TOPIC: PMMA injection for Glans enhancement can be done

I have sent an e-mail to Lemperle about this doctor\'s technique in using Artecoll for the Glans and that was his reply :-
I know Dr. El-Seweifi well - but never met him in person, because I asked him some 10 years ago to publish his method of wrapping a non-absorbable net (mesh) around the penis in my book on Aestetische Chirurgie (aesthetic surgery). Concerning a glans augmentation, my feeling is to augment the corona only to make it fit to the shaft. This can be done by Artecoll, as it has been done with a temporary fillers before , but it must be applied very superficially - because the rest of the glans is a spongy tissues , where you may get intravascular and may inject it into the blood stream. However, Artecoll is not anymore on the market since the Chinese bought the factory EMCM in Nijmegen, Holland. Dr. El-Seweifi could buy the Artecoll directly from EMCM, as I know. Best, Gottfried

@HC,
Thanks man, I am trying to gather more information about this doctor, I think he is egyptian but he lives in Berlin and he travels a lot to different arabic countries.
Artecoll is a permanent product it is like other PMMA products (the beads are non-biodegradable) it will depend on the new collagen (e.g. 80% of the new volume comes from the new collagen and 20% of the new volume is from the beads) formed around its beads .
I think the best thing we should do now is to gather more information about his Artecoll injection , so please HC dont do this procedure until we have a better information. I would like to see his before and after pic.\'s , esp. the after pic\'s not directly done after the injection ( which is shown in other web-sites where they inject Hyaluronic acid into the glans --> the increase in size could be from edema and not only from the product) i.e. injecting water in my Glans can give me direct increase in its size - LOL.
Check this paper from Korea using Hyaluronic acid for Glans enhancement they have good results :-
(They inject Hyaluronic acid into the (Dermis ???) with a long term efficacy > 1 year).
If you see (fig.1) that what I was talking about the blebs
www.nature.com/ijir/journal/v15/n6/full/3901044a.html
Somebody who can have only a consultation with him in regard these two procedures , actually I am interested in knowing more about the Artecoll procedure .
If he is really doing this Artecoll technique (does he inject it directly into the superficial layers of the glans or into the blebs which I have mentioned it before) and has no serious complications, the only thing I would be worried about is the esthetic look of the glans ( e.g. small lumps) so the after pic.s are important for us.
As I said HC please, dont do the procedure until we are sure there will be no serious complications from it.

@smartman
You are really the man to discover new experimental technology, the glans is what seems to be hardest to enhance. Dr El Seweifi seems to be of Arab origin given his name and the fact that his website is also localized in Arabic language. He offers his technique both with pelvic skin or with Artecoll. Which do you find smarter?I know precious little about Articoll although he does say it is not durable, or was that comment for both substances? If it isn\'t too costly I could travel there easily as I have a trip to Germany scheduled anyways.
HC

Hi smartman thanks for another great effort at getting new info to the site!

I remember that the only glands enhancement I come across was a macrolane type product which is not permanent either.

This sounds like a great step in the right direction. It would be great to have a way to increase the glans permenantly without a scalpel.

I think the temporary procedures are a good option, but seems like it would be a pain to have to get it redone every year. I hope Dr. C (or another Dr.) will explore this further.

I have asked Lemperle\'s opinion about Dr. A.El-seweifi\'s Artecoll injection results :-

\"You are correct ! He either used another product (Radiesse or Sculptra) or went too deep into the spongious tissue...
We all know that dermal fat grafts will be absorbed over time...otherwise, we ALL WOULD DO IT ! \"-

I know some people wouldn\'t agree with Lemperle but I just want you to know all the information I get .
I have also sent an e-mail to Dr.Samy Passy in Rio. about the Korean paper and also about the doctor in Berlin , I just want to know his opinion too.
I would like to know what is Dr.C.\'s opinion about these informations (in Korea and in Berlin) ---> no serious complication ???
Did he ever try it ? Did he inject e.g. a very small amount of Newplastic in a small area of the corona???

@Allgood
There isn\'t any known permanent, safe, and effective glans enhancement by surgical/medical means.
The hope is such study, method, and practice is uncovered one day on these forums. Which is why I\'m so grateful to the many members who contribute here every day

have you guys checked out: www.medical-tourism-in-thailand.com/peni...rgery-questions.html

Dr. Perovic says at one point: \"Presently in the world, there is no good and reliable technique for glans enhancement.\"

But then later on he appears to make specific reference to some sort of established glans enhancement practice:
Why shouldn\'t I get 1-hour glans penile enhancement using hyaluronic-acid gel injected over the entire glans penis using a 30 gauge needle and local anesthesia which gives a 20% increase in girth for about 12 months? Dr Perovic explains: 'It has only temporary and short-term effect and cannot convert into sponge-like glans tissue.'

when you say \"without a scalpel,\" are you implying you\'re aware of a procedure using a scalpel for glans enhancement? sorry if i\'m reading too much into it, just interested in any and all options

Those photos show some nasty outcome. Dr C told me he didn\'t think there was future in Glans enhancement with PMMA and he\'s a regular friend of Professor Lemperle who talks with him all the time. Also I spoke about this technique which had much success when meeting with Dr Abecassis in Paris and he told me that the scientific studies about the success of such procedures in Korea were to a great part due to a slightly different structure of the glans when patients have Korean genetics predisposing them to greater success to this treatment than other races... I\'m interested but would need documented evidence of at least a measure of aesthetically pleasing results as this is supposed to be a cosmetic procedure.
HC

well given the option of keeping my current glans or getting a slightly larger one with that outcome, i will keep what i already have!

@briceb- that is true there is a possibility it will look like this Glans after HA injection in the following pic. :-
www.nature.com/ijir/journal/v15/n6/fig_t...f1.html#figure-title

By \"flowered\" does he mean that it will result in sort of a rippled, uneven effect?

@EP
So I think it makes sense to me now, the reason of not doing it is the aesthetic look, as I read with Hyaluronic Acid it makes the Glans more rounded , but PMMA can give a flowered look.
So it looks like he did try it but he didn\'t like the result, I might be wrong

If I\'m not mistaken, Dr. C has chosen not to use PMMA for glans enhancement. As of now I can\'t remember the exact reason, only that he does not do it.
