I've got my first round scheduled for the day after your 2nd, so I don't have personal experience, but those early swollen weeks seem like the thing that everyone wanting multiple rounds use as a "sneak preview". So you don't necessarily have to think of it as a loss...

Go ahead and buy a few “clone a Willy” kits on Amazon and start making pre appt molds. I really wish I had done it before I started. Pics and tale of the tape help, but a mold you can hold, look at from different angles and hold up against the new you is priceless. I didn’t see your EL but when you get into 6x6 and above you will need two kits per mold.

Over the past month I've steadily decreased to 5 5 ish EG and 5.25 FG. The swelling was nice while it lasted now I miss it. Even though I'm at a .5 gain it looks and feels like I'm back to pre PMMA again. Initially my goal was 6 25 EG but now I think the long term goal is to have a minimum 6" to 6.25" FG. I'm 6'1 280 and it just looks so much better with a FG that size. Never thought I'd care about FG as much as my EG but since I lost it I want it back. I'm booked on 7/3 with Avanti for another round. If I had to guess this is going to be a 4 round process which I'm absolutely prepared for. I knew this was to be expected I just didn't realize how much it would suck to lose that post treatment swelling.

Considering what we spend on this procedure a couple hundred to have the progress saved for posterity is a drop in the bucket.

Mine was after, but being able to see it from angles that YOU can’t see is really enlightening ,

Taken a step further. I could see where it might guide you if there is an area you want to address when Erect , hell being able to go into avant, whip out your mold and say “ here it is hard, I want more , here, here, and here” .

We get used to what we are seeing over time. Someone parks a tank in the parking lot, everyone notices for the first couple of weeks…. Then it fades in to the background.

Here’s one I did before realizing I’d need two kits per mold so had to push the vibrator farther down to stabilize the mold, also I pulled it out of the mold before 24 hours of setting so it has some rougher edges, two kits, following the instructions , and taking your time would result in a better mold, but you can see how even being able to get a good side look can help
