I just had my procedure two days ago, and honestly, it was a pretty scary experience at first.
I was awake the entire time they gave me Valium, but Dr. Thiele needed me conscious to tell him if I was feeling pain. Every time I did, he injected more local anesthetic.
At one point a vessel burst, and he said he had to seal it off immediately or he’d have to stop the procedure. I was terrified I might lose my penis, but thankfully he got it under control. Because of that vessel, he couldn’t safely do the full 1-
Inch ligament release, but he managed about ¾
Inch along with the V-Y plasty and a silicone spacer, so there’s still a noticeable increase in size.
He measured by stretching and marking the skin on my thigh the large line was my original size, and the smaller secondary line shows the gain. I’ll have a better idea once swelling goes down, but the difference looks promising so far.
Dr. Thiele told me:
• 30 days before resuming sex
• 90 days before unprotected sex (to prevent infection)
There’s still pain, but the prescribed meds are helping. I’m really grateful that he coordinated directly with the pharmacy to make sure I wasn’t in pain during or after surgery.
I’ve already had morning erections, so the tied-off vessel thankfully didn’t affect my erectile function. I still have gauze on, but from what I can see, the incision and scar look minimal. I’ll try to post pics and a size update sometime next week once the swelling settles.
