vasectomy with length and or girth

Friday, January 13th, 2012

January 5, 2011

Dr. Reed,

Would it be possible to have a vasectomy in conjunction (simultaneous) to a penis lengthening and girth (belladerm) operation?

Thank you,

Jafer

Good morning Jafer,

Yes, we can do a vasectomy in conjunction with penile lengthening or with girth enhancement, but lengthening and girth enhancement cannot be done together.

That’s a blue print for disaster.

Getting there all at once (simultaneous surgery) not advised

Dear Dr. Reed,

I would like to know how many inches i could gain with the penile lengthening program, a saw a picture of one of your patient that achieved flaccid length slightly greater than 6 inches.

thanks  Adalberto

December 2, 2011

Good morning Adalberto,

The length result is more dependent on dedicated use of traction than surgery or after surgery, although surgery can be a facilitator.  Surgery typically provides only 3/8? increase in length if you use traction as directed for 3 to 4 weeks afterwards.

While every doctor has some very successful cases, truly the patient gets 65% of the credit.  Assuming your weight remains stable, whatever you gain is permanently yours.

Have a restful weekend,

Dr. Reed,

thank you very much. do you have a special price if i get both length and girth surgeries at the same time?  Adalberto

December 4, 2011

Good morning Adalberto,

Thank you for your continued interest in what we do.

Doing length and girth at the same time is not advisable for so many reasons.

Just to name 2, first applying traction the next day after lengthening by doing the pulling out and down exercises would not be possible (too much pain and possible rupture of the incision line), second if your penis is going to be longer you will need appropriately longer strips to enhance girth.   If you have lengthening only you can do these exercises a day later and apply traction in about 5 days without any significant discomfort.  What a difference.

But I’ll mention 2 more reasons not to do both at the same time.  the penis does not appreciate too much surgery (think impaired healing) and next…  girth enhancement products such as AlloDerm, BellaDerm will only stretch so far with traction.  They are a dermal matrix essentually devoid of cells.  Your native penis is different.  That elongates by virtue of new cell growth in a longitudinal direction.  Stretching is only the inducement.

Anna our office manager will be happy to provide a discount for girth enhancement, if you have lengthening with us.   Do not proceed to girth enhancement until you are happy with your length result.

Have a restful Sunday,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

Junior in name only wants to expand further

November 17, 2011

I am looking for a surgeon who does both fat transfer and alloderm. This way they know the difference first hand and know the short/long term results. I’d like these questions answered please: Which procedure do you suggest? Do you use lasers? Is their erect length gained? Does the penis stay at erect length and not grow with fat transfer? Does the penis feel real and not too soft with fat transfer? What is the average of erect girth gained for each procedure? (I’ve seen 30% flacid and 5-10% erect) These are the questions I have. You are the only surgeon I have seen that does both procedures. I’d like to come to FL to have this done, assuming you are confident in positive results. I’m 3′ flacid length, 6.25′ erect length, 4.75′ flacid girth and 5′ erect girth. Please let me know your thoughts. I appreciate your time!  Junior

Good morning Junior,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  Yes, we are having a promotional month this November. Kindly call Anne for details.

Taking your thoughtful questions in the order posed…

Which procedure do you suggest?For girth AlloDerm is the most consistent performer (IMHO).  We very seldom do autologous fat transfer as a primary procedure, only if a patient insists and has me
in a half Nelson.

Do you use lasers?

No, not for this purpose (unnecessary)

Is their erect length gained?See attached.

Does the penis stay at erect length and not grow with fat transfer?

Sorry question not clear

Does the penis feel real and not too soft with fat transfer?

Yes generally, but I do not recommend fat transfer because of many potential complications.

What is the average of erect girth gained for each procedure? (I’ve seen 30% flaccid and 5-10% erect) 

Sorry, can’t be that specific

I’m 3.5 ” flaccid length, 6.37′ erect length, 4.8′ flaccid girth and 5.4′ erect girth.

Your stats are great now and you can rest on your laurels.  Please reconsider having surgery.

