TOPIC: Dr C and temporary fillers

dstern22 wrote: Well. F it. I paid my deposit today to get put on the schedule. Going to try the temp filler, and report back.

What I\'m having a hard time finding out.. is if there is a problem with this stuff moving around while you are hard during sex. Is this \"squishier\" than the PMMA? Or does it set up?

I *think* I\'m taking the \"safer\" route here. But between now and my appointment, I\'ll be doing more research.

Gulp.

You will not notice it moving around during sex - at least that is what my patients report. Good choice and good luck!

All,

This is the pricing I got back from Dr C\'s office with regard to temp fillers:

-Radiesse: which can last up to 18 months. The cost for this procedure is $3000. Patients can expect to gain .5 to .75 inches in Erect circumference. -Ellanse: which can last up to three years. The cost for this procedure is $4200

Everything in Red was cut and paste from their email.

I wanted to put this up, because I was reading a thread from 2014 I think, and it said that Dr C\'s office wasn\'t using Ellanse anymore. It looks like as of right now, they are. Which is what I think I\'m going to go for based on a little research I have done.

ANYONE that has had temp fillers (whether or not with Dr C) is encouraged to post up in this thread. I would love to see some results compiled here. I\'ll start a patient log/progress thread when I get my appointment set.

How much cc\'s can you get?

Hoddle10 is not happy about macrolane and I tend to follow these moderators. How does it compare to voluma?

So then I started thinking about PMMA - until Dr. Oates on the other thread started getting me spun up on Ellanse again!

I would say- if it does what they say it does, it\'s MY best option I think. I would like to see some before and after pics to compare though for sure.

My travel schedule and living arrangements are a little messed up at the moment. Hope to have another look at this when things settle. I think Dr. C needs to make a commitment on Ellanse though. I wouldn\'t want to get it, and need a fill up/ touch up and have him say they stopped carrying it.

That\'s my concern as well. I think Dr. C is very good at what he does. But I really don\'t want to be the first one out of the gate here..

Brock,

Have you decided to go the temp filler route?

This is my email from July 19th. No reason why (As you can see I asked about PRP too) --

From Wade- - PRP would be done immediately following your Girth procedure. - We no longer offer Ellanse, instead, we will continue to use Radiesse. Yes, you can mix the difference fillers. - 12cc is a very good estimate for product amounts. We can discuss more product, however the more product you use, the more risk you can have with an unnatural feeling implant. - The cost of the procedure includes your medications, and any stretching devices necessary. You will need to purchase an inexpensive Penis Pump, about $20. - You can find most of your post-care instructions on the PDF's that Diana sent you in the beginning of your communication with our office. All other instructions will be decided and delivered the day of your procedure. - I would strongly recommend that you remain in the area for a few days following your procedure. This way I can help monitor your aftercare.

I\'m not sure. After I paid my deposit, I had some questions, and the office manager was forwarding my email to Wade. He hasn\'t responded yet. But I\'m patient, I know they are busy. When I do get additional information, I\'ll post it in here.

Yes, this email was received last week.

Did he mention why they weren\'t offering it anymore? I really need to get some details nailed down on the temp fillers before I go down there.

I\'m about to book with Dr. C. I was back and forth on the PMMA. I\'ve decided that I good trial run, is to do a temporary filler, and see how it goes.

I\'ve communicated with them, however it doesn\'t seem that they have any before/after pictures on the temp fillers.

Has anyone here done this? If so, please post your experiences here.

Price isn\'t really a concern for me on this, so I if I like it, and end up doing PMMA, I\'ll chalk up the temp filler visit as a \"learning experience\".

I\'m a little concerned about the lack of before/after pics (since he has plenty for PMMA) and that this might mean they aren\'t as experienced with the temp fillers?

Also wondering how long they last and what you could expect to gain from a session? Is recovery time same or worse than PMMA?

I honestly would be fine with going down every 18 months and getting a \"refill\" if it worked as advertised.

Thanks for input guys.
