected into your body and that can have an effect, the good news is you will be fine ! Happy healing!

Thanks a lot - it is relieving to hear that there wouldn\'t be significant implications on the final result re the shape and size. Re the open wounds, I am really concerned though because they don\'t seem to close up and even when they do for a while, the next morning it is all opened up again, looking like deep lesions, white and moist and nothing is helping with that so far. I\'m mostly worried because during the PMMA procedure some material was injected directly into that scar to try to make it \'flatter\' so it was done very superficially and my concern is that some material has piled up in those lesions, preventing them from closing. I\'m not sure what to do with something like that...

I would be in direct contact with the doctor about what you expressed. I would be surprised that he would have varied from how he generally injects PMMA, at the scar . Talk to the Dr. , he knows exactly what he did and will most likely give you good advice. I would just really worry about infection right now. You truely do not want that while healing or anytime for that matter.

Ok so as I wrote on the other thread in detail, the wound is closing up nicely.

What isn\'t really happening is collagen building and in fact my Girth keeps going down vs up (expect for places where there was no PMMA at all at the base which I have noticed some forming).

I am wondering if I should try to hurry back to stretching. I know that the material will not move by now but by stretching don\'t I get the each material ball further away from each other causing more surface area for collagen to form around each ball individually and not \'lumps\' squeezed together? Also, doesn\'t stretching alleviate the pressure from the skin (more room) allowing collagen to build up more efficiently? I remember Dr C telling me I have quite a lot of scar tissue inside and that this would reduce my max growth at this round - I wonder if skin pressure will not have a similar effect.

I am wondering because 3+ weeks post op I would have expected to see some gain from the new PMMA and I am not seeing it.

Thanks!
