TOPIC: S.O.'s Before & After

Scar tissue on the tunica cannot be broken up with a cannula. With added Girth, the curvature will remain unchanged but will appear less obvious upon observation. I look forward to your post.

Thanks for keeping us posted EP!

Hey fellas!
So Round 2 is complete, and here are the details:
I arrived before noon and walked in pretty much knowing what to expect. Shortly after, I was dressed in the medical garments and started to receive my lidocaine shots. Man, I\'m not sure I\'ll ever get used to the burning sensation it causes just before it numbs you...
The procedure began, and I was told they would try 10 % this time around. They were starting to believe that they could achieve comparable Girth that one would receive with 20 % (although probably not identical) and simultaneously reducing post-op contour/aesthetic issues.
I don\'t know if it is because I\'m just horrible with needles (I wasn\'t terribly nervous the second time around), but for some reason I continued to feel pinches here and there. After reporting the poking sensation, they stuck me with another lidocaine and let it sit for a short bit before attempting the procedure. Throughout the whole procedure I\'d always seem to find a way to sense sharpness or pain, causing them to halt and inject me with more lidocaine. My original appointment (Round 1) must have had no more than 3-4 shots total, with like 95% numbness. I received double that quantity this session with like 80% numbness... my penis was simply not responding to it as you would hope it would.
I believe it got to a point that the Dr. didn\'t think it was wise to continue shooting me up with lidocaine if the current dosages hadn\'t already been effective and we stopped at a total of 11 cc\'s with some emphasis in the gap between the glans and upper shaft. My only hope is that we can somehow resolve this issue in Round 3...somehow??
As before, I was pleased with the attention to detail and professionalism of Dr. Casavantes & his Staff. They really tried to work with what they could, but my penis was simply being stubborn with the local anesthetics. But the 11cc of 10% certainly appears to have added some Girth, but it will obviously not be conclusive for another 6 weeks or so.
I definitely wish to seek a 3rd Round, because I\'m not sure this round will provide the bulk-upgrade I was looking for. With what they were able to manage, I do believe aesthetics will most likely improve after Round 2.
We (Dr. C, Wade, and I) talked about a variety of topics early, but didn\'t get to discuss as much as I would have liked to during the procedure because I found myself cussing (not at anyone in particular, just aloud) when the lidocaine wouldn\'t work lol
As before, pictures were taken before & after the treatment, and antibiotics were prescribed.
Entry points healed completely in about 3 days, bruising and swelling definitely less than Round 1. Pretty tender the first day post-op, but has improved dramatically and there is no pain to report. Everything is quite the same post-op as it was with Round 1, minus the volume and percentage of PMMA.
All in all, even with the situation involving my penises unwillingness to go completely numb, I found the experience to be a quality one. They don\'t ever seem to push their luck or the limits, and that in itself is reassuring.

Good to hear SO! Happy healing!

Happy healing, man!

Congrats on the second procedure! Are you planning on posting before and after pics?

congrats SO..

man all these members getting it done makes me wanna say screw it and set up an appointment already.

@EP
I think 10% concentration doesn\'t cause lumps and he wants to avoid that under thin skin e.g behind the glans.
e.g. they advise injecting 10% conc. of PMMA in the hands of old people (because they have very thin skin)

@ so

I went in Monday at 11 am when did you go?

And how bizarre I had exactly the same it hurt like a bastard this time and they kept shooting more painer in the stuff seemed to work only one minute at the time. They told me they had a few saying the same thing!

@ EP

He is only doing 10% now for two reasons. One because It has fewer complications but more importantly what they are finding out from feed back is that the gain is exactly the same? go figure. They had a big convention last Sunday with the Rep and other surgeons and most made this point! that basically after 6 weeks the results were similar or identicial for less risk. After round 1 he said he would use 20% but when I got there he said look we believe it will make no difference! Just relaying what he told me rightly or wrongly I had 19cc of 10% and if you check my results I dnt think they are less than people who had 20%. IMO.

@SO

Did you discuss migration risk with Dr. Casavantes?

@ Supa

No don\'t worry I have been to TJ twice now and there is no risk of anyone migrating there as it is a proper dump!!

@ Justabitmore

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Try to get the pictures taken from the same distance and angle. I find your dialog more useful because photos can be so unreliable (but I think you look great).

I am so new to all this, pardon if this is a stupid question: why do you need more than one session, and does this impact Girth only or is there any lengthening benefit, too?

Hey Norm, welcome to the forum.
You don\'t need more than 1 session, but it is recommended to have 2 sessions, with the 2nd serving as a \"touch-up,\" session. While Dr. Casavantes is a master at his craft, it isn\'t always easy predicting how 15-20cc of PMMA will settle in a dynamic organ like the penis. It seems almost inevitable that there will be minor contour issues and irregularities that are corrected on a 2nd appointment. The 2nd round will also add a slight bit more Girth as well. Anyone who seeks 3 or more sessions are likely going for sheer Girth. Keep in mind your glans are not being enhanced, and your Erect length is not getting any longer, so massive new Girth can actually give your penis a disproportionate look.
As for length, no Erect length gains should be expected. However, in the Flaccid, the PMMA definitely reduces \"Turtling,\" giving you the appearance of a longer Hanging Flaccid. The penis is also heavier in the Flaccid.
I\'ll see if I can obtain the office photo(s) today.

SO-

Glad to hear things went well. Can\'t wait to see how round 2 turned out.
