regarding the complications, do you know if the post-op care is good for the first weeks, is there still a chance to have the complications all of a sudden after some months or years? have you seen such example?
also, you say granuloma is treatable. what are the untreatable complications? what is the solution in case of nodules etc?
lastly, i am planning to buy the subscription that allows me to see the images, but do you think it is noticable for other people when they see someone with Ellanse or PMMA in a Flaccid state?
When it comes to granulomas, between the Clinics and Member posts on the Forums, they seem exceedingly rare based on reports. If they happen, they are often described as a larger-than-usual
Nodule, notably hard/firm, and often comes out of nowhere (as opposed to nodules that were clearly a result of the distribution of filler post-op). Yes, it is possible for the onset of a granuloma to occur well after the procedure. The good news is that there is no reason to believe they affect the function of the penis and are treatable. Generally, corticosteroids + time are used as treatment.
Nodules are very different and ought not to be conflated with granulomas. These are aesthetic irregularities created by either an abnormal distribution of filler (thus the clumping of matter leading to a
Nodule), your skin's propensity to adapt to dermal fillers, or a mix of both. These are much easier to treat, depending on the size and how many there are. The vast majority of patients will require a subsequent for an almost inevitable necessity of
"touch-ups," no matter how skilled the Injector -- this is where nodules can be spotted & corrected.
I should note that uncircumcised men do have a higher propensity for aesthetic irregularity regardless of filler from my observations. That doesn't mean you can't get it done as an uncut guy, but that some men do consider adult-
Circumcision before pursuing this endeavor.
As for your last question, generally if you don't overfill and go for reasonable gains, you'll usually look passable in both
Flaccid and
Erect states. If you turtle a lot, you may especially want to avoid over-filling -- while dermal fillers do improve
Flaccid hang, your penis will still want to turtle, and overfilling can create the
"pig-in-the-blanket" effect in shorter, hard-retracting men that have a lot of
Dermal Filler in them.
