It is definitely wrong for Heimdal to stretch and hang whilst healing is in progress, using (clinically) unsterilised equipment and materials. When complications do occur, then aspersions? There are cases of complications among patients of both doctors, but are the reports in the correct perspectives (in terms of research criteria)? We should pay attention to the objectivity, depth and far reaching effects of our posts so that new discoverers of the forum are either not misinformed or overburdened with much unnecessary reading. For example, most other regions may not have the facilities (equipped hospitals etc.) that Heimdal has had. Is his case an additional PMMA risk factor? Can we have a conclusive answer by reading this thread or even the whole forum? Bacteria are adept at finding new \'pockets\' to reside in and quickly becoming resistant when in continuous contact with a drug. Systemic ingestion of antibiotics and frequent flushing is what\'s practised in our region and the results are rapid. I hope all goes well soon ...
You are absolutely right in almost everything you say. Especially in parts where I myself have probably caused these problems. I am not blaming Dr. N. about anything.
Only thing Dr. N. may have done \"wrong\" is that additional anesthetic shot she gave me middle shaft. I do not know what kind of anesthetic she used. Was it with adrenaline or without adrenaline. If it were with adrenaline, that would explain why it got necrotic about a week or so after the procedure was done.
Only thing that I do not agree with you is after care methods whether one should use Dr. N\'s or Dr. C\'s.
I am seeking methods which give me the best possible visual outcome. I achieved that on my round 1 when doing similar after care methods as I did at this second round which almost turned out to be a disaster (which I am luckily now recovering).
Few differences which I made or more likely added to my after care were
Hanging (it was supposed to be lightweight, probably shouldn\'t done that and stick only ESL 40 extender with very light stretching).
There is no difference how
PMMA behaves under your skin after the injection, no matter who injected it. It is going to be movable few days after the injection and in my opinion one should try and do everything he possibly can during those few days to smooth things out. My approach probably was too aggressive on this second round which may have influenced in some way with the infection too.
This round I added the
Hanging to the after-care protocol (which may have been too aggressive approach, I am not sure about that yet as weight I were
Hanging was very very light). Most likely the cause for my problems is the impetigo contagion which I had going on while going under the Dr. N\'s needle so to speak.
At that time I didn\'t know that I had impetigo, that diagnosis I got following tuesday after the procedure was done at saturday. Doctor prescribed oral antibiotics right after that diagnosis, but at that point it was too late so they had to take me into hospital. Impetigo is caused by staphylococcus bacteria and it was staphylococcus what they found from my shaft and from my system overall.
I had few of those impetigo \"bruises\" at the base of my shaft and that another anesthetic shot mid-shaft is most-likely been the route for staphylococcus bacteria to get in my shaft as those cavities which emitted puss were located at the both sides of the anesthetic shot injection location. To add this it might have been anesthetic with adrenaline which seems to be causing
Necrosis in itself on some body parts.
I think these few details explains everything quite comprehensively.
It seems that I have gained from this round, but don\'t know yet how much. I measured my midshaft
Girth with the bandage on (not very thick, but it probably gives atleast 1cm extra
Girth total) and it was 15.5cm\'s yesterday. I am happy if I reach 13.5cm midshaft
Girth with this round, which is pretty reasonable and possible outcome in my opinion as I started with 13cm max midshaft
Girth this round. Everything over 13.5cm is just extra which I am glad.
