loveloveThe length obtained was simply the length hidden in your fat pad. I've seen a lot of pics of penises and fat pad's as thick as mine aren't too common. I'm not actually obese or anything, if you saw me in person you probably wouldn't guess I had a full 1" fat pad. I obtained the 1" measurement by pressing down all the way on the pad and measuring how much usable penis length I had... turns out to be a full inch! $800 sounds about right though I may end up considering local options for lipo since it's a commonly practiced procedure (unlike penile PMMA). I figure in the meantime I can diet & exercise, as well as couple it with manual PE to see what I can get. If the fat pad remains stubborn and continues to hide most of that inch, I'll eventually seek out lipo.

If you have loose skin in that area as a result of a circumcision, it can pull the fat pad forward a bit and thus even a skinny guy could bone press an extra inch. It would still feel pretty much like a fat pad, so it's hard to tell.

hoddle10I suspect it is a fat pad since it has gotten thicker with my weight gain. Also, I could get in nearly 5" into a girl if I were to press on the pad during sex. And most notably - Wade and Dr. C mentioned it while working on me, they must have noticed it as well. I have to imagine lipo will afford me at the very least a half an inch (hopefully more), and with respect to length, that's a lot! @forum I'll give an update tomorrow which will be 2 weeks post-op.

That makes sense and for the price and the small discomfort jeezus half an inch go for it!! hoddle10I suspect it is a fat pad since it has gotten thicker with my weight gain.

2 weeks post-op (well technically not for another 6 hours). The swelling is all gone. The penis feels remarkably "full" in my hand, and "heavy", not unusual seeings how it is noticeably bigger in girth.
I'd say that the very very top layer of the filler still remains semi-soft, but the remaining "new" girth must have had a good amount of collagen production complete because it will definitely get firm and hard when erect. I suspect the very very top layer of the PMMA to become "one with the penis," in the remaining 2-4 weeks I have left to inspect my penis.
One interesting thing to note is that there is a invisible yet palpable area of PMMA which seems to be out of the ordinary (although not alarming or of any concern at the moment). Think of the base of my shaft as a clock. 6o'clock is right there on the middle at the very base. 12o'clock is where your shaft meets your sack on the opposite end. 3o'clock is the right and 9o'clock is the left side (from your own point of view).
From about 8o'clock (on the left) to about 4o'clock (on the right), there seems to be a very ever so slight ring of PMMA circling just immediately outside the base of the shaft. I noticed it because I am used to pressing against my fat pad to see more length, and 8 & 4 o'clock is where I usually place my fingers when I press against my fat pad. The ring is not visible, and I think I'd be the only one to notice it (I can't imagine why a lady would press against my fat pad for me, and if she did, I doubt she would notice at all).
I haven't run it by their office yet but I have a couple theories. The first is that I may have pressed my fat pad too often after the entry points healed, thus "massaging" into place some of the base PMMA (similar to how you are instructed to massage the shaft to help even out the PMMA). The second theory is that they wanted to achieve a tapered look with the base being the thickest, and thus placed significantly more PMMA at the base which resulted in either a negligible amount slipping just beyond the base of the shaft, or an intentional reinforcement of the base. Regardless of whatever it may be, it does not seem to effect either aesthetics or function of the penis. A part of me even wonders whether it has been useful against retraction. Anyone else with PMMA report something similar to this?
Outside of this anomaly, the penis seems to be behaving just fine, and looking just fine. I still have committed to not measuring until the 4th week. Even though I haven't measured either length, I don't suspect I've lost or gained any erect length, although both girth & length stats are inconclusive until my 4th week marker.

Hey SO,
Nice to hear about the updates. Did you talk to Dr. C about whether the PMMA is adversely affected by a dedicated stretching routine? Just wondering if people should try to stretch as much before having the injection, or if the PMMA doesn't make a difference with regards to manual gains from intense stretching over several months/years.

I should note the reason for my lack of measurements is due to the inconsistent nature of post-op PMMA. The fluctuations in girth between the swelling & the collagen formation vary and thus give a lot of "false-positives." I feel that my pre-op stats and then my 4 weeks stats will satisfy the "Before & After" numbers.

If you wish to see my Before & After Photos on the day of the procedure, please email me with "SO PICS" in the subject line and your Member Name in the text body of the email.
It is a PDF file, the photo on the left is the BEFORE and it is slightly zoomed up on so it can be a little distorted when comparing to the photo on the right which is the AFTER photo. The AFTER photo has mild swelling, so keep that in mind too. With all of this being said, it is still a fair representation of the transformation I underwent.
When PhalloBoards Version 2.0 is up, we wont have to do it this way but for now it'll work. Pardon me if I don't get back to you same day, but expect 2-3 days as a reasonable turn around time.
-S.O.

Thanks SO I've emailed you for those pics and much appreciate your going that extra mile after all you've already done.
I guess also that the harder it has been relative to one's experience of size issues the harder it will be to take the plunge because it is well known that the worst stress is when the cause of stress ends and you suddenly get hit full fledge with the entire weight of what you had been subject to, but couldn't let devastate you.
Let us know also what your remarks are, while we of course understand that it is your first session and it is harder to reach desired results unless you go in to Dr C's office with oodles of extra length to spare making any shape or proportion a simple matter of preferences.
Cheers,
HC

I also have this base ring that you speak of... its very minor, and I only notice when I search for it.

I have the base ring myself. I almost think it is connective tissue that he had to break through to get as low as possible to the skin of the pelvis. I have no fat pad so mine is located where the sack meets the shaft about an inch up from the base. It feels like a rope and when i follow it toward my pelvis it seems to tie into my ligaments connecting my penis to my pelvis. This area was very swollen immediately post op and Drc remarked as to how fibrous my skin was but the more i feel it the more I think he was going through connective tissue. It seems to have twisted my penis a few degrees to the right. I will have this hopefully corrected in a couple weeks.

Hi SO,
Those are amazing results and this is the first time I have found that a post PMMA procedure actually looks MORE natural than before - insane!
On a side note, I wondered whether it feels (at first or lastingly) like it's not your own pack there, more like an adopted one, or if you have such similar sensations that it remains you own good ole stuff just quite a bit improved?
I am really quite amazed and your procedure has me wanting to move ahead full steam sooner than later. How much advance time does one usually need, lately, to schedule with Dr C? If I do it sooner I can go back for the second visit before heading back overseas...

hunkchunkAt first it does have a sort of "adopted" feel to it but as time goes on (I'm closing in on 3 weeks post-op), it feels more and more like you're own unit. Dr. C's office can take appointments at any time, it is just that schedule availability is limited. You can call and check certain dates & times to see what might work best for you if you decide to move forward with this procedure.

Oh, LOL, and I noticed in my PDF pics that one testicle hangs lower than the other... they both hang even most of the time so I think that day they were just camera shy hahah - it was a bit nerve wracking when they took the BEFORE photo since my flaccid was turtling hard (the picture is zoomed in so it makes it appear slightly bigger than it really was).

SO you say you were turtled hard at the start of the procedure. Do you think that made it harder for them to perform the procedure and get the cannula to all the right spots? I would have thought a soft relaxed penis would be easier to work on....
