TOPIC: Skiman's Surgimend Journey

skiman wrote: So let me put some context into why I chose the route I chose. First of all I had decided that if I was going to have this done, I wanted it to be by a cosmetic/plastic surgeon with experience with Phalloplasty, and, I wanted to have it done close to home in the event there were any issues. When I first engaged with Dr. Liu, I actually had intended on getting permanent filler (which he offers in addition to dermal graft), which after multiple discussions with Dr. Liu on the pros and cons of both, I elected to get Surgimend. With Surgimend, I was able to get the same result with one procedure as most men get with two to three procedures (meaning an Inch in enhancement both flacid and Erect right off the bat). The cost ended up being the same if not less than it would have been if I'd gone for multiple sessions with fillers. Yes, I had to wait 4-5 weeks to be able to have sex again due to internal stitches, but, when you compare going in for multiple sessions and having to wait two weeks (as recommended by the doctors) each time you have more filler added, it ultimately seemed very comparable to me. I also didn't have to deal with the molding and shaping that you have to deal with with fillers, nor do I have to worry about nodules forming etc, and many of the other things I've read about on this board (such as uneven results etc.). Timing worked out well for me as it was right before the holidays, which would have been a low sex period for my wife and me anyways with our kids and family visiting. Let me also clarify the 6-8 month recovery period. That is how long collagen growth is expected to happen following this type of procedure. The doctor expects that I will gain another half Inch to Inch+ based on his experience from that, meaning I won't reach my final Girth state until 6-8 months after the procedure. Obviously, results will depend on how my body produces collagen, but I am noticing differences already. The doctor also has me on a diet meant to stimulate collagen growth, and I am supplementing as well. My view is even if my body doesn't produce much collagen, I'm happy with getting an Inch.

I've been very graphic and honest in my updates on this so that people on this board can have a good understanding of this procedure as an alternative to fillers. I am six weeks into this, and so far am very happy with the results. My penis looked like a truck hit it the day I had it done, but it is looking and feeling better and better every day. I am still not back to my full Erect length prior to surgery, but that is getting better every day too. Now that the doctor has me Hanging several hours a day, I expect that my flacid will get longer, and who knows, maybe I'll even gain some Erect length beyond where I originally was as well.

He will continue to submit periodic Q&A's much like some of the other Sponsors do, and they will continue to add to the overall knowledge base here, so that the PhalloBoards can remain a trustworthy, comprehensive source material for those vetting their options.
