TOPIC: How long did it take to get back to full firmness?

Hi there - recently had PMMA done 7 days but overall feeling is about 80% hardness as opposed to pre injection feeling. It’s a bit squishier than before- for those who had Bellafil or PMMA - did your hardness ever get back to pre levels? And how long did it take? Obviously factors like amount etc effect it but does PMMA harden over the next few weeks?

I'd say 2 weeks or so. I wouldn't stress about it. I'm sure this is a change in routine for you. All sorts of factors (sleep, diet, exercise, personal/work stress) comes into play. At this point, you might be obsessing over it, which I'm guilty of too post-procedure, but focus on day to day and getting back to an active routine by the start of 2nd week.

I think my wife prefers the stiffness I had before the surgery? I was curious if overall stiffness returns as the collagen forms - the overall swelling seems to have gone down

I got Linnea Safe and it’s super firm. It’s a bit squishy but feels like a silicone sleeve when Flaccid, if that makes sense. But when Erect it hardens of that makes any sense? I have not read of any complaints on this filler. I’ve read plenty of squishy complaints about HA and fat transfer

Absolutely back at full firmness, and I'd say for me that was around day 26 based upon this phalloboards.info/forum/progress-reports...?start=15#1308718434

(looking at the collage)

When my EQ is 100% I'd argue it's even harder than before.
When you look at the diagrams of the dick and where the GOOD injectors put the filler, it makes sense.
I think the "squish" anyone talks about is likely down mostly to injectors going superficially, so that the outermost layer one feels is augmented surface layer. Whereas with good injectors they go between the two fascia, so it's just pressing outwards on the same skin layers you had before.

Think of it like a football, you have an air bladder, with a layer of leather on the outside.
Imagine injecting something between the air bladder, and the leather, but then still putting EXACTLY the same volume of air into it. The leather is still going to feel the same, if not firmer, because it's stretching more - in the case of human skin, of course, we grow new tissue to account for that. But the premise is the same, the PMMA, HA, whatever, go into a layer where it is NOT felt directly. Unless of course you have a shitty bargain bin injector.

EDIT: to clarify, if you look at the collage, I thought my swelling was gone on 8/5, 12 days post procedure. I was wrong, as you can see from the increased vascularity and recession near the base in the latest photo.

I would say I have better firmness after my first round than before. I’d say give it up to 8 weeks.

For me like three weeks.

I will say at poor EQ its slightly softer than before especially where the product is, but at 75%+ EQ it’s an improvement in hardness

for my very first round of Ellanse; i was rather "squisjy" for over a month. ive posted here in various threads. but I would say roughly 6-8 weeks.
