Harveyman had a EL of 6.5-6.75 and started with a EG of 4.75-4.85 and he said he gained .5 Inch in circumference. According to his PMMA progress report, he maintained a Girth of 5 1/8-2/8 after 8-10 months. In regards to touchups, he did not say they were needed. He was confident that bumps and such can be fixed by message the first week. What us everyone thoughts on the Dr telling me that there may be some permanent growth with Radiesse? I was surprised he mentioned that and wished I would have asked more questions. He did tell me that he self injected Radiesse in his face and it seems to have last over 2 years. He did say the penis is more vascular and this contributes to faster breakdown. I wonder if getting multiple injections would eventually lead to a permanent gain?

Wow and the Dr you speak of is exactly 57 miles from my home. Cutting out travel and hotel costs makes this a VERY inviting idea for me to hold over until I'm more certain of perm fillers. I think I'm going to have to talk to the good DR. myself.

Thank you for getting this info and sharing it!

As far as I'm concerned, I will likely go through with the procedure at some point but I will wait some time. Maybe 6 months. The thoughts of using PMMA are really out of the question for me at this point. I would like to add a thought for those that are on the fence. If one is willing to use a temp filler for the time being, I imagine more fillers will enter the market. Possibly, a product that is longer lasting or one that can be more easily removed. It's nice knowing that if an issue does arise, it will not be permanent. Furthermore, Radiesse is made from materials the body recognizes, which I believe is quite advantageous.
