I talked to several lawyers back in 2009, none were willing to take me on, maybe I should have sent pictures.

I talked to someone last week on here & they too have talked to like 15 lawyers, none of which wanted his case. Elist, the Beverly Hills butcher is connected & has a lot of pool. Seems like no one wants to go after him...........maybe a bunch of guys (like 30 or 40 guys) picketing in front of his office building will get the ball rolling.............this guy wont be stopped unless we do something about it.

If I ever hit the mega-millions or powerball, I will take out ads in every major newspaper in the country telling everyone what he all about & will post up billboards about him (but thats all a dream for now)

What an unbelievable nightmare, I feel for all of you, including OP. Mustangs thread was unbelievable as well, but this one just has so many complaints from various people. Really is amazing when you visit Elist's website and look at the list of risks (all of which are delivered in a way to make you think they're avoidable or fixable), as well as the claim that serious side effects are very rare, and even that it has an (estimated) 95% success rate!

95% certainly does not reflect the content of this thread, unless you're talking about the disaster rate. Best of luck to you all, and I mean that.

Then I was left with adhesions so severe i couldn't get an erecton. So the good doctor gave me cortizone to inject into my own penis! I ended up getting MRSA, went to a urgent care center they gave me an inappropriate antibiotic and two weeks later I was on deaths bed in emergency surgery. The infection tunneled from the base of my penis down into my scrotum. They had to remove my left testicle and I was left with an open wound and had to be on a wound vac for 3 months. Now my penis is smaller than originally and does not work. It is completely irresponsible for Dr Elist to perform these surgeries and not be there to do follow up care. You may as well be going to Mexico. Responsibly he should be affiliated with other doctors to provide follow-up. I am looking to get a class action suit together. Originally I liked him but now I see him for what he is. THE BUTCHER OF LA I have all the pictures of this pathetic butchers work on my body. It doesn't cost that much to have a web site right next to his! Eventually we will all be vindicated. Hopefully a law group will eventually be found that has the passion to go after this butcher. And it is Dr. Elist's own FDA approved product don't forget. I did verify his patent and the FDA approval.

My name is Patrick, I am a 35-year-old from Ireland, and I had surgery with Dr. Elist in January of 2010 (penile implant). I have taken out a huge loan to travel to the US, stay at a hotel, and most importantly, have the surgery done. It will be another 3 years before my loan is paid off!
Initially, I was very happy with Dr. Elist's implant. I did have some serious initial pain, which far exceeded the "moderate" pain described on his web site. However, after about 2 weeks I was almost pain free and the healing went well. After about 10 weeks, I was able to have "light" sex with my wife.
Like many others have reported, I could feel the edges of the implant and a sharp tip pointing to my penis head (on top, where the two halfs were stitched together). The implant material itself seemed very sturdy / hard inside my penis. It was very noticeable to the touch, but it did look really well. And I finally felt comfortable using public urinals, etc. I really loved the look of my new penis.
About 3 months ago, having had normal sex with my wife (not hardcore, but not light either, just "normal"), my penis was sore all night and the next day. I started to feel sick and in the following night, my body temperature rose to 104 degrees. My wife gave me 2 Paracetamol tablets every 4 hours to get the temperature down to normal. My penis, scrotum, and pubic mound hurt like hell and everything was very swollen. I wrote to Dr. Elist, who told me to see my GP and have him prescribe very strong antibiotics. Of course, my GP examined me very thoroughly and, not knowing what that was inside my penis, questioned whether this was a good thing to have. It took 3 full weeks for the swelling to go down. I have taken the Antibiotics for those full three weeks.
During this time, and afterwards, my local GP kept re-examining me and he explained that the material in my penis had become loose an the sharp tip and/or the edges caused microscopically small injuries, which, in turn, caused the infection. I have contacted Dr. Elist several times after this for advise, but he only asked for pictures and once I had sent them, he would not write back to me.
Can any of you give me any advise? My penis is currently causing tolerable pain, but it is certainly deformed, because the implant seems to have dislocated and my penis appears much wider now (not nice!), especially on one side. I might be able to lend some money for another flight to LA, but I certainly cannot pay for another surgery to have the implant repaired or removed by Dr. Elist. I am still paying for the first surgery. Is he ethically or legally required to fix or remove it free of charge? What will happen to my penis if he removes it? Will it be all messed up? I am really frightened.
Also, I have not had sex with my wife since the infection (because I simply can't, erections cause pain similar to the pain I had right after surgery) and this can't be going on forever. There seems to be no healing on its own. Should I start wrapping my penis again?
I would appreciate any advise any of you could give me. Thanks for your time and concern.
