TOPIC: AFTERCARE

Sorry - I should have clarified. For the glans he uses a mix of HA/PMMA. I did this during my first procedure as well and was pleased with the growth.

The actual implant is not as soft as I imagined it would be, it has a firmness to it. Do you think the compression bandage causes this? Meaning making it denser to conform to the shape of the penis? And then once it's shaped properly get softer and feel more natural over time?

I'm asking you this because in some ways the aftercare is related to my question and you have had the experience of the graft longer than I have. Your knowledge would be greatly appreciated ?

Wearing a bandage for longer is necessary for the dermal graft type of procedures. It will get softer as it integrates with your tissues, although I also had fat augmentation with mine so never really experienced any type of firmness. I have heard of this happening with Surgimend though and it will improve with time. If not, you can consider adding a layer filler. A doctor should be able to advise here.

@SouthBay612
First things first. track your glans extremely well as it is likely you will lose most of your gains there. Hopefully you got some before measurements to compare to the now measurements. Check again in a few weeks. Mine glans gains were all gone after a few weeks.

As for aftercare. I don't want to go against any doctor. So take all this as you see fit. IF it were me, I would unwrapping the bandages after the first day or two, cleaning and heat massaging and shaping. I would then be using some sort of wrap to hold a uniform shape and reduce swelling.
As I have stated many many times. I heat and shape/roll/massage/ multiple times per day.

Im not sure what you mean by contrary. I have been saying for many years that weights after a lig cut is crucially imperative to maximizing results.
- with this said: many people who get injections and length at the same time will have a harder time with their aftercare. But, hopefully they will be able to make up some ground after the filler/injections/grafts/etc have set up. in addition, It is NOT recommended to use any device that will compress upon/onto the newly filled shaft ( like a vac device and sleeve ) . nooses are best.

hope this helps. shoot back any questions that you have.

Thanks! Might be an issue if semantics. What I’m describing as a bandage may actually be a wrap. It is essentially a self-adhesive 3M type of wrap, and the intent is to maintain shape for a few weeks.

What I said was contrary was stopping the weights for a few weeks so as not to disturb the filler. In this thread the norm seems to be using weights right away after filler - but by using some type of noose it prevents the filler from being disturbed. I just don’t have this noose.

fell free to post a pic here or message me one of your wrap / bandages. but it still sounds like something that I would remove in order heat and shape things. but thats me. and I would have my new wrapping products on hand.
as for nooses, there are many kinds out there. you may want to try a few. but it would be good to keep the penis stretched out after filler injections. As for grafts though, I cant say with certainty. if your graft is old and settled in, then it shouldn't be a problem.
As for weights, the sooner you can get back to them the better for the lig cut, but strethcing that you can/should be doing now will help towards both procedures. get a noose.

If you have to stop stretching for whatever reasons and there isn't an option to follow all this advice - then the next best thing would be to simply focus on the shape and be diligent with your efforts to maintain the look you want.

Thanks @Texas ! I’ll get myself a noose. In the meantime I’ll continue shaping.

Will PM you on the wrap to get your thoughts. Thanks

@ Coffee

Coffee has impact on metabolism/ collagen production?
So that its good when you drink a daily cup of coffee days/weeks after a session?
(not too much for sure vasoconstriction..)

@ Supermarket near Grand Hotel

I do not want to walk a lot the first 3 days going to … buffet etc. Because of potential product migration
Is there a supermarket nearby? That I have some healthy stuff in the hotelroom?

Didn't see / use a supermarket. Did order roomservice for first 3 days. Then restaurants right across the street.

There's a smart and final one block up that runs parallel to the Grand. If you walk out the front door cross the street walk up that block and it's on blvd Salinas, It's close

There are a variety of topics discussing these matters, and you can even UberEats items from convenience/grocery stores if need-be. You'd be surprised how easy it is to walk around post-op with dermal filler injections, and from the Grand Hotel (under the assumption you are staying there), much of what you need is within a reasonable walking distance away.

While I doubt these travels by foot will create an issue with "migration," you could always do your shopping ahead of time (in other words, book a day ahead).

And of course, there is Hotel Room Service.

That all said, this is Texas's Thread on Aftercare and I ask we not veer too off topic, thanks

Another Aftercare Question:

Even better to use the stretcher is to stay erected as long as possible.

So the best would be:

- Use Tadalafil ?

- To buy a Vibrator to use it just on the glans to stimulate ? Or this can cause product migration ? I m scared to use the vibrator ? Better to use the hands on the glans ?

@Texas

@Wet hot rags (massage)


What about putting the rags in a electric teasmade with water ? - After that press them a bit out - that they are not too wet.

A what ?

I dont think it matters how you get your rag HOT. and whether or not you ring it out would be entirely up to you. Maybe you like it wet.

This is not entirely accurate actually. Being Erect is NOT the same as being in a stretcher. 1. the stretcher would keep your Cock pointing down which is where it is best pointed. 2. you can actually stretch your Cock further than it can Erect itself. which in theory could help with overall length gains in the long run.
