Anyone here who has had this procedure done twice, what was the cost of the second one? I know someone said roughly half but what are some answers from patients?

It's the same cost for a full session. Touch ups are around $130/cc, not 100% sure on that one.

mrdeezy, I dont think pulling the glans will affect the entry points , because you are pulling only the glans and the corpora and there will be only mild pull on the shaft skin (so there will be no big pull on your shaft skin). Try to use a stretcher (or with your hand pull your glans) and just do mild to moderate stretch you will see that your shaft skin is still loose and not fully stretched ( that is my opinion and I have used it post-pmma ). If the skin near the glans is pulled tighter than the skin at the base, won't that affect the distribution of the PMMA material? Skin near the glans is already tight in comparison, and if its being pulled even tighter, that means there will be much less room for the material to settle, compared to the base where the skin is more loose, and there is no stretch. Seems to me this would cause the PMMA to be squeezed further up the shaft. |

Im dying to see some pics... I signed up here just after the pics were removed. I have already emailed a few members and have seen one member's results. Would anyone else be willing to send me some?  Just send a PM and I'll give you my email. I have literally read this entire thread over the last few days and based on word of mouth alone I am already stoked for getting PMMA done.. I would love to see some results. Thanks guys!! |

Does anyone know anything about how Herpes could effect PMMA? I'm a bit OCD and though I'm nowhere near ready to consider PMMA, I've started thinking about how it would effect my life. The main area would be that I'd plan on having lots of casual sex with different women and though I'd use protection, this doesn't mean I can't contract herpes, which apparently 25% of adults have. Normally it wouldn't be such a big deal as in most people it's dormant. But what if you contract it and have an outbreak after PMMA. Couldn't it break through the skin and infect the PMMA? The one good thing about being ashamed of your penis, it that it's a great way of protecting yourself from STD's, but if I had a penis to be proud of, i can imagine I'd become a high risk candidate for the STD's that can be contracted even with condom use.

As I understand it, pretty much we all have herpes. There are a few viruses under the herpes name. Some show up on the facial lips and some show on the genitals. I suspect if one gets genital herpes after having pmma, the results will be the same as without pmma. Jut my guess.
Condoms are a good protection but one can get almost any STD even with a condom especially of one likes oral sex. The biggest protection with condoms is for women who may have sex with a male who has aids and the semen will not enter the vagina and cause an infection.

Dear phalloboarders,
It would be hard for me to describe what a pleasure and a relief it has been to read your posts (all of them). Not only because, being French, my capacities of expression in English are somehow limited, but because I was so happy to realize that the people who were experiencing the same problems as me were sensitive, intelligent and funny persons. Being interested in phalloplasty doesn't mean you're a freak and that's good to know!
Also I enjoyed every message of this massive thread : the optimistic as well as the skeptical, the ones about the psychological pain, those concerning the operation or the post-op effects. It's a great sum of useful information you've gathered here and I feel very grateful to you and the excellent moderators (yes SkepticalOne I'm talking about you!).
Facing more or less the same problems as most of you (ie unsatisfying relationships and even some traumatic experiences due to a silly 4.4 inches girth) I am planning to go all the way from Paris to Tijuana to see Dr. Casavantes in September hopefully. And being still a student (26 yrs old though..) it means a considerable financial investment for me, but if pmma is such a godsent (and despite the risks) it's totally worth it.
Before I do that, there is one question that hasn't been really answered (though already asked once or twice) in this thread and that concerns me. Do you know guys if the fact of having a thin and relatively tight penile skin can be an obstacle for the surgery? I have redhaired genes and my skin is really thin and pale. Do you know if the skin can stretch enough?
I know this question has been asked by SkepticalOne before, and since he is about to undergo his surgery very soon (good luck to him!!!) he might help me with this concern. But if any of you has an idea, it would be greatly appreciated. My dream would be to reach a 5.5 girth but even a little less would be great.
Thanks a lot, I'm happy to be part of the community! And hope this thread isn't gonna explode with my new brick!

Bienvenu capital =)
Luxembourg here.
I was planning on going there in September too.
How about going there together? It would be much safer not to be alone in Mexico an not so boring during the 18 hours flight.

Hey Olafspo!
Thanks for the proposition! You're right : 18 hours is dreadful!
I'm not sure about the flight itself however because I am probably going to go to Mexico city first, to visit some friends (ahah I'm probably not gonna tell them the primary goal of this trip..). Plus we will probably have different dates for our appointements.
However I would be glad to share info with you! If ever we're there at the same time, I'd be glad to meet you as well. Did you already arrange an appointement? Do you know where you intend to stay in Tijuana/San Diego? And how long? I'll probably stay for 2 or 3 days: apparently it would be good to have a 20 hours flight just after the operation...
All this provided that my skin concern is not too much of a problem - I should maybe ask Dr C himself..

for guys who have had the procedure: how much of the initial result decreases afterward due to swelling and fluid?

Allgood - It depends on how much you get put in, the concentration and your penis length. Assume if you try to maximize your first session you'll gain around 3/4" and inch in girth.

There is one point it might be important for anyone who is going to have pmma injection (not only for the 1st session but also for the 2nd or the 3rd sessions) -
When we have an erection our penises will increase more in the horizontal (side to side) axis than the vertical (ventral to dorsal) axis i.e. the dorsal surface will be more flat and not so round , so it will not look exactly a cylinder like shape ( that is in my case). So as we know the doctor when he injects pmma he covers 270 degree of our penises (excluding the area over the urethra) so later on ( after the new collagen is formed ) when you have an erection your penis will look more as a cylinder in shape you will have more thicker collagen on the dorsal area than on the lateral surfaces . I think the reason is the doctor is not injecting good amount of pmma in the lateral areas as in the dorsal surface also he injects a bit further away from the urethra (he doesn't want any risk of compression of the new collagen over the urethra so he tries to avoid this area) the other reason is the increase in the horizontal axis (during erection)will push a bit the collagen to the more loose skin in the dorsal area.
It doesn't mean that our penises will look unaesthetic post-injection, but I think anybody who is going to have the pmma injection he should know before hand what will be the shape of his future erect penis.
In my case, I dont care , I am happy with my almost cylindrical shape erect penis, but anyone else who doesn't want that shape he should ask Dr.C. and it will be better if you show him the pic. of your erect penis before the injection.
I hope that point will be more beneficial for you.

Hi a while ago I posted a question, how does injecting plastic into the penis cause collengen to grow? Any of the guys who have had the procedure know the answer. Also do we know exactly when pmma was first used, so we can work out a time frame if things start to go wrong, I ask because IM nearly 50, so if I get the pmma andit lasts 10 yrs then maybe breaksdown or gos hard I wont be fussed because at 60 I expect not to be using my little mate often lol but you never know
