TOPIC: Looking Into Girth Surgery, Any Reliable Doctors In the Northeast?

Unless you have money I wouldn't have surgery. The complication rate is crazy high. So you need to be prepared to pay for reconstruction if necessary. In the last 4 years alone I've spent at least $30,000 and probably more, just trying to correct a poorly done PE surgery. We have a member who had surgery with Solomon and had to go back and have the Belloderm removed. He was charged for this and a subsequent surgery. Then there are travel and accommodation expense. On top of that, it's highly unlikely you'd get the gains you want. You'll be lucky to still have a 0.5" gain two years post op. If you read about our members who have had allografts, some will reports decent long term gains, but the majority report continual absorption and some have reported the graft shrinking and causing the penis to bend. I spoke on the telephone to one of our members (pmmapossibly) last week and he's seen two surgeons and both are reluctant to try and fix his problems caused by a contacting belloderm graft.

I know it doesn't seem like it now, but you are still so young. It must feel as if life is passing you by and you just want to get this issue dealt with, but honestly patience is your best friend. Wait a couple of years, until you've left college and have a decent job. Then start looking at options. So many of our members would give anything to be 25 again as it seems so damn young. You've still got a couple of years until you get there.

I'm new to this forum, and have been considering widening my member for about a year now. My length is a respectable 6", but my Girth's only about 4.3" on a good day. Clearly, it could be better.

The primary barrier to me getting any surgery done is money. I'm 23 and in college at a state university - I'm not horribly well off. I've been hearing a lot of good things about Dr. Caravantes (sp?) and other foreign surgeons in Latin America and Europe, but I really don't think I'll be able to afford to see any of them. Is there anyone reliable within a few hundred miles of Buffalo, NY that could perform this surgery? I read a post about someone named Dr. Solomon, who's around where I live, but it seemed like the guy who underwent his surgery wasn't faring too well for a few months. If someone else could provide me input about him it would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to see a Girth of 5.5" - 6", but honestly I'd be happy if it was above 5".

I'm also considering using a penile extender to bring my length up to 6.5"-7". Anyone ever tried this in lieu of widening surgery?

Part of me is very apprehensive about going through with the surgery out of fear of frauds like Barron and Rosenstein. I'm in the prime of my life - if someone fucked up my Cock now I don't know what I'd do.

I've decided to go through with the PMMA injection by Dr. Casavantes, though I'm still not sure when. All I know is that I really want my wang to be thick, enough so that I can fit into a Magnum at least. I'd assume that would require about 5.5" in Girth, which may turn out to take two sessions instead of one. Two sessions would put me b/w $7-8k, which is still far below my original limit of $10k.

I'm sorry hoddle - I know you told me to wait it out and see how I felt when I'm older, but I feel like this is something I need. Call it vain or superficial, but I've never been more optimistic about a physical improvement (i.e. better abs, muscular) in my life. As you said, it's difficult to be objective about this, and I realize I have an extreme bias for getting this, but if the complication rate is low then why not? From what I've read, it seems like everybody who's had it are still doing well 3-6 years after the procedure, and I feel like if something negative were to occur, it would have already. I understand that this notion isn't 100%, but it's probably pretty close.

The earliest I'd plan on going through with the first session would be August, but I may end up waiting it out until the winter if I have to.

Any input from those who've had the injection would be awesome (the longer ago the better, but I'm appreciative of all feedback).

hoddle and Skeptical One, you two are right, and I've been talking to a select few others who have the same opinion. I won't be getting the PMMA this summer, and will likely wait at least six months before I go through with it (which gives me just as much time to think about it). Regardless, I have been considering Andropenis extender, which has peer reviewed studies showing its effectiveness. Still, I have heard that there is a risk of ED in some people who use it. Does anyone know whether or not this is true? I realize that this is pretty much exclusively used for length, but I feel like a length of around 7" would be optimal anyway (though it may look odd without increased Girth...). Anyone out there with any experience using the extenders?

Also, hoddle and Skeptical, if you don't mind would you be willing to tell me your experiences with PE? If not it's cool.
