TOPIC: Dr Carney Ligament Release one year review (Photos Inside)

Like many posts that i have read, taking showers in middle school was a horrible experience. Something just wasn't right and I couldn't quite put my little finger on it...HA High school wasn't much easier but at least i didn't have to take a shower in GYM class anymore. I would say my stats were 2 inches FL and I would turtle down to 1 Inch. My EL was probably 4 inches maybe 4.25 inches and my EG was probably around 4.75 inches. My Dick would stick straight out and did not hang down so when wearing basketball shorts I would stick out so you could see my little Dick. I was always adjusting to keep this from happening. When I was Erect I would be straight up and down. I had a couple of opportunities to have sex in High School even with a virgin but never did due to anxiety. I didn't have sex until i was 26. Between my little package and my acne I was extremely shy and insecure, I would say borderline body dysmorphia. Every year i had to get a physical in order to play sports, my senior year my Dr didn't even make me drop my pants he felt so bad for me.

My 20's weren't much better, every new job i had to get a physical and even the chatty Dr would get quiet after i dropped my pants. I went to college for an engineering degree and made it to my third year and left because i hated being around by peers because I was so shy and embarrassed. Online degrees were not offered back in the 90's unfortunately. After I left college i gained weight and filled in my 6'3" frame and my acne cleared up. The women at my jobs started to notice me and show me some attention. When I was 26 I hit the gym and gained 20lbs of muscle and women really started looking at me. I enjoyed the attention and gained a lot of confidence. Finally I met my girlfriend at 27 and dated her for about ten years. We had marathon sex about 15 times within a 24 hour period. Between the marathon sex and the edging that I did ( I did this for stamina ) i believe that i gained a little in length and Girth. My stats were probably 2.5 inches FL 4.5 inches EL and closer to 5 inches EG.

I remember getting tons of spam on my AOL email account for pills and creams and devices to make your Dick bigger and I would laugh because a pill will not make your Dick bigger. I also remember seeing an article around 2001 where they were doing new penis enlargement surgeries and I figured that I would get that done within a few years. shortly after that I read where someone had lost the ability to have sex after the surgery so I forgot about having the surgery done.

I have probably had the opportunity to have sex with 50 women in my lifetime but i rarely put myself out there. I have had a couple of bad experiences and those experiences are the ones that i will always remember and harp on. I always dated women who were average or below average so that they would be more forgiving. I never dated the hot chick that flirted with me.

When i was in my early 40's (I have always looked 10 years younger) I went on tinder and managed to get a 20 year old to date me, Of course i said that i was 32. I took her to INN N Out and then to a motel. She started taking off her clothes and when i pulled down my pants i saw that she was looking at my package and when she saw it her eyes got big and she looked up at the ceiling and was looking around like she was saying i'm not looking at it. Inside i was laughing my ass off and thinking nothing is going to stop my one and only tinder hook up...HA

I'm 47 now and about 4 years ago i stumbled onto PEGYM and MOS and started doing some PE. My starting stats were 2.75 inches FL 4.5 inches EL and 5 inches EG. With a year of manual PE and some Hanging i only gained .5 inches EL. Last year in October of 2020 i went to see DR Carney for a Ligament Release (MEGA MAXL) after seeing Havingfuns post on Phallo 2.0. Dr Carney is a very good and nice Dr who takes his time to explain everything to every single patient, that's why you should expect to have to wait over an hour past your appointment time to see him. I'm saying this because I saw some negative comments on the web about having to wait for him past appointment times. When you go into the examination room you will have Dr Carney and his assistant who was a male at the time and also one of the girls will sit down and take notes. Dr Carney placed himself sitting in the corner and had me drop my pants, the female assistant was sitting by the door behind me and couldn't see me which i appreciated. I wasn't as nervous as i was when i dropped my pants for the Drs in my 20's. Dr Carney gave some technical words for his assistant to write down as notes and after a couple of minutes she left. He then explained the procedure to me and pulled my Dick out and to the left and right. He told me that I have some extra skin on the top base of my shaft where it connects to the pubic area and he also said that i had a turkey neck. He said that 1.5 to 2 inches FL is probably achievable and some people can gain EL with Hanging weights. Dr Carney emphasized the importance of one week after the procedure to start pulling on my Dick a couple of times a day and work up to several times a day and then when i can to wear the ADS for six months. I asked him to show me the length and placement of the incision and he said about 3 inches vertically on my pubic area. I had seen Havingfuns pic so i knew what to expect. Dr Carney felt my thighs and was looking for fat for the FFT as well but i had none, i wanted to focus on the length first and then get Girth done at a later time anyway. I also asked him about wearing a drain after the surgery and he said no I wouldn't need one which surprised me. Maybe Havingfun needed one because of all the muscle Dr Carney had to cut through to get to the ligament...lol I believe that Dr Carney said he would use part of me to put a spacer so the ligament would not reattach, i just wanted to make sure nothing foreign would be added like silicone so i was happy with that. The exam was probably an hour long.