After reading the attached, if you believe I am the doctor for you, please initiate a consultation over the phone with our office  by sending us your name, address, and telephone number in an envelope along with a check for 250.  We’ll get started ASAP.  We’ll have a lot to talk  about.  Answers always beget more questions.

What girth method is permanent?

Saturday, November 5th, 2011

November 4, 2011

Dear Dr. Reed,

my friend went to dr so and so and after surery his penis was huge and he was happy after it the swelling went away he didnt see much differece. If i choos eyou and I have this problem would i be able to go back to you for free of no charge to correct iit?

Jason

Good afternoon Jason,

We have not seen AlloDerm girth enhancement dissipate once the final result is reached, that is after the bruise effect subsides.

I am of the opinion if you have not have previous girth enhancement procedures, from one “extra thick” AlloDerm you can expect about 3/4″ increase in circumference.  If you do not get this, yes I will insert an additional strip about 8 months later to permit the first strip to have sufficient capillary ingrowth.  Putting one complete strip on top of another is not a great idea in that there is a greater chance bacteria may seek refuge between the layers. 

Hope this is a fair response to your concern,

What is the total cost of penis lengthening and penis widening if they are performed together?

Armani

October 25, 2011

Good morning Armani,

Thank you for your interest in what we do. 

Our fees are posted on  our web-site.  Please do not have length and girth enhancement performed together as the incidence of complications is much higher, and length results are not impressive.

After reading the attached, if you believe I am the doctor for you, please initiate a consultation over the phone with our office by sending us your name, address, and telephone number in an envelope along with a check for 250.  We’ll get started ASAP.  We’ll have a lot to talk about.

Penile enlargement questions

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

August 11, 2011

Dear Dr. Reed,

I have a few questions for you. If you could answer them  with some good information for me.

1. My girth is 4 1/2 erect. That’s quite skinny. Can i get to a girth of 6 inches through your surgery ?

2. The alloderm once it’s in the penis…when it’s erect, how does the alloderm feel ? Is the penis still rock hard like my erections now ? Or is it kinda squishy and you loose a little of the firmness and hardness ?

3. Does the surgery affect the erectile angle of the penis ? Angle is actually extremely important in sex and having a good angle around 2 o clock position is a huge plus. Would the surgery affect the erections angle so it points lower and cant rise to where it once was ?

4. Do you have any erect before and after pictures ? I see ones on all the sites in flaccid but im interested in the erection as well.

5. Is there any way to determine how much penis is inside a man’s body for lengthening surgery ? What is the average amount inside and what is the largest amount you’ve seen ?

Thank you,

Charles M.

Dear Charles,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  Taking your thoughtful questions in the order posed…

1. My girth is 4 1/2 erect. That’s quite skinny. Can I get to a girth of 6 inches through your surgery ?Perhaps with 2 applications of AlloDerm

2. The alloderm once it’s in the penis…when it’s erect, how does the alloderm feel ?
Is the penis still rock hard like my erections now ? Or is it kinda squishy and you
loose a little of the firmness and hardness ?

Seems to feel by and large like normal penis. If your penis flaccid is not soft and squishing now, neither will
it be with AlloDerm, nor will it be that way erect.

3. Does the surgery affect the erectile angle of the penis ?No, for reasons we’ll discuss when you initiate a consultation over the phone.

4.  Angle is actually extremely important in sex and having a good angle around 2 o clock position
is a huge plus. Would the surgery affect the erections angle so it points lower and cant rise to where it once was ?
Do you have any erect before and after pictures?   I see ones on all the sites in flaccid but im interested in the erection as well.
When you become an established patient by initiating a consultation, I’ll show you a photo that will answer question concern
not shown on our web-site.

5. Is there any way to determine how much penis is inside a man’s body for lengthening surgery ?No.

6. What is the average amount inside and what is the largest amount you’ve seen ?3/8″ on average, nothing more impressive than that.

After reading the attached, if you believe I am the doctor for you, please initiate a consultation over the phone with our office by sending us your name, address, and telephone number n an envelope along with a check for 250.  We’ll get started ASAP.  We’ll have a lot to talk about.

