Hello from MJ

[mjralph33]

So I guess this is the new forum? Does anyone know if MNS is planning on bringing any of the old forum content over? There was a ton of good information in those forums. Take care, MJ

MJ,
We will be moving as much info from the old board as possible. This will take some time. In the meantime, we encourage previous members to be active with updates and questions.

Yeah, really do hope info from the old forum is brought over. There is alot of stuff that I would like to view again to help me with my PE routine.

Zob, I'm doing very well - thanks for asking. I will be at eight weeks in just a couple days. Penis looks absolutely great now. Becoming less detectable and noticeable every day. Have you decided to book with Dr. Elist?

Best,

MJ

Hi MJ,


That's some good news... My case is a bit more complicated than yours as I will need to get a partial circumcision and a revision from a previous Free Fat Transfer done in 2005. Two trips in LA would be too much expensive and time consuming so I will certainly get the circumcision and the revision done by a local urologist. After the circumcision, I will have to wait Three months before getting the implant procedure done. Next tuesday, I have an appointment with a local urologist in order to talk about circumcision, revision and the penile implant. That's quite a lot of things to do for the final goal and I'am still not convinced about the undetectability of the implant. As I already got a bad experience in Penis surgery, I'am really hesitating about going through a second surgery. Elist team told me that revision can be done in the same time than the implant placement but I am quite scared by the silicon disaster experience (a thread that was originally posted on the old My New Size).

I also need to know if the FFT revision is really necessary and in which conditions... In others words, I don't want to get a revision that will let me with big or noticeable scars... I already have one little scar from a previous complication from the FFT, and adding other scars is really a problem for me as it will bring more suspicions on further sexual partners...
Imagine, I already have one little scar at the base of the penis, the revision may add a second scar and the implant procedure will bring a third one...
That is why I need to talk to the local urologist in order to see my options...

Plus, before jumping into the procedure, I would really appreciate to get your opinion on detectabily of the implant which is for me the most important factor. I know that I won't be able to keep the implant If I have the feeling that I will be discovered by a partner... I also hope that you will be able to provide us some erect pics in order to see the final outcome of this thing... I know It's not an easy thing to do but If I am going through it, I will do the same.

So what is your feeling about the erect look when erection happens, and what about detectability ?

Know that it is still early but are you optimist ?

Let me know...


Take Care

MJ,


I also was thinking about something concerning the implant detectability?

Do you think that there is a link between implant size (regular, large, XL) and the starting size of a guy who wants to get the procedure done ?

In other words, do you think that, the less starting girth size a guy has, and the more implant size the same guy ask, will equal to more implant detectability?

That would maybe explain why some guys say they still feel it whereas others say they don't....

Ex : The guy is 4 erect girth pre op. He asks for the XL implant and is now 6 erect girth. Maybe the implant will more detectable than a guy who has 5 erect girth pre op and only need 1 inch implant in order to go to 6 E.G.

Hope you will understand what I mean...

Hi Zob,

Yes, I’m cautiously optimistic at this stage. The implant is improving as time passes. Aside from the entry scar from the surgery, I don’t think the implant is detectable at all visually. Physically, you could feel where the implant ends on the underside of the penis, but I think you would have to be looking for it. Again, I have slow progress every week.

The only problem I have flaccid is the following: if I go unwrapped for a couple hours, and the penis is bent a little – let’s say while sitting up straight, the implant juts out a little on the sides – and in this case it is clearly visible. I predict this will go away with time. One little odd issue, the flaccid penis now occupies some of the skin that used to be directly above it. I’m going to need to shave about 1cm of pubic hair that now grows there.

Erect is getting better but not there yet, I ‘m almost 2” short of my previous length. Weeks ago the erection caused the head of the penis to angle up slightly. This has gone away. It still favors the right. Each week I improve over the last, and this keeps my spirits up.

Your theory on the size of the implant versus the corresponding implant size chosen might have some merit. In the end, I believe that detection is a result of four variables:

1. Correct size and shape of implant.
2. Correct size and shape while erect (difficult to get both 100% correct in my opinion)
3. How well the implant “settles” into the shape of the natural penis.
4. The softness of the material. I believe if the material where a little bit more permeable, this might help as well.

On the FFT clean out, it seems that almost half the surgeries we hear about involve a revision to a previous. I think if you separate the surgeries and give your penis time to heal this mitigates most of the dangers. Your approach seems logical to me.

Best,

MJ

Great, thanks!

Hi Guys,

Thank God this forum is back. You guys are the only ones I can talk to. I am 2 weeks out from major reconstructive surgery to remove FFT, add Belladerm collar at base, revise scar at base from necrosis (or hole) that developed after a Dr Giunta procedure in 1998. F'ed up shit, and I'm scared out of my mind. Feeling okay, but have some questions and want feedback on appearance. Will upload couple photos shortly.

Thanks.