If you look at my first pics you can see that my skin is folded in at the base of my shaft, I can stick my entire fingernail into that space and that's the extra skin that Dr Carney was pointing out. When i got home I called them and put down the $1000 deposit and set up the surgery date, I also got a $1000 discount for having the surgery on Tuesday. I think the total was around 9k. I had the blood work done, it was just a $15 CBC blood draw.

I had considered going to Dr Soloman for this procedure as the scar is more minimal. Here is what I feel are the differences between the two procedures.
Dr Carney:
Long Vertical incision
Short healing time
Start manual stretching after one week
Long Scar
less scar tissue to break up
Teaching Surgeon
Repositioning and cutting of both the
top and deep suspensor ligament

Dr Soloman:
Small Horizontal incision
Long healing time
Start stretching 6+ weeks post surgery
Small Scar
More scar tissue to break up
FL will shrink while healing then stretching will bring back to normal then you get the gains
Closer to my location

If i could have a consult with Dr Soloman i would like to know if he did any repositioning and does he cut the top and deep suspensory ligament, maybe this could be asked in a Q and A session.

On a side note I too wish that Dr Morganstern would not bring up the 3 inches possibility.
I feel Dr Carney's 1.5 to 2 inches expectations are more than enough to sell this surgery.

Here are the instructions given by Dr Carney's office:

