First post. Jointed board when I first had procedure done three weeks ago to reach out to another member (Farmerjohn) who was really helpful in reassuring me that the immediate results that looked horrifying would transform into something much better.
I do expect that everyone will think this is a shill or whatever. Not sure how to prove otherwise and not sure I\'m all that interested. FarmerJohn does have my personal e-mail that links to my social media accounts. I\'d ask that he keep it confidential but if he wants to vouch that I\'m a real person in mid-Atlantic area not associated w/ the practice go ahead.
The reason why I\'m posting this is because I\'m extremely happy with the results. When I pictured what I\'d want the results to be, it\'s exactly that. I\'m so appreciative to Dr. Loria for his work I wanted to post a nice review. I had my procedure at 7AM on Nov 7th. Afterwords, my penis looked like it went through a meat grinder or something. But a week later it looked better and now 3 weeks later, it\'s exactly what I wanted. (see pics). No lumps, very, very natural feeling. I probably won\'t go back for anymore, I\'m so happy with results. I have an average to just below average length and combine that with a thin shaft and I always just felt insecure.
As soon as I met a girl and it would get to the point of taking her home, I\'d think, \"well, hope she\'s not disappointed\". When I\'d walk into a room, I\'d know that most guys there were bigger than me. I played a lot of sports in highschool and college, and still go to the gym and in lockerroom situations I\'d play the towel dance because I was embarressed. I switched gyms once when a co-worker was going to the same one.
Not that I\'m huge now or anything. I mean, length wise, still average to below average. But it\'s thick. And looks just \"meatier\". It also is
Hanging a lot fuller and longer though, as Dr. Loria says, length gains occasionally happen but not to be expected. My
Flaccid length is a little better.
Erect, no diff. But like I said, it just looks a lot thicker and more impressive.
Yesterday was the first time I had sex since. This girl seemed to enjoy it in a different way then I\'ve experienced in my life. I\'ve been able to get women into it, definitely, but this time I could just tell that she loved the feeling immediately and I liked the tighter feeling too.
So, yea, I\'m very, very happy with the results.
To be fair there were certain things I didn\'t like:
1. The \"conference call\" Dr. Loria has with a group of other guys considering the procedure was just awful. First, you don\'t know what you are doing, so you call in and are asked your first name but with all the noise on the line some guys gave their full name, and while you are doing this, you don\'t know that everyone is listening in...you think you are about to be connected. So you hear guys giving their full name, etc. Also, for me, it\'s just such a private matter, I don\'t want to even anonymously be on a call with other dudes. Also, I\'m not a particularly bright guy and I don\'t hang with rocket scientists or anything but OMG people on the call could not formulate a coherent thought. Two hours of this, I litterally almost cancelled because I was thinking, these are the guys who are getting this done? What am I doing? It was really, really bad. I\'d recommend that he end that.
2. The post-care is a little more involved than lead to believe up-front. But I also think this i is why I got such good results. I followed it to a \"T\" and it was a little involved and the wrapping, rubber band, etc was not comfortable to wear for so long. BUT he does his best to wrap and do other things in such a way to make it as comfortable as possible. I\'m now at day 21 and the only thing necessary is a light wrap at night. So glad I\'m done with the rubber band, tight wrapping and most of all, the \"plastic ring\" contraption mentioned next.
3. Dr. Loria developed with some engineers, a plastic ring that is worn with straps that prevents the indentation from a rubber band/ring on the penis. It is worn against the pubic bone and trys to avoid the indentation. I found it useless in that, if you sit down, it pushes up and doesn\'t seem to form the barrier to prevent the filler from escaping. And it\'s unbelievably uncomfortable and can not be worn under clothing at work. I just used the rubber bands and don\'t really have an indentation or perhaps a tiny one, but it\'s fine est when pubic hair grows in.
4. He should definitely show patients what they will look like a week or so out so they don\'t have to come to
PhalloBoards freaking out.
Other than those four points, I\'m very happy and very appreciative of Dr. Loria\'s work. I suspect some complaints on the board from a few years ago is the result of Dr. Loria refining the after care. I do believe that the uncomfortable wrapping and bands etc are critical to prevent the filler from escaping. He also has added 2x a day massaging of the shaft to keep the silicone mixed with the agent it is mixed with. He thinks that without the massaging, the silicone can some out of the mixture and form lumps. I have zero lumps, completely smooth. Doesn\'t even feel like filler anymore feels like flesh, soft flesh, it\'s nice.
Am I concerned about the silicone? Yes, definitely. Who knows what the long term issues may be. All in all, considering this risk, based on the results, would I have it done again? Absolutely. I have confidence like never before. I\'m more confident in approaching women. I\'m even more confident at work. Sure it\'s all in my head (what does having a thicker
Dick have to do with confidence at work) but I\'m just being honest, and it did have that effect for me.
Pics w/ tape measure is before. Other two are today 21 days after.
