TOPIC: Beta's Uncut PMMA progress

So at roughly 6 months out one Nodule is no longer noticeable unless I really squeeze the skin, the other however is still there and when I retract my skin and it aligns with the injection point I get a large protrusion. Hopefully this can be removed. I still have lumps that I would like to be addressed but the biggest issue still remains the stuck skin at the base of the shaft. This still keeps me from retracting my skin properly. I\'ll post pics.

you can notice the lumpiness in the second picture. This is mostly due to tight skin pincing when I retract. I think i just need to spend more time Erect with the skin pulled back to loosen it up, lol.

Top view, again you can see where the skin is tight and on the upper right, a hard Nodule is hard to see but it\'s there.

So Wade called me today and it turns out Dr. C will see me for free to correct the affixed tissue. I asked about the nokor needles and they knew exactly what I was talking about. They actually use it there for acne scar treatment. Wade mentioned the larger cannula will essentially do the same thing as a nokor needle but on a larger scale. If things look good after they attempt to fix the tissue I will be getting a round 2 as well(not free). Dr. C said that it might be best to deal with the fixed skin and wait for round 2. We\'ll see. If I can get the skin released and fill in the large divot on my left side I will be a very happy camper.

scheduled for round two september 18th. Or at least to get the fixed skin loosened. Round two will depend on that procedure. If I need to wait I\'ll probably be getting a round two late oct/early nov.

So I had a 1k touch up and they tried to fix the affixed tissue. They did get most of the lumpness fixed. My divots are much less noticeable and the Nodule took some Kenalog and has reduced.

Going back to fill in the last few divots and hopefully another Kenalog shot to finally get rid of the Nodule completely.

However my skin is still stuck at the base and this really sucks as i\'m uncut and when i retract the Foreskin it ends up lumping at the base. Going in for one more round and hopefully they can figure it out otherwise I will have to go to a Urologist who can try and remove the PMMA that is causing the problems. I might inquire about Dr. Camacho who has done scar Removal. Maybe he can do PMMA Removal where my skin is stuck. Does anyone know of any doctors who have done reconstruction for PMMA patients in california?

Removing the PMMA probably wont work as the scar tissue will simply stick to the skin. I suspect a surgeon would suggest trying to rotate some dartos tissue, but I wouldn\'t be optimistic about that. You\'ll get charged several thousand dollars and I\'d day it\'s unlikely to work. You could try placing a temporary scaffold material between the skin and the PMMA, but I think that would require degloving and again might not work.

I think the best option to is release the adhesion with a needle and then continually manipulate the skin. Alternatively Dr Comacho might be able to access the adhesion via his scrotal incision method. This means you wont have a circ incision or an incision at the base, so you should be able to manipulate the skin form the moment you come around from the anesthetic. Once it\'s free you need to keep it away from the shaft and moving as much as possible. If you just let it rest, it will simply re attach itself to the skin.

small Jay, Yes I did get the length back before round 2. I think the loss of length was really due to sweeping at the base for a few months after the procedure.

Hoddle I was worried about the things you mentioned. The needle approach was used by Dr. C but it did not work very well. I do know Dr. Camacho uses the scrotal incision to remove scar tissue from other procedures so i was thinking he might be able to get to the troublesome PMMA. I don\'t necessarily need PMMA Removal, i just need the skin to become detached so it can move properly.

In my opinion you can\'t just shove a cannula in and out in the hope of releasing it from the skin.

You need to spend a lot if time finding the exact point of the adhesion. It will seem that it\'s only stuck in a smaller area, but if you stretch the skin, I strongly suspect you\'ll find the adhesion is over a greater area than you believe. You need to keep the skin stretched taught and lifted from the shaft. Then a needle (I think an 18g Nokor is ideal) should be used to kind of scrape the adhesion of the skin. Once it released you need to do everything you can to stop it rejoining, so you\'ll have to try and constantly manipulate for a couple of weeks.


I bet Dr C has never actually released the skin properly. During the procedure did he actually show you the skin was free?

It\'s weird to me that they are all about 30% on round 1...are the people who have good Round 1 experiences are usually 10% here. I guess it is possible that this board isn\'t a balanced sample, but it seems like people have similar results and lower risk from 10%, right? I don\'t want a huge Dick or additional problems after all i went through...just a normal size if it is humanly possible. They wanted to do mostly 30% w/ me too and I am roughly your length but less Girth...and I retract a lot (which seems to be the main problem). Even if I can\'t get 1 full Inch in Girth, I\'d rather go smaller and not have more problems. Wade said that almost everything eventually resolves, but I don\'t know if he means 12 months or what...I\'d rather just avoid it with a lower concentration and a little less size. I am Circumcised, if that matters...but you have other issues too that I wonder if you\'d have with 10%.

What makes the entry points get nodules? Does anyone know?

No he broke up the troublesome areas with a cannula and then injected kenalogg. I requested he used a nokor needle but he said the cannula would do the same thing. I honestly think that during the touch up he was more concerned with fixing the other aesthetic issues(some nodules and crevices) which he did fix. I think when I go back he will focus more on the adhered skin. I\'ve thought about ordering nokor needles and some anesthetics and doing it myself honestly. I think the procedure would require a lot of patience and time and I\'m not sure that fits into the logistics of their practice.

Hi restoration,

the other issues are definitely resolvable and they should be fixed by this next appointment. Still a little divot on the left and a Nodule on the upper right. I think with proper after care the issues can be avoided. My divot and Nodule is because I massaged Erect with my skin retracted. When you are uncut the Foreskin is substantially tighter then the rest of your shaft skin. So while I was massaging with my skin retracted I was inadvertently squeezing PMMA away from where my forskin fell. This created a divot in that area and pushed PMMA to the upper injection site causing the Nodule. Round 2 i massaged with out retracting and it worked out.

Still not sure how the base skin became stuck to my shaft. I think it might have to do with how loose my base skin is. I can feel PMMA in my skin that then leads back to my shaft.

But a cannula is blunt and a nokor needle is like a mini blade.

A soft tissue adhesion is a tricky fix. Finding the exact area the is stuck and then freeing it with damaging the skin or veins is hard. It\'s really fiddly and I think next time you go, you should get Dr C to focus purely on that. I don\'t think he\'ll be able to do it unless he locates the exact area, creates a tight skin \"tent\", for which he\'d probably need Wade and some surgical tape. He\'s then got to carefully scrape or cut the soft tissue from the skin and it will require a sharp edge. Even then it might well just rejoin.

I don\'t know if it would work, but if he gets it free, maybe if he injected a tiny bit of Restylane under the skin, to sit between the PMMA and the skin, it would stop it rejoining.

Do you work in medical facility Hoddle? I\'m setting up an appointment and hopefully can get an approach that makes more sense.

I do have insurance and I\'m trying to see if I can get Dr. Gelman from UCI to possibly try and unhinge the skin as I attend UCI already. If so then I\'ll probably just have Dr. C focus on filling in the divot and reducing the one Nodule and then see if Dr. Gelman can go in afterwards to unhinge the skin. I agree that the freshly free skin will probably reattach. I plan to at least keep it lower at the base so it attaches lower. I know sometimes in lig cuts they\'ll place fat in-between incisions to prevent attachment. I\'ll ask both Dr.\'s their opinions.

No, I\'ve just had lots of surgeries, most of them with poor results, which leads to hours of research on what I can do to fix it.

I\'d imagine Gelmans solution would be degloving, release of the adhesion and rotation of some Dartos fascia or putting something in between.
