Here is a summary of my experience having 3 rounds of
PMMA done at
Avanti Derma. On 2019/10/03 I had my first found done. The travel experience was pleasant. I opted for the medical shuttle which I highly recommend. Taking the shuttle makes the process of crossing the boarder into Mexico effortless, there is a special line that never seems to have any amount of traffic. I stayed at the Grand Hotel for convenience. I found the room service food pretty good and being about 10 minutes away from Avanti made the process very smooth. I believe there is a special rate for Avanti Patients as well.
For my first round I opted for the ultimate package which included a full round
PMMA,
HA glans, PRP, Phallotox and red light therapy. All three of my rounds were completed by Dr. M. I could go on and on about the details of the stay and process, but I feel that would have little value to those reading this review. What I will say is that
Avanti Derma exceeding my expectations for a place offering penis enhancement in Tijuana. Ian was very helpful, friendly, and courteous. Dr. M was also very easy to deal with, attentive, friendly, and professional.
The process of having the procedure done was almost completely pain free with only minor bruising and some impressive swelling. For my first round I stayed at the Grand Hotel for 2 days and followed up with Ian for aftercare every few hours. Based on some advise I read on here for my first round I avoided taking the ibuprofen (some members had theories that taking ibuprofen diminished gains). I can safely say, based on my own experience, that taken the ibuprofen during round 2 did not change my outcome. For me, the most difficult part of the process was learning the rolling technique of the aftercare.
For all my rounds I asked Dr. M to use as much product as possible and max out my
Girth. I also stated that I wanted as much of the 30% product in each round as possible. The end result of round 1 approximately one month later was .5
Inch of both
Erect and
Flaccid Girth. If I recall corrected, on my first round, I ended up with one good lump to the right side of mid-shaft.
On 2019/10/22 I returned for round 2. Having spent quite a bit on travel and procedure my first round I opted to have just a full round, PRP, and the glans done. I am not sure if I had unrealistic expectations of round 1, but from my experience, round 1 was quite underwhelming. My individual results were nowhere near as impressive as some of the other first round cases I had read about on this forum. Yes, I had netted .5 in
Girth increase, but the overall appearance of my unit left a lot to be desired. I had a few unsightly lumps that would require attention. Additionally, I noticed that the product abruptly ended at the
Circumcision scar which looked kind of funny. I also had an edge near the top of base where the product stopped reaching the base leaving an off looking lump more or less. That being said, I expected these kind of issues. It would be foolish not to consider
PMMA a multi-round process, if only it were priced this way.
By round two I had the post care process down and opted to only stay the one night before returning home. One month post round 2 my measurements were approximately another .5
Inch in both
Flaccid and
Erect Girth. Round 2 really smoothed out my complaints from round 1. I would not say I was completely lump free. but the overall appearance was much more consistent now. I had specially asked Dr. M to work the area in front of the circ. scar as much as possible.
Unfortunately, I am out of time for now. I will have to make round 3 and my overall thoughts of
PMMA / Avanti its own post. In summary, my initial experience with Avanti was positive. My initial measurement were 6" length by 5"
Girth Erect and 4 1/2 by 4 1/2
Flaccid before having
PMMA done. Each round of
PMMA added .5"
Girth up to the circ. scar. My first round resulted in more lumps / unevenness than my second (I partially blame this on the aftercare learning curve. To date I have had no major complications from
PMMA. I do have some complaints / regrets about the process, I will discuss this more later.
Up next, Round 3, long-term outcomes, thoughts and discussion.
