TOPIC: No Metacrill At Avanti Derma - Linnea Safe ONLY!!

No I have not posted pics. I would have been happy too if the site had not changed to a pay site. There are also 3 people from my area that have had the procedure and 2 people that I met at Dr. C\'s office that I stay in contact with. All of us have had the procedure since the end of May. No offense to anyone- I just feel that is odd to have to pay money to show people pictures of my penis.. This website has some great people and information on it, and I would have been happy to contribute so that others can learn as I (we) have. In my opinion the site would have many more contributors if advertising income was used to fund it.. I do however think The owner of this site has done a great job with it over the years and a lot of people have learned valuable information from prior PMMA recipients.

Hi Reklaw-
EL - 6.5 (measured this week, and the 6.5 was a surprise.. I did lose weight and have been taking a lot of HGH)
EG - 4.5

It\'s the 4.5 that gets to me with this girl in particular. She\'s had a child, and I found out she had an encounter with what looked like to be a success story from this board, but natural.
6.5 x and close to 6.0 would be great for me. Not even close to the monster of her ex-fling.. but good enough I think.

How big are you Brock?

Resto- I went back and looked at your big thread. It\'s an amazing read - I can\'t believe how much you opened up about stuff.

I\'ve been thinking this over and over and over.. but something doesnt sit right. I\'m not sure the body wants this stuff in there.. the hardening happens to breast implant too after a while (a lot of the time anyway) - but the ladies can just change it out.

Us guys are stuck it seams.. The Elist implant on the surface seems like a better plan.. put it in, change it out if needed- but I\'ve read that thread too, so no thank you.

I\'m really in a quandry here. I was going to pull the trigger on Ellanse as you may remember then when I reached out to confirm it was no longer offered in TJ.

Wish there was a way to liquify and re-set the PMMA.

Smalljay, again- thanks. I\'m going to go back and read your whole progress thread too.

If it wasnt for you guys- I\'d probably have this done by now. Not saying I WON\'T do it- but at least you guys gave me pause to put in more research. I\'m having a really bad time right now, I\'m in a bad place mentally. Maybe I\'ll post the story. This Penis Dismorphic thing had never been an issue with me before. I\'m in my early 40\'s. Something with the current GF just set it off. I can\'t sleep sometimes. I obsess. I\'m miserable.

thanks again.

The hardening is fibrosis, and it\'s reported in the literature with this same filler when used in the face (belafill / artefill) that can happen over time - even 5 years later. Its under 5% - or at least, they claim it is. DMSO seems to have encouraged more water to surround the area so it feels fuller and softer, but when you stop using it, the hardness comes back. As a test, I put some of the excised Nodule in 99% dmso in a petri dish overnight and it did not affect any of the tissue. Some air bubbles came to the top, but that was it. The hardening doesn\'t come in cycles. It was a slow process over time that took 6+ months, though some was quite hard right away. The squishier PMMA (the normal stuff I had from R1 and R2) hardened now. I had a Kenalog-40 + 5-fu shot in one of the semi-hard (not rock hard) nodules and that seemed to help soften it after 1 week. (the rock hard ones are almost impossible to inject into). The difficult problem is that these nodules are softer on the inside and have a very hard shell on the outside, and you don\'t want the Kenalog going on the outside because it can Atrophy the penile skin. Ideally, the Kenalog should be put inside the Nodule. The hard shell on the outside is what you feel...and even shrinking the nodules down can still leave weird hard lumps inside of your penis, albeit a little smaller.

smalljay- sorry for your troubles and thanks for sharing. On your hard areas- did you try that DMSO trick yet I read about on another thread? Looks like it worked for 2 people trying to soften things up. The hardening is Fibrosis, correct? That makes you lose a little length (Im sure thats not whats on your mind at the moment) but just curious.
Also, what does C think about the hardening? It seems pretty common- does it go in cycles? Like hard then soften, then hard? I\'ve read a bit about \'Flare ups\' - is that what people are talking about? It\'s almost like the body goes in phases of trying to eject the foreign substance then quiets down then tries again?

thanks - looking forward to your opinion.. and if you\'ve already discussed in length- no worries on a long response, I just paid up membership so I will find it.
People seem to ask the same questions and Im sure it can be an annoyance.

Sounds very similar to mine after round 3 with 30% linnea safe. I used the stretcher from the minute I got back to my room in the hotel. The 3 donuts, I think, are from retraction that squish the PMMA, no matter how much you stretch and massage. Even taking the stretchers off to pee will allow it to squish down. Naturally \"big Flaccid\" types do better with PMMA than guys who retract. I\'m single, so you can imagine - my sex life has been over for the last 3-4 mos since the whole implant hardened. (The past year has been pretty bad though, generally).

I have nothing between the circ scar ridge and the glans either - even after 3 sessions. Maybe they can use silikon on you, if that works. I haven\'t read much about it. It seems like that area won\'t expand...even though at r2 and r3 I said to please focus on that area. They did put some stuff in there, but it all turned into nodules (right away) and both were removed. So the only \"Girth\" I got was in the form of nodules and taken out.

Restoration. That is correct, I recieved all 30% and I am sitting around 8 weeks I believe now. I\'m hoping that maybe a 2nd round will fill the \"low spots\". It\'s almost as if I have 3 donuts stacked on top of each other with low spots between them. I also have huge clump at the circ scar and then nothing until the glands. I was not given a stretcher until my follow up appt the day after. I am going to ask them about leaving the stretcher on immediately after the procedure full time. The product was very hard to move on the 2nd day after the procedure. I\'m married so it isn\'t the end of the world for me to deal with this until august. (next appt-12 weeks), however if I was in the dating world it would be a HUGE problem. It looks nothing like a normal penis

Thanks. It\'ll be resolved one way or another... it\'s been a full year of this nightmare now.

Dprice - did you get all 30%? Was this your first round? It might settle down around the 10-12 week mark.

They cut an Inch of skin out in the Erect state (over two procedures). That\'s how I lost length. The scar is the size of a hair.
