I appreciate your take but I'm going to have to respectfully disagree.
Again, take into consideration that despite all the companies you call who claim they fix one another, none of them choose to opt for silicone oil injections (with the exception of a handful of dunces who were "trained" by Loria). Think of it this way: those who do Hyaluronic Acid (HA) don't care for PMMA, and those who do PMMA don't care for HA, and those who do Surgimend don't care for fillers at all... but they ALL unanimously agree that silicone is bad news. The vast majority of qualified injectors will not do large volume silicone in the penis, many of them Urologists, Dermatologists, and Plastic Surgeons. Dr. Loria claims to be a cosmetic surgeon, he is not.
And yes, other practices do use Silikon1000 for other procedures, namely in very small volumes via micro-droplet technique (which the Manufacturer insists on), typically in superficial areas like the face. It's a completely different ballpark when doing body contour and penis enlargement via high volume injections.
Secondly, decades plural? That implies at minimum 20 years. Yea... no. Dr. Loria only started doing penis enlargement after his failed Hair Restoration & Nutrition practice wasn't picking up much steam, slightly less than 10 years ago (not even a full, singular decade). He has shills on his payroll, and this can be confirmed if they actually make anyone believe it was decades plural.
The PhalloBoards forum was shilled on numerous occasions with fake accounts all with IP addresses from his Boca Raton location, all of them first-time posters acting like they seem interested in this new Dr. Loria guy. When the shill was pressed for photos, they provided pictures that already existed on the web and had nothing to do with a procedure. Once they were outed, I got very obscene messages that I rather not repeat. Furthermore, around the same time, someone impersonated me with a Skeptical One username on the old PEGym forum, and I have an itching su
ion on who would have been behind it. If Dr. Loria were involved, it would be quite an embarrassing way for a medical professional to conduct himself, no?
Moderator Alumni Hoddle10 once wrote on the 2.0 forums:
On his website, Dr Loria says:
"This highly specialized procedure may be presented at the American Academy of Facial & Plastic Surgeons, American Academy of Phalloplasty Surgeons, American Academy of Urological Surgeons, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons in 2013."

Hoddle10 goes on to say:
There are a few problems with this idea though. Sadly "The American Academy of Facial and Plastic Surgeons" doesn't actually exist. More bad news is that the "American Academy of Phalloplasty Surgeons" disbanded some years ago, so despite their website still being up, he wont be able to present to them either! The "American Academy of Urological Surgeons" is also going to prove a problem, as regrettably they don't exist either. However, the good news is that American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons does exist. Again though, as far as Dr Lorias presentation goes there is going to be a problem - he's not a member!
Obviously the site has gone through some changes over the years, but it's nice to see a time capsule retain some of the questionable practices and sales pitches used by this Clinic.
Dr. Loria is performing the LEEP procedure and from what I can tell, it is a medical device without FDA approval. Isn't this illegal? It is.
Dr. Loria had a patient who was in the ICU with sepsis and he refused to giving the ICU physicians information on what was injected inside his patient. What's he have to hide? Imagine if this patient died, it would have sent phalloplasty back to the stone age because of one quack. This account can be found (and confirmed with photo evidence) on the LPSG Dr. Loria thread. Sickening to be honest.
Lastly, sure, some (not all) complications that can arise from silicone could theoretically occur with other fillers; however, if & when complications arise with silicone, they are known to be more severe. It also has a higher propensity to migrate, hence why Dr. Loria requires patients to wear a band at the base of their penis for a month (or however long he does it now). For example, men might get 60-80cc's MAXIMUM of Ellanse (or PMMA) over the course of many appointments over a lifetime, whereas you can get 60-80cc's of silicone in ONE-GO! This means it's plausible to have in excess of 150cc+ of migration-prone oil in your dick for the course of your lifetime!
For me, it's just that I know men who have confided in me regarding the severity of the experiences with silicone, even at smaller volumes. I simply haven't had that same kind of interaction with people and HA, PMMA, and so on. I've been monitoring men get fillers injected into them on the only website devoted to this specific topic of discussion, for a decade-and-a-half and I can say with certainty that the frequency & severity of filler complications correlated with silicone the most.
I appreciate you sharing your experiences, but I will remind you that any instance where I see an advocacy or promotion (even if that isn't the intention) of this Doctor or methodology, I'm going to speak up for the sake my readership. There are plenty of more viable options including HA, PMMA, Ellanse, Radiesse, Renuva, Fat, and Dermal Grafts for girth enhancement, why chance it with the least popular option (i.e. silicone) out there?
Furthermore, I have no trust in Dr. Loria's ethics, or the expertise of anyone willing to learn his methodologies.
Their office reached out to me for Sponsorship and I declined what would have been a modest amount of revenue if we had decided to agree on terms. If I'm willing to let all these other Doctors and techniques compete against each other on my platform, why not let him join? It ought to tell you that I value the integrity of this site and respect the community that has built it.
That all said, I want to reiterate that this isn't necessarily a cause for alarm for those who already have it, but it definitely warrants taking my advice (that comes from a place of experience & sincerity) on avoiding any further high volume injections, and focus on touch-up/revision instead, especially if you're in the 6-7" girth range.
We can resume the original topic now.