Mega Maxl
You are scheduled for a Mega Maxl on 10/XX/2020. This is considered a
cosmetic procedure only and is not considered medically necessary. It is important to
understand that although this procedure is for cosmetic purposes it is still a surgery that
requires a recovery period and return to work is not immediate. Pain and discomfort are
expected for the next 2 weeks and sutures are required for closure of the site.
The procedure involves the use of Epidural sedation given buy an anesthesiologist. We
perform a standard sleeve resection. Multiple dissolvable sutures are used to close the
incision site; a compressive dressing is placed for 24 hours. Narcotic pain medication is
prescribed for the first week, OTC NSAIDS such as Aspirin (Bayer, Bufferin, Excedrin),
Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB), Naproxen (Aleve) can be used after that.
You will find specific instructions included in this information sheet that must be
adhered to so your surgery will not be postponed.
Pre-op instructions include food, medications, showers, what to wear to surgery. Post op
instructions also include food, medications, showers transportation requirements and
returning to activities.
After your surgery you must be escorted/driven home by a responsible adult. You may
take a taxi car or shuttle if accompanied by a responsible adult who can stay with you
after the driver departs.
One Week Prior to Surgery:
a. STOP all aspirin and all aspirin-containing medicines (e.g., Anacin, Excedrin,
Pepto-Bismol). Check any cold or pain medication bottles to make certain aspirin is not
contained.
b. Two Days Prior to Surgery:
- STOP all nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., etodolac [Lodine],
fenoprofen [Nalfon], ibuprofen [Advil, Motrin, Nuprin], ketorolac [Toradol],
maproxen [Aleve], meclofenarnate [Meclomen], mefenamic acid [Ponstel],
naproxen [Anaprox, Naprosyn].
c. Night Before Your Surgery:
Take the first of two pre-operative showers. (see instructions below)
Pre-Operative Cleaning Instructions (bathing and showering instructions)
Pre-operative showers are to be taken the night before and the morning of surgery just
prior to your arrival. All adults are required to take a shower using Hibiclens Surgical
Scrub antibacterial soap. The reason is to remove as many bacteria from your skin as
possible prior to your surgery. If you are allergic to these products, please notify your
physician or nurse. Perform your shower as follows:
a. Generously lather your body, scrub well, and rinse. Give particular attention to
the groin and genital area.
b. Following the morning shower, do not apply creams, body oils, lotions, after
shaves, cologne, deodorants, or any other cosmetic product to the skin or nails.
On the Morning of your Surgery:
Take the second pre-operative showers. (see instructions above)
Start antibiotic. Take two the morning of the procedure
DO NOT TAKE digitalis medicines (e.g., Crystodigin, Digoxin, Lanoxin).
DO NOT TAKE oral antidiabetes medicines (e.g., chlorpropamide
[Diabinese], glyburide [DiaBeta, Glynase, Micronase], glypizide
[Glucotrol], tolazamide [Tolinase], tolbutamide [Orinase].
DO TAKE one-half of your usual morning INSULIN dose.
DO TAKE, with a small sip of water, ALL of your other usual morning
doses of regularly prescribed medicines. Use your asthma inhalers and
bring them with you to the hospital.
• Take your medicines as instructed above.
• You may brush your teeth; rinse your mouth, but do not swallow the water.
• Leave all jewelry (including wedding and all other rings)
• If you wear contact lenses, glasses or hearing aids, please bring a case or
container, and solution for contacts, to protect them while you are in surgery.
• Please bring a copy of your current medical problem list from your primary care
physician (family medicine/internist)
Pre-Operative Diet Instructions
Patients undergoing operative procedures involving sedation are required to
refrain from eating, drinking or taking anything by mouth for a stated period
prior to their surgery or procedure. The reason for this is to prevent
complications caused by nausea or vomiting while you are unconscious. Should
you vomit while in the unconscious state, the risk exists that the vomit may enter
your lungs causing serious complications such as pneumonia. These
complications may result in hospitalization following your surgical procedure. It
is for this reason patients are often instructed to have nothing by mouth after
midnight the night prior to your operation unless otherwise instructed by an
anesthetist.
Unless specifically instructed otherwise by your surgeon or anesthesiologist, patients of
all ages must observe the following diet restrictions before surgery:
Eight hours before the Scheduled Start of your Surgery:
DO NOT EAT any solid foods, including juices with pulp (e.g., orange juice,
nectars), lozenges, candy, chewing gum, and mints.
You may continue to drink up to eight ounces of clear liquids until 4 hours before
the scheduled start of your surgery. Clear liquids include Water, clear juices (e.g.,
apple, white g), black tea and black coffee. (no cream or sugar)
Four hours before the Scheduled Start of your Surgery:
DO NOT TAKE anything by mouth except for your usual medicines; follow the
Preoperative medication instructions above.
Risks/Complications:
These include but are not limited to: hemorrhage, pain, wound infection/ dehiscence,
removal of too little skin, removal of too much skin, and meatal stenosis. In addition,
the seriousness of the patient's medical problems has been discussed in depth. The risks
of myocardial infarction, failure, stroke, death and long-term stay in the Intensive
Care Unit (ICU) have been raised with you. Additionally, mentioned were the possible
serious complications of the anesthesia to include cracked teeth, airway damage,
aspiration, pneumonia, spinal headache, nerve damage, spinal canal bleeding, infection
and death. Your anesthesiologist will discuss the risks and complications in more depth
separately. Additional procedures may be necessary. You understand the procedure as
discussed, and agree to proceed with the procedure
Post-Operative Instructions:
Your operation was performed for cosmetic reasons
After anesthesia, begin with clear liquids. Avoid any heavy meals on the day of the
procedure. Depending on how you feel the following day, you may resume the diet you
normally follow.
Do not drive a car or operate machinery for 24 hours after anesthesia.
Do not consume alcohol, tranquilizers, sleeping medications, or any non-prescribed
medications for 24 hours after anesthesia.
Do not make important decisions or sign any important papers in the next 24 hours
after anesthesia. You should avoid any strenuous activity for two to three weeks. This
includes activities such as golf, tennis, cutting the grass, stretching exercises and so
forth.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
No intercourse or oral sex for 4 weeks or until cleared by the surgeon.
Wear light fitting clothing (boxers, gym shorts, or sweatpants) for the next two weeks or
until the suture material dissolves. This will decrease your discomfort with activity.
It may soothe the pain if you use Bacitracin ointment (over the counter preparation
found at any local pharmacy) on the incision 3-times per day.
You can expect swelling, bruising and discomfort following surgery – particularly for
4-5 days after the procedure. In some cases, patients can experience swelling, bruising,
and discomfort up to 2 weeks post-surgery. This is all depending on how you heal.
Please try to stay off your feet as much as possible the first week after your procedure
and lay with a pillow under your midsection when relaxing during the first 48 hours
post-operative. Care of Dressing
Please leave the dressing in place for five (5) full days following your Mega Maxl
procedure. The dressing added to your penis is a “pressure dressing” designed to reduce
post-surgical swelling. Ideally, we want you to keep the dressing on for five (5) full days
following your procedure. A key aspect of success in this regard is a sponge bath – no
showers or baths for five (5) days following the procedure.
If you “accidentally” have the bandage come off before the five-day window, you can
expect longer sustained swelling that slows recovery and delays when you can resume
sexual activity.
The ability to perform sexually activity is most commonly 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery
but in some cases can take up to 8 weeks.
Drains
Sometimes, the doctor will add a drain during your procedure. The
purpose of the drain is to reduce swelling and the potential for fluid
build-up in the affected areas. The red top tube associated with the drain should be
changed twice a day.
Typically, the doctor will have you keep the drain in place for 7 days following your
procedure. He will let you know via phone when you can remove the drain, based upon
the amount of fluid that is building up in the drain tube. Normally, you can remove the
drain after the red top tube is only 1/3 full for two consecutive days.
Very Important: Do not take drain and dressing off at same time, as this combination
can result in imminent balloon-type swelling!
Emergencies
In the event of a fever above 101 degrees Fahrenheit, priapism (an erection that won’t go
away after 2-3 hours) or the symptoms of “DVP” (shortness of breath, singular leg
swelling), called Deep Vein Thrombosis – a rare side effect of patients getting epidural
or spinal anesthesia – we suggest the patient immediately go to an emergency room in
order to confirm that more significant issues have not arisen. If you go to the emergency
room, please be sure and share Dr. Carney’s contact information with the attending
physician or urologist to support your care.

