AlloDerm for girth enhancement, few questions
Hi Dr,. Reed,
I am interested in your Alloderm girth enhancement procedure. I currently reside in Atlanta, GA. If decided to have this procedure done, I would fly in.
I have a few questions:
- What are the payment options? Are there any specials right now?
- Where are the incisions made for this procedure? Under the head of the penis? At the base?
- What is the recovery time for this procedure? How long before intercourse?
- I read patients who undergo this procedure must stay 4 days, is this still standard procedure? Why 4 days?
- Do you perform this procedure on weekends?
- What tasks do out of town patients usually perform before coming into town for this procedure?
Thanks in advance for answering my many questions!
Sergio
Good morning Sergio,
Thank you for your interest in what we do.
Taking your thoughtful questions in the order posed…
What are the payment options?
You have to be prepaid before surgery. Yes, we accept pre-payments
and many a patient has done that a 1000 dollars at a time.

Are there any specials right now?
No.
Where are the incisions made for this procedure?
Under the head of the penis? At the base?
Yes there is a 9 to 3 o’clock incision in the coronal sulcus,
the groove in back of the head of the penis and a vertical incision
about 1/2 to 3/4 on an inch long at the peno-pubic junction. Both incisions
are closed very cosmetically and usually heal quite neatly
and fairly inconspicuously.
What is the recovery time for this procedure?
You need to be on strict bed rest for 4 days at the Baltic Hotel
following procedure, and keep a wrap on for 7 to 8 days.
How long before intercourse?
About 8 weeks,.
I read patients who undergo this procedure must stay 4 days, is this still standard procedure?
Absolutely. A. To prevent shifting and sliding of the dermal-matrix product,
and to minimize post-operative swelling and bruising.
Why 4 days?
Usually maxes out by that time. I have to see you at the Hotel everyday.
Do you perform this procedure on weekends?
No.
What tasks do out of town patients usually perform before coming into town for this procedure?
Please initiate an over the phone consultation. Our fee is 250 and is a one time consultation charge.
All the best and have a restful weekend,
