TOPIC: PMMA @ Avanti Derma 4/15

When I was at around day 12 I started noticing irregularities too and Ian told me to stop massaging too regularly, which would make the swelling worse. So I decided to do light massages 2-3 times a day. I first wrapped my penis with a hot towel to make the skin more flexible and I held the penis in the palm of my left hand and lightly pushed on the nodules with my right thumb while doing small circles. I did that for a couple of minutes, not more than 2-3 times and day. Other than that I did nothing except using the Hanging ball and it really helped. Right now I'm at day 49 and it's way better than it was during the first couple of weeks.

I don't think you should keep the compression wrap right now. Just do a couple of light massages a day and use the Hanging ball at least 4-5 hours a day. But I know how you feel because I had the same problem: I had anxiety triggered by seeing a huge, swollen penis and I thought I would be stuck with a bigger result than I wanted initially. Chances are you're still swollen right now and it will dissipate in the next weeks.

In summary, just do what I suggested, keep your mind busy, don't look too often at your penis (which will make your anxiety worse) and let a couple of days go by before checking for significant changes.

From your last pic, your penis looks much better than mine did at that time so I think you'll be fine when everything heals in a couple of weeks.

I'm with @moes . I think it looks pretty good right now. I would follow his advice. It sounds like you might be overdoing it. I had a few bumps those 2-3 weeks out after round 1 and I obsessed over them, sharing my accounts, and folks told me to leave them be, that they should go away. And guess what? They did. At this point, you're cruising from here on out and collagen should be doing its thing. Focus on going back to your routine or creating one that doesn't revolve around this care. If you deal with retraction (which doesn't look like you do), I'd say to continue wearing the ball weight. Other than that, I think it looks healthy. Have you noticed those bumps when you're erect?

How long does AD recommend wearing the ball weight?

After my procedure, Ian told me to wear at least 3 hours a day (if I remember correctly) and optimally during the whole collagen forming period, which is between 6 to 8 weeks. Once you get used to it, it's not that bad.

How heavy is the ball weight , if you don’t mind my asking

The ball is about a lb, I would guess. It feels decently heavy. I don't use it very often as I have another extender I use.

I did wear a stretcher or wrap a majority of the time during the first 2 weeks. I had a lot of swelling so I focused a lot on wrapping as it stops retraction and I was paranoid of all the swelling.

I just weighed mine on a kitchen scale. 6 oz total. I actually bought the stretcher AD hands out prior to my procedure to get acclimated to it. I’ve since combined the 2 metal Balls to make it 12 oz. I was a bit surprised as I was also guesstimating the single ball setup to be just about a pound.
