TOPIC: Avanti PMMA Round 1 - 2/18/26

I am posting this because I had 12 cc of Bellafill 8 yrs ago. Had some removed. Flaccid length 7 in, Erect length 7.5-8, Flaccid Girth 6.5, Erect Girth 7-7.25.

Things settle and there is hope.

Thats a unit right there! What was the Removal process like? Cost, invasiveness, who did it etc?

What was your before and after? In terms of both Flaccid, Erect and Girth measurements. Was 12 cc of Bellafill all you got in your whole life?

I actually came in the exact same day as you, the 18th at 12pm, and I've been on a similar roller coaster as you. The initial excitement followed by panic, followed by now a kind of acceptance of the process. I'm right there with you man.

My filler/swelling seems to bunch at my base a bit in a ring, although mine is very slight and not really noticeable unless I feel for it. Were you bandaged for a full day after the procedure? The Hanger didn't work for me so they kept the bandage on for 24 hours--I wonder if that causes the filler to bunch up at the base, right where the bandage ends.

One thing about this process that surprised me was that it seemed more haphazard than I expected. There was no point where I sat down with Dr. Morales and we discussed what sort of results I wanted and what my options were to get there. I was basically thrust into the OR and had to communicate what exactly I wanted with 3 people staring at my Dick under bright lights right before getting shot up with anesthesia. I ended up getting what was a lot more filler than I wanted in retrospect, and that can't be undone.

I also found it strange that they recommend the zen Hanger but don't tell you this until after you arrive so you have to order it and wait a week+ for delivery. Meanwhile, when the Hanger they provide doesn't work you're told to just bandage... but the bandage definitely scrunches your penis/skin so that doesn't seem good for how the filler settles.

Anyway, I started to regret my decision and e-mailed and Dr. C responded. He was very thoughtful and compassionate, and put me at ease.

At this stage, it's just too early to know what our outcomes are going to be. We're swollen like crazy and things will change a lot over the next few weeks and months. And worrying is pointless anyway. Any decisions we have to make like getting touch ups.... those decisions will come, but not now. Right now, the best thing for our results and our sanity is to just trust and stick to the process we started.

Thousands of guys before us have been on the roller coaster we're on now. The vast majority of them are happy with the results, no matter what problems they had along the way. Chances are we'll be good in the end. Wishing you the best, my brother.

Gelman did Removal. It was rough. I removed Bellafill, most of it, 6 mos after having it placed. I freaked. My before was 7x6. I did have 24 cc of HA over the years too, but that’s all gone now.

How was most of it removed if you’re still 1.25 inches bigger in Girth than before? You should make a post. All of these detailed posts help us advance and move this science forward.

That was my experience too. Felt super rushed. 45 mins start to finish. Didnt have any idea what they were putting in (10% vs 30%) or how much until it was over even though I kept asking how many units were in so far throughout the procedure.

They never mentioned the zen Hanger. Ian gave me the ball Hanger two days after the procedure and told me to wear it as much as possible.

I hope you’re right that time will reveal a better result than what I’m seeing now. This ring feels super weird, like a hula hoop shaped tumor around my Cock. I remember showing Ian less than a day after the procedure but at that point it just felt like a thin border where the product stopped and he didn’t seem to think it mattered. Just told me massage, massage, massage. I massaged but it just got bigger and more pronounced. Now it’s less of a drop off and more of a mountain range.

But of course you’re right and the time for decisions is not now. It’s just such a bummer to put in all the time and effort and money only to feel buyers remorse so soon after.

Yes over wrapping will absolutely cause that. I made the same critical mistake the first time and slept with the wrap on and I’m pretty sure it’s what caused my issues. The problem with aftercare is there is no one size fits all because a lot of it depends on your individual anatomy. I think the mistake a lot of people make is they try to re-wrap it exactly like it was after the procedure and that causes problems. And perhaps some people are just more susceptible to this based on anatomy.

How did you go with the aftercare? Did you follow much of Texas’ protocol and sleep Dick down? Just trying to figure out how to appproach it when my procedure comes up.
As everyone here is saying, it seems like time will likely be your friend regarding your concerns during healing. Hopefully you don’t have too far to travel for a second appointment, but it’ll be worth it as 99% of guys aren’t lucky enough to one and done.

Bro is this 1 round!?!
Your before looks exactly like me. Measurements are spot on.
Because if this is the results of 1 round with 21CC I know exactly what I need now

StanG wrote: If you’re doubting yourself to do it DONT! I will tell you right now first had I love how my new piece looks! It’s heavy Girth and still looks portioned. Avanti Derma was great Dr. moralas and Ian were great and made me feel completely comfortable. I am home after 2 days of being there and I cant express enough the confidence I feel.

Quick example: I took a shower soon as I got home my wife came in the shower to see what it looked like she walked in and out the bathroom about 4 times had to come back in to really look at it and touch and grab it lol well long story short she complimented it a bunch of times and can’t keep her eyes off it and I looked at her red pajama pants she was wearing when she bent over and well that thing was so damn wet she won’t even get close to me because she says it’s so damn tempting giving me the eye everywhere I go in this house lol!

Also my stats before
Flaccid- 4in
FG-3.5
Erect 7in
Girth 4.9
After so far!
Flaccid 5.5-6in
FG 5.2-5.4
Erect-7
EG-5.7/5.8 middle shaft
5.5-neck
Base-6.0

21CC of 30%

Is this 1round with 21CC no other enhancements?
If so I know exactly what I need because our before measurements are identical and it looks like “me” in the pic.

Yeah bro that is round 1 for me I guess some people it just works a bit better so I would say I got lucky fr and it’s a dramatic difference

Also how did you gain .5-1 Inch in length after?

Total hx:

2010- lengthening with dr Rosenthal
2011- Alloderm Girth, removed 1 week later due to infection

Lengthening allowed me to go from 6 in to 7 in when warm and Flaccid
Allowed me to go from 7-7.5/8 Erect with years of manual stretching.

2016-2018. 18 cc Restlyn define HA
2018- 12 cc Bellafill

This got me up to 7.5 Girth from tip to base

Bellafill caused strong inflammatory reaction.

2019- had Dr Gelman UCI remove as much as he could of Bellafill.

Healing and recovery was rough. Swelling go a good year.

I still get some swelling and I have a little
contour issue I feel, however it works

My Flaccid, if warm is: 6 sometimes 7 in
Flaccid Girth between 6 and 6.5

Erect length: 7.5-8
Erections Girth: mid: 6.5-6.75
Base 7.25

The gains are from surgery, stretching, and prob scar tissue

Any questions let me have them.

Sorry, skep, if u think I should be in a new
Thread please move me over to one. Thanks
