I'm in Houston and been lurking about, on and off these boards for years. No procedure has ever seemed reliable enough for me to chance it until now. That said, I just had my 1st round with Clavell today. I'm almost the same dimensions as Coastalcock, close to 7" x 5.75". I'm hoping for a similar outcome. Despite hearing
PhalloFILL is non-invasive, low risk, reversible, etc, I was still incredibly nervous, but ready to take the plunge. I called and set an appointment, and a sales representative promptly responded and answered all my questions. My goal is to get to 7" +
Girth, and after talking with the rep, I figured it would take 3 rounds (since Cavell only does 6 units per session, and the rep said I can expect 1/4-1/3" on each round). If you buy upfront, you get a pretty good discount, so I set my mind to plan on the 20 unit deal they offer. I met with Clavell, and he seemed very down to earth and eager to help. The office is a pretty nice office downtown, and they are full-on board certified
Urologist (which is one of the reasons I chose this procedure over some nurse practioner armed with a needle, like you might find elsewhere). Clavell explained everything and answered all my questions (some of which differed from the sales rep who I first talked to on the phone). The rep told me 1/4-1/3" gains are possible. Clavell told me to expect 1/4" up to 1/2" gains per session. The rep on the phone had told me I need to wait 10 days for sex, but Clavell said 3 days. The rep told me he's seen guys (including himself) who are 3 years in and haven't lost anything to absorption. I told Clavell I was committed to the procedure even if it only lasted 6 months, and so asked him not to give me the sales pitch, but instead to shoot me straight on the absorption. Clavell said he's seen guys come in that are 1.5 - 2 years in who still have most of it, but that everyone is a little different. Some guys will lose it quickly because they don't follow the post-procedure protocol. Apparently, you have to wear a compression sleeve not only to keep the result smooth and distributed evenly, but also to keep your hog stretched out so the gel won't drain down and out if it turtles up and pushes it down. The sleeve stays on non-stop for 3 days. Then you only take it off to shower or for sex for 3 weeks. But, then he likened it to a retainer for your teeth, and said if I keep wearing it indefinitely, it'll help keep everything smooth and in place for longer. Not sure I can fathom this thing choking my unit indefinitely. The procedure itself wasn't bad...I've had worse dental visits. The initial pricks with lidocaine sucked, but before you know it, it takes effect and you don't feel anything. He shot 5.3 units of
HA gel in (not sure why not the full 6). Essentially he did half on each side of the shaft (at about 9-10 and 2-3 on a clock), all the way from the base to just shy of the head (which he stears clear of).
Everything seemed sterile and professional. Overall, I like the calculated conservative approach. So far no pain, but still numb, and I went back to the office. Despite wearing this
Cock sleeve it's not too noticeable in my jeans. It's still fairly malleable, unlike a rigid boner, so it tucks down my leg nicely. I'll post some "after" pics when I get out of this sleeve. Can't wait 3 days to surprise my wife (who doesn't know I did this). It may be a challenge to make excuses for 3 days to keep from having sex, and keep her hands off my collared dog, but I really wanted this to be a surprise. Will let everyone know what happens.
