A few things here:
Think of silicone filler like turning your penis into a water balloon - much of the
Girth comes directly from the volume of the silicone itself. Sure there may be some elastin and collagen growth but that isn't where your
Girth is derived from. This explains why silicone injectors pump as much as 60cc-80cc in a single round. The allure of silicone oil is that the
Girth is instant (as is all other fillers), permanent, and quite frankly can be very aesthetic at first.
However, I would caution against the use of this type of filler to anyone considering this and haven't undergone any procedures yet. I remember someone making a good point --> the vast majority of injectable
Phalloplasty practitioners have the same access to Silikon1000 off-label but choose not to use it, ask yourself why? Some of these Doctors even offer multiple filler types, from fat to
PMMA to
HA, but why not include silicone if it was so effective? The reason is that silicone oil is prone to migration and is a poor candidate for
Girth enhancement.
Unlike most other fillers, the complications stemming from silicone oil can be disastrous. Call any reconstructive surgeon or
Urologist with a history of repairing
Phalloplasty and get their opinion on silicone oil. Heck, even the Penuma guys (which itself is a failed implant device) discourage the use of silicone oil, makes you wonder..
Furthermore,
Avanti Derma once used silicone for micro-droplet correction of small areas after
PMMA but discontinued its use altogether. Dr. Victor
Liu happened to offer silicone oil aomong all the other procedure types he had, but he too has discontinued its use.
Dr. Loria is not a
Cosmetic Surgeon like he's advertised in the past, and he massively inflated his "10,000" procedures performed (which if you do the math, realize it isn't just an exaggeration, it's an impossibility). He was a hair restoration specialist & nutritionist who decided to jump on a cash bandwagon and now employs unethical
Phalloplasty, including the introduction of this LEEP procedure which is remarkably dangerous in my opinion. Someone representing Loria reached out to me for Sponsorship and I declined, and by doing so turned down a considerable amount of revenue (as I'd likely be able to charge him extra given his risk/liability).
What does discourage me at times are how many of these silicone complications don't return to any forum or social media to report their adverse event. Maybe I'm being hard on them, I wonder if Dr. Loria makes men sign off a waiver that you can't report or review your procedure online (which I've heard done by other questionable doctors in the past). I know these men exist through backchannels, including my own email inbox.
That said, I'm not trying to alarm those with it inside them already. Not all silicone penises are ticking time bombs and some guys have managed.
PMMA on the other hand, you probably don't need more than 20cc to gain the same yield, because much of the new
Girth comes from neocollagensis, which generates your own tissue. This means the bulk of your
Girth is in-fact YOU. Admittedly, you'll likely need more rounds of
PMMA than silicone to achieve the same
Girth, but the trade-off is worth avoiding the pitfalls of silicone oil.
