I’ve been reading this board for over a year maybe even closer to 2 years gaining a wealth of information. So I’d just like to say thank you to everybody that has put their stories out there! It saved me from a visit to Dr Elist.
So my story is just like almost every on else, I was very self conscious about my size. Statistically I fell in the lower side of average on
Girth and average for length. I am definitely not a shower tho so
Flaccid made me feel like I was way below average. I was literally embarrassed to be naked in front of my wife of 10 years! I didn’t like going to pools and never wore athletic type shorts that I felt would show my mini bulge.
I decided to go with
PMMA because I hope I don’t have to do this too many more times. I realize that they recommend 2 treatments and a touch up but if I can get a decent gain, .5” or more, and have it look normal to the naked eye when flaced, I’ll be one and done.
My pre treatment measurements.
Flaced
Girth. 3.25 near the base to 3.75 at the neck.
EG 4.25 base to 4.75 neck.
Length NBPFL 3.25-4” depending on its mood.
Glands were 4.9 to 5+ with good EQ. I don’t think I ever measured flaced but it was larger than the shaft
I went with the Utmost package which is a really good deal. Dr
Morales had a discounted price of $4350. I was mostly interested in the PRP, IPL collagen booster, Phalotox to help prevent retraction and LED healing treatment but got the rest as a bonus.
I flew into San Diego on the 8th. Landed at 11:30am and took the shuttle service to the Grand hotel. The driver was at the bottom of the escalator with a sign with my name when I arrived. That was nice because I fly a lot and have to wait for hotel vans all the time. It’s the most annoying part of my job.
Anyway, it was a quick trip to the hotel and I was there before check in and way before my 4pm appointment. They didn’t have a room available at the time so I went to the hotel restaurant and had lunch while I waited. It was a decent restaurant and I thought the food was great, especially for the price. I ended up eating every meal at the hotel restaurant while I was there. I didn’t feel like venturing outside of the hotel although it looked safe, I decided not to.
At about 2:30 I was able to get my room, normal check in is 3:00. I sat around for a few minutes and then made the short walk inside the building to Avani Derma. I was planning on staying at the Marriott because I could have paid with points but decided not to for convenience to the office. It was a wise decision and I highly recommend staying at the Grand. I had 5 visits to the office between 4pm on the 8th and 9am on the 10th.
The procedure itself was just as stated before, barely any pain at all. I was worried most about the lidocaine because I had a few moles on my back removed last year and the numbing injection was painful! I don’t know if it was different from what I had before or if Dr
Morales was nicer about putting it in, like maybe she pushed the Liquid in slower. IDK but it barely hurt at all. The rest was pretty much painless although I was worried the whole time that the pain was just about to come. It never did.
She ended up putting in 21cc total. 12-30% and 9- 10%. After she was done I looked down and I was amazed! If I could keep this size I’d be done with one round. I know it will go down unfortunately. I didn’t take measurements right away because I was bandaged and then too worried about putting a dirty tape measure near the entry points. I’ve had a chance to disinfect the tape and right now, 47 hours after I’m at 5.75” FG at the neck and 5.5” FG at the base and 4” NBPFL.
The first night waking up every 2 hours to massage was hard. I was delirious and almost passed out a few times. I’m not sure what that was about but luckily I never did. I didn’t feel great about the job I was doing moving things around correctly either. I have another thread that I started when I hit the first bump in the road that details this part but long story short, the day after my procedure I had 3 follow up appointments. 9am, 1 pm and 5pm. I felt better about massaging the material after those appointments because I watched Ian do it all 3 times. The problem was, he never watched me. I was apparently pressing to hard and creating unnecessary trauma and swelling. I found this out on my last visit at 9am this morning on the 10th. So if somebody else has already said this I must have missed it but I highly recommend that you have him watch you once you think you have the idea. I think this would have saved me some unnecessary swelling and possibly a freak out moment.
As of now, I’m almost to the 48 hour mark post treatment. The bruising is mostly gone but I’m still swollen. More towards the head I believe because of my overly aggressive massaging.
I have alway been thin near the base, the skin seems very tight in that area to the point where it’s not allowing any more filler to settle there. I have been talking with Ian about this since day 2. I don’t want to push filler into that area just to have it get forced out into my fat pad. There’s already some that has made it into the pad and it’s hard to get a good angle to push it back. I just hope I haven’t already pushed too much into the pad. That would really suck!
Will continue
