TOPIC: Question about circumcision: Last post before my operation next week

Hyperbol wrote: Why do you want a high cut? Yes, it would effect results because it’s harder to put filler in the skin above the scar. A high cut will leave more inner skin (skin above the scar). I got Ellanse 3 months and 6 months after my circ which was moderately high. My inner skin didn’t react well and I had a lot of nodules there. Maybe I wasn’t rolling or massaging enough but who knows.

I was Circumcised as a baby, so I had no choice. But you saying yours has alot of lumps past the circ scar? This is a concern of mine.

I say this with certainty as I'm an end result of said-treatment.

Unfortunately, some circumcisions lend itself to these issues irrespective of the performing physician, but having one who's experienced in this regard assures the best possible outcome (with subsequent follow-ups). It's a minor risk in my book (since it is not a classical complication) if you have the time and budget to see the process through. If you're someone who's highly critical of even the most minor imperfections, then I'm inclined to suggest against permanent fillers.

My skin was really ripe being tucked under foreskin my whole life where as your skin has been exposed to the elements since birth. I’m sure it will take the needle better. Even IF your wife notices little bumps she’s not going to care once she feels your increased thickness.

Don’t fret so much knowing you can always go back. Both Dr. M and Dr. C do a great job at placing the product. Just try to keep from retracting too much. I used an ads for 6 weeks after my first procedure and it still didn’t look perfect. I tried to massage as best as I could in the weeks after the procedure. Based on my experience I think the natural environment of your penis skin plus retraction will force the product to settle a little differently then when you leave the office no matter how hard you try to prevent it. It’s hard to avoid. BUT it’s not going to look hideous or horribly misshapen unless I guess you really ignore all post procedure instructions given by Ian. Just try your best. Some guys retract more than others.

There are members like Texas who seem to have gone above and beyond post care protocols and got great results and others who just try their best to massage and minimize retraction. Get comfortable with your ads and wear it on the flight home. If you’re leaving two days after, stand on the flight as much as you can. I got a seat all the way in the back and stood for more than an hour people probably thought I was a little looney. Wear the ads as much as you can for a month or so after. Use the hangar they give you. Another user described Ellanse like concrete in that it’s hard to move. I agree with this to an extent. It’s hard to massage into place but it’s not impossible. It stays put real well. Meaning it’s not going to just clump into one spot. Too much retraction and not enough massage I believe will have an effect on final placement but, again, if you give a good effort you’ll be fine.

Afterwards, there is no reason for pain or persistent discomfort.

As for aesthetics, most of the World's most experienced injectors have it down to a science & art, worst-case scenario is a less-than-desirable result that can be revised in subsequent visits (secondary appointments are almost always an inevitability with this type of cosmetic enhancement).

I get being nervous, but if you've read many of the progress reports, you'll come to find how surprisingly smooth these kinds of procedures go. Have practical & grounded expectations, follow pre&post-op instructions, and anticipate at least one more round going into this procedure and you'll do fine Good luck!
