The physics of the vacuum power caused the internal stuff to move towards the path of least resistance, namely the top of the cylinder where the hose is attached. That gave me more of a pig in the blanket look, and brought the PMMA closer to the surface, which shows as lumps. I'll post a pic soon so as to show what I mean.

However, the left side is fine. I'm wondering if how you stick your unit in your pants makes a difference. I also have a lot of bumps and ridges after round 3 and will probably need a smoothing treatment sometime.

I used a Kaplan pump with the vacuum gauge. I've been using DMSO gel now, and it seems to have softened up the whole shaft somewhat to where it looks tolerable to me now. I may not want to touch up if by using this for two weeks, the irregularities dissipate.

I did find my base narrowed as well. One thing it definitely helped with was a Nodule I had on the left side 3/4 to the base. It was hard 7 days post -op. After 2 weeks of pumping the Nodule slowly got softer, and now has disappeared. Unless I have another Nodule develop this round, I will not pump until 8 weeks post op.
