I had the MegaMaxXL (just the lig release--not a
Girth enhancement) done in March 2021, so a little over 2 years now. Overall, I've been very happy with it--here are my thoughts:
Pros:
* The procedure flattened out the pubic area, making fat less noticeable.
* The tightened public area (along with the lig cut) pushed the penis down lower (so it exits the body at lower spot). This causes the tip to hang down lower in relation to the scrotum, and is probably the most important part of the procedure as far as making it look longer. After the procedure, it's been very rare for my penis to stick straight out when being very
Flaccid or cold--there's almost always somewhat of a downward hang.
* The internal part of the penis can move a bit during sex. This provides an enhanced deeper sensation--almost in the prostate area. And to clarify--I know some have experienced some wobbling or something with a lig cut that negatively affects sex--I haven't had THAT much movement. The mechanics of sex are still normal--it's just enough movement to create pleasure there.
* The procedure itself was a breeze. There wasn't really any pain after, and I didn't feel like I was "recovering" from anything. It took about a month for the scar area to heal up and stop draining, but that was really the only recovery thing. They ordered a mild pain med (Tylenol 3, w/ Codeine) for me, but I didn't need it.
* Scarring isn't too bad. The skin in the scar area now is the same color as the surrounding skin. There is somewhat of a divot or depression in the area where the scar is, but I think that would be less so if I lost some weight. The divot also doesn't really look unnatural (it looks like it might be possible for the public fat to just sit that way), so it doesn't raise any questions among women as to whether I've had surgery. I should also note that I used Mederma scar gel and silicone scar patches for about 6 months after the incision healed.
Cons:
* Measured length on the ruler isn't so great. Measuring now, my measurements are IDENTICAL to before the procedure. Right after the procedure my
Flaccid length was a little longer, but it now "recoils" when
Flaccid about as much as it did before the procedure.
* The post-surgery stretching is a pain (literally). I was never able to figure out how to attach the Zen
Hanger that they gave me in a way that's comfortable. The
Hanger (for me) put a ton of tension on the outer skin on the top side of the penis, and very little tension on the internal "core" of the penis. Also, the device requires dedicated "workout" time to use it (vs. other
Hanging/stretching systems that you can use with clothes on).
* Cost--this one is debatable depending on your financial situation. The procedure for me was just under $10k (not including the cost to travel to Atlanta, or the prescriptions). When thinking about other non-necessities I could've spent this on (boat, camper, etc.), I think I've gotten my money's worth out of it. I think it's a nice enhancement, and it has increased my confidence a bit.
Overall I've been happy with it and I don't regret the decision. One thing I would like to bring up though, is that I think it's easy to get caught up thinking about how long your penis is in inches and wanting more when you you think about your size. But does true size really come from length? I think that volume/
Girth might have an even greater importance towards making a penis look bigger.
So currently I'm looking at a couple of things to go further with this:
* I think my length is limited by the amount of shaft skin I have. I've been looking into some of the devices that the
Foreskin restoration community is using to see if I can stretch my skin further.
* I'm looking into a
Girth enhancement, but I'm cautious. I had some filler put in in Chicago in late summer of 2021, but I haven't been happy with the results of that at all (didn't last more than a couple of months, and still left some lumpiness behind).