I bought the Hibiclens at walgreens and i called around Atlanta and got a nurse from a Home Health Agency to come and take care of me for 24 hours. I told Dr Carney's office that i would take the stretching device home with me from the surgery. I did not do any preoperative stretching although i did read that some Drs advise to do this. Dr Carney said no that i did not need to do any stretching prior to the procedure. I felt that i had done a lot of PE, Hanging, and pumping already over the years.

When you fly into Atlanta be careful when waiting for an UBER, Cars are lined up and they are coming up to you asking if you need an UBER and falsely claiming to be an UBER driver. Make sure that you only use the APP. I stayed at a motel just down the street from Morganstern Urology for convenience.

OK so here are my expectations, I just want to be normal and my normal is where a lot of the people that i read about on these sites are when they start doing PE. Not getting women looking up at the ceiling like I'm not looking at your Dick when i pull down my pants is a huge start. I'm not going to gain 2 inches FL and after several years of reading my expectations are modest. I hope to gain .5 to .75 inches in FL and .5 inches in EL. I feel that if i can get my Dick to point down that would be a huge gain. If you take your finger and point it straight at you with a slight downward angle and then take that same finger and point it straight down it looks twice as big. My minimum to feel normal is 3.5 inches FL and 5.5 inches EL. 4 inches FL looks big to me and would get me to never be embarrassed about pulling down my pants again.

On the day of the surgery i went into the same exam room that I was in on my first consult visit and waited for the assistant who then came and escorted me down the hall to the surgery room. I asked her how long the total time till i leave and she said it all depends on me. Sometimes she is there until 2am because the patient hasn't gotten over the anesthesia. I told her that i hope i recover quickly for her and we both laughed. I waited until the nurse called me in and she had me undress and put on a hospital gown. She got a warm blanket and put it over me because the room was cold. the room had three beds in it separated by curtains and at the end of it was a smaller room where the surgery took place. After about a 15 minute wait the Anesthesiologist arrived and then about fifteen minutes later they took me into the surgery room. The Anesthesiologist had me sit over the edge of the bed and lean down like im reaching for my toes and he put the needle in my back. He also asked me if i snore and i said no i don't think that i do. I think this is because they would prefer to not hear me snore for the next hour...lol maybe he was going to give me some anti snoring nose plugs while i sleep.

