TOPIC: James Elist Implant Failure (before AND after pictures)

Keep working at it and I believe you will get better. Look at all the options. I wish Hoddle and Miracle are more active now to give you some guidance.

I would write a letter to elist and send it registered and tell him you need your FULL money back including travel and so on, or you will file a law suite for mail practice and damages which will be much higher than money back. This is true.

If you contact a lawyer, I can be on the phone with you and him to help out in any way...You may PM me anytime. At this moment, I am in northern California.

Thank you for the response. Dr. Gelman MD examined me today. It does not look pretty. However, the coloring is not as bad as it was before. After the implant was removed, the tension that\'s stretching the skin to the maximum disappeared. As a result, the original coloring started to slowly come back (it does not look that scary now, thank God!).

My major problem is the penile retraction now. I lost at least 3 inches of the original length. Dr. Gelman wants me to wait for at least 6 months before I go under the knife (I might even need to wait for a year before another surgery). The key is to be patient now.

Thankfully, I can still get erections!

*Just a few days before the appointment with Dr. Gelman, Elist spoke to me personally and tried to talk me out of seeing Dr. Gelman. In the operative reports, he even had the nerves to blame me for the implant complications. Screw him. Oh well, I am not even sure if I would want to go through the trouble of finding a lawyer to sue him. I just have to find a way to move on with my life. I made the efforts to warn others, and that\'s good enough for me now. I have to concentrate on my recovery.

*Good luck with your recovery, too! After the implant is removed, you will recover much faster than you think. If you need help, Dr. Gelman is a great guy that you could consider! Even a doctor from Texas was the victim of Elist and flew to CA to see Dr. Gelman!

What was your original Stats? EL ?

I was going to get the surgery on December 7th of 2018 and after reading all of these stories here I have cancelled. You see I was one of those people that thought bigger was better but after reading the recovery time, scar tissue, and a whole lot of things it made me think that it might be better off to just forgo the surgery and get a penile pump if need be. It all depends on something that is less intrusive because this surgery does not look safe to me

One of Dr. Elist's Key moves is to blame the patient for any complications....

Holy shit. Thank you so much for sharing.

That honestly just scared the shit out of me. I'm making a Removal appointment with Dr Alter tomorrow.

What actually happened with your implant? Was that an infection?

Also when did you first notice something was wrong? Did you just wake up one day and it was necrotic?

The front of the implant exerts a lot of pressure on the thin penile skin in that area, Erection and retractions causes more friction and eventually the implant can easily break out the skin. It is just the worst idea for penis enhancement the world has ever seen. Years from now, it will be in history as a medical disaster that went/going un-punished.

Dr. Gelman at UCI Medical Center told me to wait for at least six months before he would consider doing any surgery for me. So in this time period, there\'s really nothing much for me to update. I just have to patiently wait for the wounds to heal. Thanks!

I am not a Dr, but for me; stretching and pumping (with tons of pain) had helped me reduce the damage from the implant. I still suffer from Peyronie\'s curvature, pain and lost Erect length...

Nevertheless, it is up to you to decide what is best for you!

Good Luck man!

Here\'s an update. I apologize if this picture grosses you out. Trust me, it took me a long time to make up my mind, take the picture, and post it here. My goal is to show other new/potential patients that if the penile implant ever goes wrong, you could end up in the same situation as I am. At this point, I still need help from Elist\'s medical staff, so I have decided to soften my tone in the emails to their office. I am not ready to speak to Medical Board of CA yet.

Dr. Ali looked at my incision line pictures and told me to rest for at least 4 weeks before starting rehabilitation. As you can see in the picture, because of the swelling (or maybe even scar tissue), the incision line portion looks like a mess right now.



Regarding my penis, well, because a portion of the shaft\'s skin went dead, Dr. Elist sutured the hole with dissolvable white Sutures. They were never really that absorbable. When I woke up today (12-03-2018), I noticed that I was BLEEDING a little bit as the remaining white Sutures were falling off. After taking a quick shower in the morning, all the remaining pieces were gone. There\'re tiny wounds on the shaft.

Truthfully, I might never post the picture of my shaft\'s current state here. A man whore who bangs prostitutes across Southeast Asia without ever using a condom and has contracted venereal diseases might have a healthier looking Dick than I do! The skin color of my penis is so much darker now. The wounds on the shaft certainly do not help. Dr. Ali assured me that everything would start to get better in the future. God I hope so.

Note: if you encounter the same problem as I do, please be sure to apply the antibiotic cream over any cuts that you might have. Trust me, the bacterial infection is no joke!

This might be my last update for December 2018. Merry Christmas folks ? If Santa Claus existed, my ideal present would be a healthy looking 7-8 Inch Cock (plus the $14000 refund check from Elist) ?

If you have medical insurance, I highly suggest you go and get a second opinion. It does not hurt, you most likely will get better medical advice than the typical elist office \"it will get better, just wait\" attitude. Dark skin like that on the incision line or on the shaft is very serious considering the length of time after surgery.

Are you on any antibiotics?

Please keep us posted, pix like these help you and us in many ways....Best of luck!

It looks like you are developing a keloid scar. Buy some silicone sheets for scars. Don\'t buy the gel.

I will keep you guys posted. Keeping my fingers crossed. I will never go back to the Elist office ever!

Good for you, smart decision.

Hey so my penis shaft skin is like a red color now after the implant. I'm getting it taken out. Did the pink color of the shaft return at all?

Man that incision elist left you is hideous... That bastard has no skill in suturing what so ever.. My original incision looked pretty bad like that when I first got implant in. It\'s been healing great since Dr. Gelman revised it

That doesn\'t look good If you decide to have treatment to fix the issue.

Absolutely, focus on recovering and bettering yourself. Anything we can do to help you out, just ask..... ?
