I’ve read the heck out of this board over the past month so it’s only fair that I contribute back. Thank you to all the men on here who have so openly shared info about their procedures. It has really helped me make what I hope will be the correct choices.
OK, here we go!
First, the obligatory “before” measures:
BPEL 5.5 MEG 4.5
I chose
HA due to established safety, reversibility, and widespread access to the procedure. Maybe
PMMA someday, but not yet.
I have before photos, but I’m typing this on a phone, will upload them when I have some after-pics to also include.
Ideal goal is to increase
Erect Girth by 1
Inch to 5.5. There is a lack of good info on correlation between
Flaccid Girth changes and
Erect Girth changes after fillers. (Please reply if you can point out a good info source on this!). I will ask the doc to do
Flaccid measurements before procedure since those are difficult to objectively measure.
Overall, I’m not particularly concerned about aesthetics. I am doing this to gain volume. I am happily married and monogamous for 20+ years and not worried about changes to the look. I am OK with looking a bit abnormal for the sake of gaining
Girth.
On the topic of the
Girth. I found it difficult to estimate how much new
Girth I wanted. So I did some math that I haven’t seen in this board. Or rather, some geometry. I measured the circumference and length of
Erect shaft only. (I have zero interest in messing with the glans). I plugged the shaft height and circumference into a calculator for volume of a cylinder. Then I added 1
Inch to the circumference and recalculated cylinder volume. Comparing the change in volume to the original volume, adding one
Inch to my shaft circumference results in a 50% gain in volume! This is an easy and excellent way to illustrate how a change in
Girth has a huge impact on overall size. I feel like this should be a method that is used more often to evaluate size change.
As for my one
Inch / 50% volume goal…. I think I may be being a bit aggressive. But I am back to evaluating the correlation between
Flaccid and
Erect Girth changes, and since I am looking for
Erect Girth, I’m aiming high. I am starting with 10 units (12ml) of Versa
HA, with the option to add more during the procedure if the doc feels like it is safe and necessary to get me closer to my ideal. Given my statistically shorter shaft length, we both hope that the 12ml will get me close to the full
Inch Girth gain (Again, length and cosmetics are irrelevant to me).
Speaking of the doc, I have seen clinics that allow mid-level practicioners to do injections. I work in an unrelated field of health care and as result of that experience I have an innate distrust of mid-levels. I wanted an MD doing all the work and that definitely was a factor when evaluating where to have the procedure done.
I had conversations with two board sponsors about the
HA procedure. The first was
PhalloFILL. While I ultimately did not choose them, they were the “close second” and I think I would have been very happy with them. I will not name the second board sponsor. I had a great initial experience with them, but once I got on the phone with the MD for a consult I lost my sense of comfort. The conversation did not go well. I got “talked at” instead of “talked with”. The doctor was obviously in a car in a speaker and gave me 6 minutes of his time in total. I could have gotten over that, but I also had issues with the business end / pricing model that they used. I’m sure they produce many happy patients, but in the end they just weren’t for me.
The doctor I chose is not a sponsor here. However they are very experienced in this procedure and I had an excellent telephone consult with the MD. Their business model was more of a fit to what I wanted. As long as I am happy with the end result, I will disclose the name of this practice. If I need to proceed in some other way to conform to policies on this board, feel free to let me know.
So here I am, 14 days away from the procedure. I think my goals are a little different from many of the stories I’ve read on this board since the cosmetics and the
Flaccid form are irrelevant to me. I will be happy to post lots of pics and answer questions as I go. If anyone has specific questions or wants me to observe or document anything along the way, please feel free to ask!
