TOPIC: Going for PMMA soon. It sounds too good to be true.

Oh man miracle, you put that moment of doubt in my head for a little. I\'m 28 so you put that extra moment of doubt in my head!

Also, why wouldn\'t someone post a bad experience on here or somewhere else? If something is a lie, doesn\'t work or messes up I would want other people to know. Especially on a forum where you can still remain anonymous.

I will not violate other\'s privacy. Some people aren\'t comfortable admitting there is any kind of problem or the decision they have made led to said problem. Suffice it to say the procedure is not perfect and complications have gone unreported on the forum. That said, none have been MAJOR nor required surgical Removal. I do not recommend any kind of Phalloplasty; despite the glowing reports here on PMMA. I also DO consider PMMA the best option for Girth at this point. Not an attempt to scare others but please, think about the risks before going through. You cannot undo it IF something unexpected does go wrong. I was prepared to live with a non functional penis as I have in the past do to peyronie\'s. Ask yourself if you really HAVE to have it done, then proceed.

M7x5.3 ... And Growing!

I strongly encourage and highly recommend any & all members and guests to share their reports with us on their progress with PMMA & penile bioplasty.
In order to make it easier, you can create a very brief report with all the pertinent information needed to build a bigger picture of what we\'re dealing with here.
It is especially important members and guests who have experienced any sort of complication (major or minor) to report them here. This is a part of the story that I\'m afraid we\'re not getting enough exposure to. From my understanding and my communication with members, no major complication has been claimed by anyone (as M7 also noted). However, minor complications as well as aesthetic issues many times go without being discussed or posted to the forum. Not only will sharing this information improve the overall knowledge database on the subject, but will further demonstrate the reality that this is a medical procedure that carries risks just like all others.
Just so some get an idea... 38% of registered users have posted 1 time or more, leaving 62% on lurker status (and that doesn\'t take into account non-registered guests).

Well said SO.

OK. This gives me pause. Negative outcomes? You have my undivided attention. I would like to know of negatives also. Otherwise I\'m not making an informed decision. If I had a negative outcome; I personally would consider it a \"civic duty\" to let those on this and other boards know about it.

It\'s the \"civic duty\" of those who are reporting (in confidentiality) of negative issues to come forward. No one is stopping them. If anyone is reading this who has faced negative issues (whether it was resolved or not), it is imperative this information be shared with the forum at large.
As for information that may have been shared with Moderators in confidentiality, that\'s information they can reveal at their discretion. I don\'t believe pressing them would be fair, since their only responsibility would be to share their own negative issues, if they ever had any.
As far as I\'m aware (I stay in contact with Moderators as well as members on a constant basis) - no major complications (e.g. tissue Necrosis, rejection, infection) have ever been reported to date with Dr. C\'s penile bioplasty procedure. However, minor complications have been reported. Minor issues tend to be either aesthetic complaints or Nodule formation, skin discoloration, and occasional pulsations of mild pain in the shaft. To my knowledge, many of these issues have been resolved on their own, many others resolved with treatment, and I\'m sure some still persist to this day. To what extent these problems pose for the future is unknown because members are not forthcoming enough.
Why anyone on this forum would believe going into this procedure would be free of risks and would be the magic bullet cure for their Girth woes is beyond me. I can\'t begin to stress how much of a pioneering & underground effort this is. PB is not home to those who can\'t appreciate this very idea. Phalloplasty is plagued with failed methods, unrefined techniques, and inconsistent results (at best). Penile bioplasty is the new kid on the block and only those who are truly prepared (and willing) to accept the risks inherent in this world of elective medicine aught to be getting this kind of thing done.
With that being said, there have been many successes in the short-term, myself included. But you\'ll only find me recommending this procedure to a few select types of males. I\'m not criticizing others who choose to get it who may not be ideal candidates (at this time), but for many who are on the fence, there is no harm in waiting for time to be the judge in this matter. Dr. C is refining his technique and upgrading his instruments, and collagen-wrapped PMMA beads are in many of our members...suffice it to say 3-5 years from now will be more indicative of where this procedure stands. If you can wait that long, then why not just wait that long?