After they gave me the medicine they went off to the other side of the room and were chatting while getting everything prepped and i woke up from nodding off. I thought I'm going to see how long i can stay awake and i think i lasted another 60 seconds. When i woke up the Anesthesiologist was calling my name and he told me that i do not snore. The surgical assistant girls were quickly taking away all the equipment and were gone within about a minute. The nurse wheeled me out to the recovery area which was the bed she had put the warm blanket on me. Dr Carney came over after about 5 minutes and pulled down the covers and grabbed my Dick and stressed the importance of doing hand stretching after a week and work my way up to the ADS. He looked down and said much better and I said yes and he was off to the other guy in the room. The nurse gave me some snacks and drinks and i waited while i recovered. My nurse had called and left a message while i was in surgery so i called her and told her where I was and how to get to me and she showed up after 5 minutes. After about 20 minutes after surgery the nurse came and had me stand up to see if i was ok to leave but I got dizzy so I lay back down. After about 15 minutes she got me back up and I wasn't dizzy so they said I could leave. She reached and picked up my pants from the chair and i pulled off my hospital gown. My nurse was standing behind me on the other side of the bed and she walked around to my front, of course she was curious. I didn't know what my measurements were but for the first time i was not embarrassed and I had something Hanging down. I was standing nude in front of two women and I felt really free and anxiety free and normal for the first time in my life.

My nurse was surprised that they let me walk out of the building and not give me a wheelchair. I put my arm around her and used my other hand along the railing. I didn't feel that i was going to fall but for safety and liability purposes they really should wheel you to the car. When i got to the motel room i took a pain pill and my nurse asked about my surgery. I just told her i had extra skin on the top and that i was probably going to come back in 6 months and have my scrotal webbing taken care up and that it was removing extra skin under my penis down by my testicles. She said she didn't see it when she was looking and that i looked completely normal to her. Of course this made me feel good because no one would have said that i was normal presurgery. I then went to sleep, I do not get night erections so i didn't have to deal with that. I have no problem getting erections i just never get night erections.

I didn't need any assistance from my nurse, i could get up off the bed fine with a little help from my arms and lifting myself off the bed. Havingfun said that he had a lot of difficulty but i think this is because he is 250 lbs of muscle and that's a lot more to lift than i have. I really only needed the nurse to take me home. I went into the bathroom and measured and i was 3.5 inched FL and Hanging more straight down. I did think that the bandages were preventing me from Turtling so was wondering what i would lose when the bandage came off. They shaved me completely between my legs and they did a very good job, I didn't have one nick. I went for a short walk the next day and got tired quick and nauseous, i was probably no supposed to walk so soon but i was bored. The next two days I walked and got nauseous as well. I was getting worried because i was flying out on Saturday and didn't think to get some anti nausea medication. I did get nauseous on the flight and had the small bag in my hand ready to go into the bathroom if i needed to.

I made it home and realised that i had not bought any neosporin or vasaline like i had planned. I was just going to keep it moist while it healed. I looked in my cabinet and found a tube of salve and used that not realising it was a dolar store 7 year old tube. It made the area really red, i also used some hydrogen peroxide a couple of times and don't do that, it makes it red as well. I wasn't to worried about the scar because i have seen where you can get laser scar Removal and i plan to do that. I will post a before and after pic when i get that done. I measured throughout the day and i am 3 inches FL but Hanging straight down it looks a lot bigger than presurgery.

After a week i started pulling my Dick straight out twice a day for about a minute at a time and by about four days i was doing it several times a day. I then started wearing the ADS for 30 minutes at a time twice a day and by the fourth day i was wearing it most of the day. Week 4 i took a shower and lightly scrubbed the area and broke off the knot at the base of the incision which caused the Sutures to unravel. I wish that i would have not done that as i felt it needed another week to heal. mid way through week 5 i started Hanging weight with just a couple of lbs the first week and worked my way up. I hung weights twice a day for one hour with an LG Hanger and wore and ADS 12 hours a day for ten months. I do notice a difference in my incision that Havingfun. His angles down to the right by his shaft and mine is completely verticle.

