I did the \"phone consultation\" with Dr. Loria about a year ago and it consisted of about 10 other guys on the phone with Dr. Loria explaining the Platinum procedure. At the time, I had already visited another Doctor in Houston named Dr. Capriotti, and already ruled out all invasive procedures such as
Belladerm, alloderm, or dermal fat grafts. After meeting with Dr. Capriotti in Houston, I also ruled out getting Fat Transfer Injections, as I felt the results would not be permanent and also felt the results would be squishy and inconsistent. Nevertheless, I knew I wanted an injectable and found Dr. Loria\'s Platinum procedure through the internet.
All in all, when I was on the phone with Dr. Loria, he opened up the entire panel of listeners to questions. I was surprised that the majority of the other guys on the phone DID NOT didn\'t ask questions. In fact, after hearing Dr. Loria\'s sales pitch, rather than ask questions, they said they were already convinced and were ready to book their procedures and only asked questions about price.
Me, on the other hand, asked hardcore questions, such as what the hell is the carrier that he\'s using to push the Silikon 1000 into the penis, and why the heck does he require people to place a rubber band at the base of their penises during the recovery of the procedure? I also informed the other people on the phone about
PMMA and asked him if the carrier was similar to the carriers used in Metacrill and whether the carrier he used had a higher risk of migration, and therefore, required the use of a rubber band at the base of the penis during the after care protocol.
Dr. Loria did not really answer my first question. If I remember correctly, he said that it was a water-based or oil based solution. I wish I had recorded the conversation, but I was more focused on listening and asking questions than anything else. However, he never identified the substance by name. As for his answer to the rubber band question, I believe he lied to me. He stated that the rubber band is not only used in his procedure but also used in the recovery process when patients opt for
PMMA. At that time, I had already done all my research on
PMMA and knew
PMMA recovery DID NOT and DOES NOT require the use of a rubber band during the recovery process. As such, I freaked out that he said this because he lied. There\'s no question he knows what
PMMA is and knows who Dr.C is and it seemed to me that Dr. Loria didn\'t want his listeners to know anything more about
PMMA other than it was not legal here in the U.S. and that his product was FDA approved (which is only half true, since he uses or applies the Silikon 1000 as an off-shelf procedure when he injects it into the penis rather than the conventional Micro-drop process).
All in all, don\'t choose Dr. Loria solely because he\'s in the U.S. and wants to sell you an over-priced procedure. Do your research figure out what\'s best for you. You might want the Fat Transfer procedure or other nonpermanent fillers. That\'s OK. Just don\'t go willy nilly into Dr. Loria\'s sales pitch, especially if he\'s going to begin lying and doesn\'t care to disclose what he\'s using to mix up the Silikon 1000.
BE INFORMED MY FRIENDS, BE INFORMED.
