TOPIC: PMMA REMOVAL

@ Finished
Thanks a lot for your reply.
What was the substance that you had injected that successfully treated the fat?

A one Inch incision is not bad. That\'s what my surgeon did too. He told me that in order to properly remove the lump I had, anything less than one Inch would not work. Penis skin should not scar like skin on other parts of the body. Remember the previous post in this thread from the guy who said he had 3 surgeries on his penis and you could barely tell.

Also, if you just have one incision that is about an Inch long, I wonder why your surgeon did not use dermabond glue like my surgeon used on me. It\'s supposed to heal with less of a scar.

I\'ve never had a penis incision, but I cut my forehead pretty bad a year or so ago- I looked like an 80\'s WWF wrestler after getting hit with a chair.
After the doctors I used bacitracin until the stitches came out and then Vit-E religiously. I liked the result.
I was told genetics help too. Some people just heal different, when they have stitches removed the healing process is raised, not flat. I had a doctor tell me that varies person to person- so if you are apt for \'raised scars\' you are just born like that- again, not sure if that related to penis wounds or not.

There are also some more expensive \'scar-away\' type products which I have been told work pretty well also. Hope this helps.

Brock I hope I don\'t have a raised scar. Right now I\'m just taking it easy till I take my stitches out, then continue to relax for a couple more weeks.

Ive heard mixed reviews about vitamin e so I\'m sticking with Vaseline for now cuz that shit goes on everything. Once the stitches come out Friday ill get myself a good scar away cr'me.

Guys,

I\'m im days out from my surgery and things pretty much suck. Ive been in bed this wile time, missing out on work opportunities, nights out with friends and family etc... I\'ve moved back in with my family cuz I can\'t face this issue alone.

This whole waiting game for more PMMA, scar healing just blows. But a recent concert of mine is this sharp pain I get when I squeeze the area where the PMMA was removed. I feel this shock sensation that travels up to the head of my penis whenever I squeeze it. Nerve damage? Anybody else deal with something like this? Pretty fuckng scary and ill be visiting my PCP soon to see if he has an idea what\'s going on.

You just had that surgery so recently. Why are you squeezing the spot near the incision? Of course it will hurt in that area because that is where the surgeon made the cuts. You are supposed to be healing right now, not physically manipulating near where the surgeon made the incision. This will take a shit load of patience. You must get your mind onto something else for a while so that your body can heal naturally.

I just had surgery to remove a lump of fat a few days before you had your surgery and I am healing up pretty well. I damn sure never manipulate the area where the incision was made though and I am keeping my mind on other things.

I\'m not manipulating/squeezing the incision area I was squeezing the area where the PMMA was removed. Two completely different locations. Also, Its impossible not to touch your penis for 1-2 months during the healing process since you have to pee and put clean wraps/antibiotics on etc...

I should just leave it alone and be patient.

I\'m sure that the area where the PMMA was removed has undergone some stress from the surgery. Wouldn\'t it be similar to the area where the lump was removed on me? The surgeon used his knife there, did he not? How else would he have removed the PMMA?

Yeah, you have to just remind yourself that you are in a period of healing that could take a while. I know you have to touch and that\'s perfectly fine. The idea is not to obsess about what it looks like right now. It WILL get better with time. Get your mind onto other things. The NFL season is about to start!

@ywf23: You don\'t really seem stable enough to be having these kind of procedures man. You REALLY shouldn\'t pursue any thing else after this. It seems like you obsessive over it every waking moment.

The weirdest thing is the guys who seem to be pretty lax about it, usually turn out decent. The Guys who analyze and obsess and get caught up to the point of it being all they think about, seem to have the most issues. Pretty weird.

jd123 ill never have Removal surgery again and its tough to lax about things when you have stitches opening up and constant bleeding. I have a doctors appointment next week.

I can only guess why your stitches are opening up... I never touched anywhere near my incision. I just left it alone and my incision is healing really well. You messed with yours too much too early after your surgery. Your doctor should have bound your hands behind your back when he sent you home from the hospital.

Just messin\' with ya man. Leave that damn thing alone!

I was going through airport security and the tsa patted the area and I felt a strong pain. The rest of the area is healing really well.

Oh yeah, as soon as your stitches are out and the incision closes up, use these silicone strips to help get rid of the incision scar and so you won\'t have to look at the scar while it\'s healing.

Cav I bought the scar gel you recommended to me on amazon. It came in the mail yesterday! Now your telling me to buy this lol. The cream looked promising especially with some of the before and after pics on amazon so I went and bought it.

I\'m glad you brought these sheets to my attention however cuz I think its super important to cover the scar while healing, not just slab some cream on it and hope for the best.

Again, what is your approach to minimizing the scar? Any pics?