After ten months of Hanging and stretching i am at 3.5 to 3.7 inches FL. I hope to get to 4 inches with a filler but we shall see. I have gained a little in EL but I was never able to reach fatigue, so I'm still trying to get some EL gains. I'm still hoping to get to 5.5 inches EL. I am 5 inches MSEG and 5.5 inches Girth at the base. I have a lot less anxiety anymore and i have been wearing basketball shorts every day for the past three months and not once have I looked down to see if it was sticking out, I can feel that it is down and flat. I also have much less anxiety when I pull it out to take a leak at a bathroom stall. I haven't had sex in a few years but i hope to fix that after I get a filler.

I did notice that my Dick was wobbly after the surgery. I don't know if i just got used to it or if things tightened up after healing but It doesn't feel wobbly now. I have read where some people who were much longer had to hold on to the base of the shaft when a chick rode them and i can see how this could be true. Being smaller i don't think that i will have this issue.

I realized that for the past 35 years I have been taking my hand and pushing down on my glans whenever I sit down and pee. I do this because since i was 13 whenever i would pee I would piss under the toilet seat. This is because i would retract to one Inch and my Dick would point straight out. I would lean over when i pissed so this did not happen but sometimes I didn't lean over enough and it would come out a little from under the seat so I have always had to use my hand. I no longer have to use my hand to push my glans down when I take a piss sitting down and I am still trying to get comfortable pissing without touching my Dick.

If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them if I can.

Here is a pic that I just took, the scar is not visible. I have a dark Circumcision scar from all the PE. I'll try some fire rolls when I'm all done to fix that.

Here is a pic of the surgical scar around the 4 week mark, it's red because of the crappy salve that i used.
also,
When I would sit down before the surgery I could see my Dick retract up to one Inch inside me, now when I sit down there is no retraction into me. I only retract from the Circumcision scar to the glans sometimes which I'm hoping Botox will help with.

My Erection angle was almost straight up, Now my Erection angle is about 2 - 3 inches higher than straight out which is fine with me.
also looking in the mirror I notice that my Dick has a very slight lean to the left when Erect. I can't see it when looking down at it.
I'm going to wear an ADS on my right leg and see if I can get it to go back to the right some. I just don't want a curve that's my biggest fear.

Results look good - I had the same surgery about 6 months ago and am scheduling Girth now!!

Thank You so much, Your results look awesome. I hope that your Girth procedure turns out well!

Great post even thou little confused so you gained 2 in in EL from your surgery ? And 2 in on fl?

If I am reading correctly, you just gained a 'little' in Erect length after 2 months. Assuming you mean about 1/2 an Inch?
I received a contact email from a Morganstern representative who wrote that they expect (but don't guarantee) 1 Inch of Erect length gain with 6 months of stretching.
They guarantee 1 Inch of Flaccid gain and expect around 1.5-2 I guess.

I am curious as to why they recommend a Hanger versus an extender, and how much weight they recommend? Also, did the nurse just drop you off at the hotel?

I will try to answer both of your questions.

1: Nothing in life is guaranteed!

2: I gained .25 inches in Flaccid length after the surgery and about .5 inches with ten months of Hanging weights up to 16.25 lbs and wearing an all day stretcher 12 hours a day.
I started at 5 inches Erect length and gained very little in Erect length, I am nowhere near 5.5 inches. I will continue to hang weights and hopefully reach fatigue and get some
more gains. Fingers crossed!

3: I have already made a lot of gains in my life from when I was younger. If I would have had this surgery in my 20's prior to all the PE and gains that I have had in my life then I would likely be sitting here saying that I have gained approximately what Dr Carney anticipated after the surgery.

My nurse stayed with me for 24 hours after the surgery but I didn't need her for anything.

I hope that helps!

I get it . Ur PE plus surgery has done the max posdible given your starting size -- very substantial in percentage terms -- more relevant than absolute inches .

You are now normal in length and more than in Girth. I don't want to sound like a therapist , but ur you .

You have an Average Cock now, very tall, not obese . If you're nice , funny , kind , and successful , you have it all .
My experience is that i a big Cock is a minor plus for women. It has a small overall impact . I'd say it's in the bottom 25 pct of priorities on average . Maybe higher for just a fling .

I
