Hi to all
I have joined to share my experience with you to try and assist anyone contemplating surgery. I spent about 5 years deciding whether to go through with having it done and who to use if I did.
Finally I decided to use Dr Colin Moore in Australia after going to a few consultations with him however before that
I was almost going to fly to the US for the surgery with Dr Rosenthal until I read in a forum an experience by a user known as yardstick which he expressed major concerns about his post op. results.
So where to start ..... The surgery cost me $35,000.00
I had lengthening, girth and nesbett curvature correction surgery.
Pre op. during the consultations I was given expected results of 4-5 cm gain in length and 2 cm girth. Sounds great doesn't it great sales pitch but not to much mentioned of what to expect post op.
On the afternoon before the surgery I had to see the Dr and this is when I was first told and handed a form for me to sign that they don't guarantee any results and this had to be signed prior to surgery, I had to sign it as I had already paid and they don't provide a refund.
Post op......
The pain wasn't to bad, discomfort more then anything but no where near what I was expecting. I'm 5 1/2 months out and the results at present are less then flattering. The scar tissue from cutting the ligament has cause a retraction of 5 cm from original length the girth is approx.1.5cm better but he is not sure if it will all be maintained. After 3 months he started giving some stretching exercises to do 3 times a day which living a busy life is hard to do. I wish I had been told this in more detail before hand.
Then the bombshell, after the 2ND post op. consult he told me that the nesbett curvature corrective surgery robbed me of 2cm in length gone never to come back I was furious I would never have let him convince me to have it done, at not stage beforehand was I informed this would happen.
I was getting the surgery to gain length not lose it.
He has told me it takes approx. 12months after surgery to obtain full results if you carry out you exercises religiously so I have just over 6 1/2months in which I will do whatever I can to achieve max results though my original 4-5cm length gain can only ever be 2-3cm gain.
If you have any Q just send a message and I'll let you know what I can.
Cheers
