My questions are: Why do some doctors perform filler surgeries while the patient is Erect or semi-Erect when some doctors don’t? Does it make a difference in the final aesthetics? Is one way less safe than the other? Thanks! Could not find the answer to this in the forum.

How well it works in practice I don't know, but in theory it sounds like more of a marketing technique than a surgical technique. What I mean by this is that your penis will eventually go Flaccid shortly after your surgery, and the window of time your penis can lump & clump can be as long as days...making the Erect approach kind of unnecessary. Not saying doing it Erect is a bad thing, I just don't see it really making much of a difference when you're dealing with fillers.

I thought it would help me get a better spread of product. Sometimes I would find a patient looked good Erect or Flaccid but not both and with Foreskin retracted being the most difficult to get right. As I usually do 2 session for most treatments I then moved to doing 1 Erect and 1 Flaccid. There is a risk, especially in young fit guys of priasm (prolonged Erection) with caverject, which is not fun. So now, if I can avoid using it I do. But when I think it can help, or if a guy says there is a irregularity that can only be seen with Erection then I will use Caverject.

To be honest, I've never thought of that... it definitely makes a lot of sense if we're talking Revision & Repair work, where "ridges" or "nodules" are perhaps more discernible in an Erect state. That's why we have Specialists & Surgeons like Dr. Oates around, to help explain these topic(s) in their totality. I should say, however, my bias against induced erections stem from a highly unethical and unscrupulous clinic (which wont be named) who employed the technique and touted it as a reason they were cutting-edge. If a legitimate practitioner is finding consistent success with the technique, then more power to him or her. Like I said originally, the technique in it of itself doesn't seem terribly risky (relatively speaking), and Dr. Oates pointed out the necessary precautions that can be taken if a patient were to undergo an induced Erection. .
