And the guy u mentioned have had similar or worse results
I'm sorry but I wouldn't even remotely compare McLovin19's case to the aforementioned cases, apples & oranges entirely. Hoddle posted closer comparisons (in the 4th response to this topic) and I myself have experienced the "dense swelling" indicated by McLovin19 in his descriptions & pictures, all of which have subsided.
Given no report of pain, infection, worsening of condition, or Necrosis, it's a bit irresponsible to cite the aforementioned cases in relation to what we're seeing here. Their results don't compare, and I've warned you (Toothman) about baseless fear-mongering before. I understand you had less than desirable results from a European practitioner, but that doesn't make all complications one & the same.
Just take even one of your examples like Miracle, his issue had to do with a complication stemming from silicone micro-droplets and not PMMA, and required a completely different kind of intervention... yet you mentioned it here anyways. That is neither constructive or insightful, and just adds to the confusion unnecessarily. Be mindful moving forward, you were already suspended once from the forum due to negligent postings.
I wouldn't be alarmed given the information & pictures presented here, and I'd stay tuned for a professional opinion in the near future.

Thanks Skep,
As of now things don’t seem nearly as bad anymore, I’m in no way unhappy with the procedure. These are part of the risks we all are aware of going into it, I didn’t have a perfect penis before nor do I expect to have had one after.
Here was Dr C response email to me:
Yes, I’m sorry for not coming back earlier. I’m going a little crazy here with the office communications.
I checked your file, and I checked Wade's email history.
I saw that back in June 2015 you reported swelling at the base that went away in one week after taking 400 mg of ibuprofen every 8 hours.
Also, I have looked around for an intelligent response based on facts, but I cannot find anything that is satisfying because there are no reports of complications like this.
Of course, I don’t want you to go through more episodes, but I question myself if the fact that your tissues are so mobile (uncircumcised), and that we have done more treatments than what is recommendable, have a role on this.
The approach five years ago was very mild, and the response was good. Based on that experience, my best recommendation at this moment is to continue with ibuprofen 600 mg three times a day until you can find a way to use prednisone, and only if the reaction lasts beyond the week.
Please let me know what you think about this, or if you can get the prednisone treatment that I’d love to see you have since I believe that this medication will prevent further episodes.
Here is the dose that I would prescribe in a case like yours:
————
Prednisone, five mg., tablets, a total of 30 tablets.
They are taken first thing in the morning, orally, one single dose, for seven days:
1st day, seven tablets
2nd day, six tablets
3rd day, five tablets, and so on, until the 8th day when you take the last one.
————
There are no signs of infection, so we can scratch-off the possibility of a biofilm.
Please let me know what you think and update it at any time.
Regards,
