Some Advice For Newbs
Time Is A Factor
Penile enhancements like
PMMA are permanent... Which means the sooner you get them, the more you get out of them! The longer you wait, the less you'll be able to use it before it stops working or you die. There's good incentive to jump in sooner than later for these reasons. Also, if there any adjustments that need to be made, you have plenty more time to address that as well.
Budget for Minimum Two Rounds
What I learned and realized is that beyond any care given by Avanti (or likely anyone else) your own anatomy will play a role in the aesthetics of the final results. For example, my penis has "tight spots" where after 4 rounds, I have the same "low spots" every round. This has nothing to do with Avanti, and they can't control that. Although the final result for me is quite good, the 1st round revealed these areas where corrections had to be made. There's no way to really know for sure how your penis will react to the filler until you receive it, so even if there's a perfectly even distribution by the doctor, there may be some natural migration caused by your own anatomy. For this reason, you should expect to anticipate at least a follow up visit for aesthetics. I'm not telling you that you'll need it. I'm telling you to "plan for the worst" and don't put yourself in a situation where you can't afford a follow up, and perhaps end up needing it. If you can't afford 2 rounds, you can't afford 1. This is my own personal advice. If you don't think you can afford more than 1 round but still want to go anyway, don't go for more than 1/2" in gains in that single round. It takes too much 30%, and the 30% is much harder to get aesthetically appealing than the 10%.
Length Before Girth
If you want length and
Girth, focus on length first. Make
Girth your final gambit. In my experience, the
PMMA handles incredibly well while using compression hangers with heavy weight. Frankly, I was astonished. That being said, once you get so much filler, you won't be able to "grip" your internals of your penis, and the outcomes will be limited. I can only suspect that the only way to hang for length after
PMMA is to use vacuum hangers, though I have not yet been able to try.
Good Vibrations
Get some type of small vibration device, like a female vibrator or equivalent. I used my wife's Magic Wand. This really helps "massage" the penis in ways your fingers just can't. I also feel like it went a long way in preventing nodules, as the vibrations really helped "break things loose" during the healing process at the entry points. I also firmly believe that the vibration increased my rate of healing, and more quickly reduced swelling.
Pump It Up
Pumping works great after
PMMA, too. However, I have reason to believe that the hyperpigmentation I experienced may in part have been due to over-pumping in the past. I cannot say for certain either way, but if you're pumping, make sure you're not overdoing it or letting your
Dick turn purple or get spots. If this is you, know that my unscientific theory could pertain to you too, and you may experience a little darkening of the penis. That being said, if you're pumping
the right way, slow and steady I believe you can likely create more "space" and elasticity in your skin for better results and maximum gains.
Stay Off The Boner Pills
Whatever you think is a good idea for blood flow or confidence in yourself at the visit etc... You're probably wrong. Do not take anything like viagra or
Cialis at least a week before your appointment. Get your body nice and clean and natural. I made the mistake of having 20mg of
Cialis in my system from
2 entire days prior to my Round 2 procedure... This resulted in inferior results, since I got semi during the procedure and reduced my available space, in addition to putting too much blood in the penis causing bleeding, which is bad for the procedure.
Supplements
If you plan on taking supplements, just know that things like collagen take around 30 days before they're really "in your system"... So if you start a week before you go, or right when you get home, you're likely not going to experience any benefits. If you're going to get on a supplement routine, start at least 30 days before your procedure and get it all in your system. At each of my visits, I'd take collagen pills right after Ian gave me the clipboard to fill out the paperwork to have some fresh collagen going by the time the procedure was done. Of course, I'd already been taking collagen months before each procedure, too.
During Your Stay
Take advantage of the shuttle service; it's worth it. Also, I recommend staying at the Grand Hotel with the discount you get mentioning Avanti. While there, there are lots of good places to eat. Feel free to walk around during the day and check it all out. There's a place nearby called Rokkakkei that's truly incredible. The quality and quantity of food you get there for the price is hard to beat. You always hear people talk about the steakhouse across the street, but I feel like Rokkakkei is the real gem.
You can also walk to the pharmacy across the street (there are tons) and load up on pretty cheap meds. I'd buy migraine meds for my wife which are $200+ in the states, even with insurance, for $40. I'd buy my eye drops for my glaucoma for about 25% the cost in the states, even with insurance. You can buy viagra or
Cialis or any other reasonable, non-controlled substance med for dirt cheap. It's a good way to help make the most out of the trip. There's even a pharmacy on the 1st floor of the same tower Avanti is in, and they may have what you need without leaving the building.
