Hey guys, sorry for dropping off the radar. Things got wild quickly after my procedure. While I was in Tijuana for the procedure, I actually landed a job offer. Since then, I’ve started that job and moved across the country — all while sticking to my aftercare routine. I wouldn’t recommend making big life changes so soon after the procedure, but sometimes you don’t get to choose the timing.
Despite the hectic circumstances, I’m incredibly happy with how things have shaped up. My shaft looks uniform and natural, and I’ve gained approximately 0.5” along the entire length.
Length: 6.5” → 6.5”
Base
Girth: 5” → 5.5”
Mid-shaft: 4.5” → 5”
Below glans: 4.25” → 4.5”
For the first couple weeks, I had quite a bit of swelling above my
Circumcision line. Most of my massaging was focused on that area because I was concerned about the transition from glans to shaft looking unnatural. Thankfully, that swelling eventually subsided, and with consistent massage, the shape started looking much more uniform and natural.
In terms of supplements and nutrition, I’ve been taking peptides and drinking bone broth daily to support healing, alongside sticking to a healthy diet. I started going to the gym again around 2 weeks post-op but refrained from cardio initially. I began incorporating cardio, like running, around weeks 3-4, and around that time I also felt comfortable hitting legs again.
Before the procedure, I was in what I’d call pencil-
Dick territory — decent length, but long and thin. Average, sure, but not in a way most partners would call ideal. Now I feel like I’ve crossed over into genuinely above-average territory, both visually and in terms of feel during sex. It’s given me a big confidence boost. That said, I was never looking to be in custom condom territory or have some monster
Girth. I just wanted to feel more proportionate — and I’m incredibly happy with what some on this forum might consider minor gains. For me, they’ve made a major difference.
The process was definitely a roller coaster. There were moments I was genuinely worried about how things would turn out, and I made a few mistakes along the way.
Biggest blunder? I had sex around Day 8 — way too early. It hurt like hell, and my
Dick looked wild the next day. Luckily, I was able to massage and compress things back into shape, and I avoided any long-term issues. But I would not recommend testing your luck like I did. Wait it out. That said, I had sex again recently (with my ex) now that I’m fully healed — and the new
Dick blew their mind. It was a serious confidence boost and made all the effort feel worth it.
I do have a small
Nodule near one of the entry points. It’s firm, visible, and palpable, but it’s been shrinking over time. I’ve been managing it with targeted massage 2–3 times per day and will continue monitoring it.
As for extending, I’ve mostly tapered off. I’ll still use it occasionally if I notice swelling or asymmetry. I used my Zen
Hanger a bit in the first few days after the procedure, but honestly, I preferred the ball
Hanger that
Avanti Derma provided — it felt more natural and easier to wear. I also think it helped that I don’t naturally suffer from a lot of retraction. That probably made it easier to maintain shape and avoid complications early on.
Also, I want to say that I’m incredibly impressed with
Avanti Derma. The entire team was professional, supportive, and informative. Their post-op care was and incredibly useful, and I felt like they genuinely wanted me to get the best possible outcome. I’d recommend them to anyone considering this procedure.
I’m still noticing some small changes from time to time — I’m 25 years old, so my collagen could still be stabilizing slightly for a couple more weeks. As of now, I’m not sure if I’ll go back for a follow-up session. I’m happy with my size, but potentially I might return in the future to smooth out any small irregularities or get the
Nodule corrected if things change.
Overall, I’m really pleased — especially considering how chaotic the past month has been. This process takes patience, consistency, and a bit of trust in the healing. But the gains are real, and I’m feeling good. Happy to answer any questions or share more if it helps someone else going through it.
