TOPIC: PMMA REMOVAL

I just had certain nodules removed and I thought at the time that would be the end of it. I didn\'t have it degloved with everything removed. It worsened considerably over time, so I wish I just degloved and had it all removed. At this point, the entire PMMA layer has hardened and turned into lumps. There used to be a soft section of where the metacrill was and then the lumps of linnea safe from round 3. It seems like my body decided to attack everything in the past year and turn it all hard and lumpy. A few other people PMed me with similar issues.

Man, I feel for you.

This is recent as well, when they are supposed to have ironed out the majority of the issues and this is Dr C as well?? The guy everybody says is great?

Guys,

The day has come. I will be flying to Miami Tuesday to meet with Dr. reed to have the giant PMMA mass on the lower left side of my shaft removed. Its crazy that I\'ve gotten to the point but its what I need to do.

Skeptical one and fullfrontal:
Your\'re both right, things look okay aesthetically and I shouldn\'t over react to that but its the feeling that concerns me.

If I were ever to hook up with a girl, lol, she would immediately notice the difference between normal shaft and PMMA just by the feel of it. This is something that I can\'t have.
Sure it can look a little funky as all penises have their own idiosyncrasies, but they generally feellike a penis.

Mine feels like your jerking off an ice remover

Notice the handle!!! This is what it feels like to masturbate.

As entertaining as this image might seem, this is literally what the underside of my base feels like. Something that I can\'t live with.

Thank you both for your honesty.

I\'m surprised anyone goes into this procedure not realizing how much of it relates to your own body\'s response to the product...and thus the risk for aesthetic irregularity is there. That said, given what I\'ve seen both on the forum and \"behind the scenes\" (e.g. PMs, emails), I\'m a firm believer of time and/or Revision before drastic measures like total Removal. Unless there is real reason to believe the health of your penis is at jeopardy (e.g. impotence, tissue Necrosis, infection, etc), the move to go full deglove may be more of a hasty/anxious decision than a practical & reasonable decision. What few nodules I had either softened and \"disappeared\" over time, or were corrected by Revision work. More times than not, it usually works out with patience. That\'s what I\'ve gathered over the years.

And I agree with fullfrontal, we\'re the biggest critics of our own penis. Filler methods are a process, a journey. It\'s not a one-stop shop like a silicone implant or fat graft. Like Fat transfer or PMMA, you\'re always told that you\'ll need at least 2, maybe 3 sessions to achieve desired results.

I can\'t stress it enough, if you can\'t commit to the long haul, and/or are incapable of dealing with even the most minor aesthetic irregularities, Phalloplasty isn\'t for you.

Damn near 6 years of Administrating this site and I can safely say (with no offense intended) that the vast majority of members here may need start analyzing what\'s between their ears instead of what\'s in between their legs. Maybe even myself, who knows. I\'m not calling anyone out specifically, this is a broad generalization of our membership. The desire to have a larger penis makes sense, I get that. I have attained a sense of normalcy I wasn\'t sure I\'d ever have because of that desire. Someone said earlier in this thread that Phalloplasty is depressing. It can be...but boy-oh-boy it used to be a lot worse. Many of the newer generation of members here dwell on the \"depressing\" nodules and ridges when in-fact there was a day when a man was posting about a piece of silicone protruding from his penis skin...and many other stories like it. I\'m not trying to diminish the concern of aesthetic irregularities, but over-reacting and rushing to get things \"removed\" is a bit much, especially considering the real, valid reasons men in the past actually got Removal/degloving procedures done.

To all those who actually decided to get PMMA/HA/etc done and are panicking because of less than stellar results, all I can say is: relax. take a deep breath. there is very good reason to believe things will turn out okay, and there is little reason to believe anything major/dangerous will happen to your penis in the meantime. This isn\'t just my own opinion. I\'d say I borrowed what I consider to be the forum\'s overall wisdom & contributions. Thousands of posts, PMs, and emails to come up with this message of hope. And I\'d be the first to tell you if there was any real reason for alarm. How so? Well I have pretty much the same stuff inside my Dick that many of you do and haven\'t lost sleep over it. Hopefully that\'s added assurance.

Good luck to all.

PSSSSST - Your Dick is FINE.

I think we tend to forget here that dicks all look weird and have different shapes. Don\'t spend the money. So what if it\'s a little uneven. I\'m totally serious.

He removes PMMA, but his prices are extremely high.

I checked out Dr alters website and he has a section called \'reconstruction of enlargement surgeries\' but he mainly talks about his experience fixing penile lengthening and dermal graft deformities. I didn\'t see anything about PMMA Removal which is obviously different. Any idea if he does the procedure I\'m looking for?

Phalloplasty is so depressing

It seemed like the right thing to do at the time, but it doesn\'t look good because the Removal failed to heal . So, I lost a lot of skin in the Repair process. If that didn\'t happen, then I would\'ve been happy with a small scar to remove the Nodule. Instead, I have a large scar and unevenness because 1\" of skin was taken out. In retrospect, I\'d rather have gotten degloved and had it all taken out or carved down from inside the penis (which is what Dr. Alter does). It\'s too uneven and odd looking now. The degloving scar isn\'t very noticeable and it would\'ve been done evenly.

@restoration were you happy with your Nodule Removal? You lost length but was it overall a good experience? Do you recommend the dr who removed your nodules?

@kreungdd that\'s my plan

woops - accidental post.

Other than that clump it looks fine and it appears that you could have your penis evened out with abother round. Just expensive and time consuming.

It was clearly a problem by day 5-7...I could tell the fluid-like swelling was mostly gone and there were extremely dense areas that wouldn\'t budge. You\'d have to look at my progress report and some links in there to see more specific. Everything that was hardened by day 7 was permanent and is permanent to this day, one year later.

On the other hand, in my second round, I had 2 big nodules that totally disappeared. Something went wrong in round 3 and to this day, it is unknown what that was.

@chubbabun I\'m almost positive they dont do PMMA Removal.

I did go in for a touch up months ago and mentioned it. They injected something in the area that would remove the collagen but not the actual product.


@restoration that is terrifying news. I\'m sorry you had to deal with that. That makes me very nervous cuz I know the stuff isn\'t FDA approved. How long after your initial procedure did things begin t hard. Again this is scary stuff. This doesn\'t happen to everyone right? There are there just a few reports of it?

@dexterphall I should have gone conservative. Too much PMMA increases the likelihood of issues.
