TOPIC: Sudden trouble with Dr. Elist's silicone implant

@PatrickEire, Mustang2020 and JazzyJ (and all else who are interested)

I'm sorry I'm late to these forums. I've only found it a week ago and have finally finished reading EVERYTHING on the site. Some very good info here and I hope I can contribute in kind. I used to post on MNS back in the day but left as it became clear what they were turning into. But having said that...

Unfortunately, the "thread" (as you described it) in your penis is NOT scar tissue. Elist places a band attached to the pubic bone and running up the penis shaft to behind the glans anytime somebody has to have the implant removed due to infection. I had it as well. He told me that it was to make sure the penis stabilizes itself during healing. He should have told you this before hand but as many of us are finding, he's not very straightforward with his clients. You will need to have it surgically removed. It is a hard substance (plastic, silicone?) and doesn't stretch very well. The one he used on me was so short that my penis didn't even hit 4 inches! For a guy who went from a clean 6" to under 4, trust me, it was tramatic. It also made me curve upward and to the left. Maybe he made it longer for others but mine was definitely no picnic. I'll probably write up my story as well as I don't want to get into it here. It's a long journey and its not over yet.

All the best to you,

MHN

This is beyond ridiculous now. Elist needs to be stopped. What he is doing is criminal! There are so many Elist victims now, that surely a blog should be set up for "victims of Dr James Elist." I know if you search for him in google PhalloBoards is one of the first results (hence we've had so many issue's with his shills), but a site with a title like that would really catch the attention of anyone considering this procedure. Surely if enough of you get together the FDA have to take notice. He shouldn't have a medical license.

Having gone through the Elist Implant experience myself, I know all too well what damage this man has inflicted on his patients, not only on a physical level but a mental one as well.In my more than 3 years of following the implant and Dr. Elist (on this board and others), I have seen countless horror stories, and about only three ((3)successful ( as in they haven't had to be removed yet).

Hi MHN and everyone,
This really makes me sick now. No doubt, originally I had given Dr Elist permission to put his faulty implant into my penis. Probably because I was ill-informed due to the many shills on the Internet. But when the implant had to be removed, I had made it clear that I really wanted everything out. And now you are telling me that there are some other "Elist leftovers" inside my penis?
I do have to admit that my pecker is back to normal at this point, maybe slightly thicker than it used to be. But I also have this fecking "thread", whatever it is. May I ask you, MHN, did your original length come back after you had this string removed?
I think we should do everything we can to prevent other men from getting hurt. If I was to set up and pay for a new web site (fully dedicated to Dr Elist), would you (all Elist victims) give me permission to post your stories? There is probably not much we can do to stop Dr Elist, but we can do our best to stop other men from walking into this terrible trap.
Thanks lads!Pat

If elist left anything inside my penis like a thread or anything else without telling me ( and he never said anything as such) I will sue him!

I had my implant removed a year ago due to infection. I have not had it replaced yet. My size has reduced from 7 inches to 4 inches and I do not get erections but my penis gets slightly larger during the night. Nighttime almost erections feel the same but the penis does not get hard. I have ejaculated once in the past year. How long should I wait to see about reimplantation? My MD said wait another year till everything is healed up then put in the new malleable that is concealable. Any responses?

My God! I would never even remotely consider getting the implant.
Kyle,
I assume you are referring to the Elist implant. After your previous experience and reading other's Elist victim's posts, how can you even contemplate getting another implant? I suggest focusing on your health and improving your EQ and then reassess Phalloplasty options at that point.

Those are some serious issues. Do you have any photos, especially before & after? I have heard of similar issues, but yours seems on the extreme side. Pardon my skepticism, but I really believe you'd do our forum (and prospective patients) a service but sharing as much information as possible... at the very least it'll enable us to offer you better advice.
There are some guys here who are familiar with implant removal, and there is one thread in particular that is very detailed: phalloboards.websitetoolbox.com/post/The...MMA-and-then-5414806 . You may also want to do searches on Messageman and Nueknob as well.
Personally, I'd seek out the consultation of multiple urologists and have this erection issue looked into. One year out, and the doctor is asking for another year for full recovery? Two years to recover from the removal of an implant sounds a bit much I think... Sounds like nerve/tissue damage to me. I'm no doctor though, so this is all mere speculation. You really need to see a doctor and get a professional opinion asap!
I have some additional questions (like, was this the Elist implant?), but I think it would be wise to start a new progress report since this thread belongs to PatrickEire. If you need assistance with starting a new thread, feel free to shoot me or a Moderator a private message.
Good luck and I hope you overcome these unfortunate circumstances!

Dr. Elist does leave stitches in the penis. Stitches I SPECIFICALLY asked him to remove but he didn't. The stitches I feel are on each side of the penis right blow the glans. I am pretty sure they go through the whole penis.

Like others who had this removed, I have trouble getting full hard erections unless I take an ED drug like Viagra. I've lost an Inch in Erect length.

I feel for you guys with more issues but it does get better with time.

Good luck,,

I think I know exactly what you mean about the "feel" of titches on either side behind the glans. Those were two stitches that he uses to secure the silicone implant to the shaft near the glans. This is the worst and most stupid thing he does because it hurts like hell for weeks and it leaves Scar tissue after Removal which is what I think you are feeling. I feel it too and it does get a bit better in time but it is always there.

Removal of the implant has also caused me loss of Erect length and my EQ is not as good as it used to be but I think age may have added some to the EQ problem.

Hello guys I am new here but I wanted to add that I had the implant put in by Elist back in Apr 2010 and had complications which involved a serious bulge that almost caused my skin to split. I had to go through pain for 6 months before having it removed due to money issues. Since then I've lost about 3/4" and have serious curvature and even worse if I do bone pressed and bad scar tissue. I've also had hard time getting erections I believe due to depression. Well the reason I am here is because I have contacted a lawyer and I would like for others that feel how I do to please inbox me if you would like to take action with me. The lawyer told me the more people that go after him as a group the better chances we have at nailing this dirtbag that has messed up our lives.

Yes, lawsuit is what is expected at this point. I'm new here but not new to the Elist implants! I've had 4 failed surgery attempts, tried em all. Finally had it removed just to end up with inche and half lose in length. My story dates back over 3 yrs. Talk to me about lawsuit thoughts. My penis is ruined.

This is a great idea, I hope the victims of Dr Elist can band together & make him pay dearly.

When I talked to Gelman last week, he said that he had removed 2 Elist implants that week alone.

Time to sue, if you need me, im right here..........Elist has ruined too many lives with his wishful thinking attitude & the implant that has destroyed many mens lives. I would even be a spokesperson for all of us & go on CNN if needed be, I dont care who sees me, I am willing to do it to stop this clown from proceeding with any more surgeries & we could close him down with a big lawsuit!
