My filler/swelling seems to bunch at my base a bit in a ring, although mine is very slight and not really noticeable unless I feel for it. Were you bandaged for a full day after the procedure? The hanger didn't work for me so they kept the bandage on for 24 hours--I wonder if that causes the filler to bunch up at the base, right where the bandage ends.
One thing about this process that surprised me was that it seemed more haphazard than I expected. There was no point where I sat down with Dr. Morales and we discussed what sort of results I wanted and what my options were to get there. I was basically thrust into the OR and had to communicate what exactly I wanted with 3 people staring at my dick under bright lights right before getting shot up with anesthesia. I ended up getting what was a lot more filler than I wanted in retrospect, and that can't be undone.
I also found it strange that they recommend the zen hanger but don't tell you this until after you arrive so you have to order it and wait a week+ for delivery. Meanwhile, when the hanger they provide doesn't work you're told to just bandage... but the bandage definitely scrunches your penis/skin so that doesn't seem good for how the filler settles.
Anyway, I started to regret my decision and e-mailed and Dr. C responded. He was very thoughtful and compassionate, and put me at ease.
At this stage, it's just too early to know what our outcomes are going to be. We're swollen like crazy and things will change a lot over the next few weeks and months. And worrying is pointless anyway. Any decisions we have to make like getting touch ups.... those decisions will come, but not now. Right now, the best thing for our results and our sanity is to just trust and stick to the process we started.
Thousands of guys before us have been on the roller coaster we're on now. The vast majority of them are happy with the results, no matter what problems they had along the way. Chances are we'll be good in the end. Wishing you the best, my brother.

Ive only been to two places for filler, but Avanti was about 1/3 the price. I've read through a lot of threads here, and one thing I appreciate about Avanti is they will put the maximum if you ask, whatever can be fit into your penis. But they will charge you the same, so I never understood the logic of paying the same for less if I can accommodate more filler. So I would always follow their advice and pump maybe 20-30 min twice a day if I could 5-8hg prior to the procedure.
Whatever size you're at it will probably be about .5in in girth gained after the swelling goes down in about 2-3 weeks. Aside from using the noose stretcher they gave you and manual light stretching grabbing the glans, you shouldn't be doing any PE. After about 8 weeks, you can do all the PE you want. Personally I use the hog stretcher from honestPE as much as I can, time under tension about 20min per session at 10lb of force because traction has been proven to increase length typically after 1,000 hours.
Anyway on my third session in November I had Avanti address all the problem areas in the attached photo. As I said multiple people on here have imperfections that they go back and correct. The neck area of the penis and the base area for instance. I had the same problem area as you on the base, which they corrected in the last procedure. The filler will become softer and more pliable overtime, just continue to do the massaging that Ian showed. My goal for my next round is to get very lean so I have less of a fat pad so I can add more to the base of my penis. Hopefully I'm able to add more length through heavy extender usage as well.
Typically people are going for a couple of procedures, take

They've had 5+ procedures and used many different Doctors but for the money and aftercare I think I can achieve similar results with Avanti for less. If you're happy with the results you can stop after two procedures, but a touch-up procedure cost about as much as a regular one. I've found that after 8 weeks, even before I got the problem areas addressed none of them were noticed by my partner, and you couldn't even see them if you pumped or did any kind of PE.
