I talked to Dan for a bit . Here\'s some of what we talked about:
One of my main aesthetic problems is the circ area, so we talked about that.
- They put 30% in the circ area. Not 10%
- I didn\'t ask if they will do it
Flaccid, but the
Erect approach seems like it will help get the product in more evenly (and btw, you don\'t get super hard, Dan confirmed this - I had this stuff before - you get like a 60-80%
Erection). Then, they wrap it post op - similar to how it was wrapped after my Peyronies surgery - so the penis is
Flaccid but is wrapped stretched - basically as close to the EL as possible, held by coban. Wade isn\'t a fan of it bc he says it can make lines in the penis and make the
PMMA irregular. Dr.
Casavantes used to use coban, and wade used to wrap - then they stopped.
- Camacho only makes 1 entry point, max 2 for long penises. So, there\'s less leaking out of tighter areas like the circ area where my
PMMA was being pushed out relentlessly...though
Casavantes can move around his entry points.
They thought the 1 entry point might also help my issue with lack of gains...bc he thinks I lost a lot of
PMMA - though Dr. N only uses 1 entry point and has had patients with low gains. I am concerned about 30% in the circ area due to nodules. I\'m not sure if they\'ve experienced this or not.
They are more expensive than
Casavantes - not so much for round 1 - but especially for me who is on R3. Also, looking at the boards - there aren\'t many guys here who have gone to him. I\'m not sure if they\'ll do the day 2 follow ups with extra
PMMA, massage, etc...Dan seemed to feel the wrap would make massage unnecessary though I didn\'t get into it in great detail. it\'s hard when you get used to things one way to suddenly go to someone else...who can be better or worse - who knows. I get the sense that
Casavantes has done a lot more penile
PMMA than camacho... but im not sure.
I\'m waiting to hear back if they can get Linnea safe - then it will probably be worth it do go to Camacho - for me...but still, I\'d like to hear from other patients and it doesn\'t seem like there are any at all. I don\'t read the other boards as much, though.