How far apart should girth enhancement be staged after penile lengthening

Sunday, August 7th, 2011

August 7, 2011

Dear Dr. Reed,

The operations should be staged?  from what you are saying.   I was wondering how long apart

Celio

Good morning Celio,

Do not proceed with girth enhancement until you are happy with your length result which is 65% dependant upon your use of traction for a minimum of 8 hours every 24.

Typically a wait of 6 months, could be a year and a half.

Adding girth requires longer strips.  “Get-there-itis” brings a lot of  revision patients to my office from other primary locations.

Have a restful Sunday,

Putting in more sheets (of AlloDerm, BellaDerm) to make it thicker

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

April 15, 2011

Hi there i was wondering firstly the average gain in erect length i will be able to obtain with say for example a 1 inch increase in length. Seconddlt ive come across this surgical enter who claim to “put in 4-5 sheets compared to 1-3 sheets from other surgeon’s” Is this even safe and how many sheets would Dr so and so  use?

Roland

Good morning Roland,

Dr. so and so is no longer in practice.  We do not stack sheets as this is a blue print for disaster.  We use the thickest strips available, single layer.

Doctors who do stack, have a higher incidence of complications for many reasons.

However, if this is your goal, for sure someone will accede to your request.

Best wishes,

Had autologous fat transfer to penis with some loss, now seeks AlloDerm

Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

April 1, 2011

I’ve had the girth enhancement fat transfer done in the 90′s. I would just like a “touch up” to even out after weight loss. Can you help me with this? If so, what would the cost be?

Thanks
 Richard

Good afternoon Richard,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  Yes, can be
done assuming some essential conditions such as available fat stores
and laxity of penile skin.  Our fee: 4000.

After reading the attached, if you believe I am the doctor
for you, please initiate a consultation over the phone with our office
by sending us your name, address, and telephone number

Penile Girth Enhancement, effect on sensation, and many questions

Saturday, March 26th, 2011

March 26, 2011

Hi Dr. Reed, I saw your website online and may be interested in surgery. I have a few questions and concerns first however. Do the widening procedures “cover up” the nerves responsible for ejaculation with fat or Alloderm? Or will these nerves stay “on top” of the new material? I already have a harder time than most ejaculating so any decrease in sensation that might come as a result of the nerves being harder to stimulate absolutely can’t happen. (The main reason I am considering surgery is for better contact and thus easier stimulation during intercourse.) Is one widening procedure better than the other in terms of keeping (or if possible improving) sensation? How common is loss of sensation with both procedures? With the Alloderm or Belladerm, will it feel like there is a “barrier” during sex or will it just feel like part of my penis?
Also, is your glanular enhancement surgery permanent or will I need touch ups?
I noticed on your website that you say to expect 3/4 inch in gains with the Alloderm widening procedure. Is this flaccid or erect? If it is flaccid, what erect gains can I expect? Thanks for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.    Geoff

Good morning Geoff,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

Happy to answer some starter questions for you.

Please be mindful that no surgeon can make a promise of specific performance and that every operation, even if performed by an experienced surgeon, has the potential for complications. Please review our informed consents posted on our web-site.

Do the widening procedures “cover up” the nerves responsible for ejaculation with fat or AlloDerm? Or will these nerves stay “on top” of the new material?  I already have a harder time than most ejaculating so any decrease in sensation that might come as a result of the nerves being harder to stimulate absolutely can’t happen.  (The main reason I am considering surgery is for better contact and thus easier stimulation during intercourse.)

There is a medication that is helpful to reduce ejaculatory latency time and works in over 80% of my patients. You may wish also to see urologist/neurologist to do some nerve conduction studies. Conceivably increased frictional contact could be helpful.  There are also postural remedies as well.

Is one widening procedure better than the other in terms of keeping (or if possible improving) sensation?

Doubtful as widening procedures are not touted to predictably enhanced sensation.

How common is loss of sensation with both procedures?

Surprisingly, I have not had any patient complain about loss of sensation but conceivably this could occur.

With the AlloDerm or BellaDerm, will it feel like there is a “barrier” during sex or will it just feel like part of my penis?

Based on what patients have said, I would think the latter.

Also, is your glanular enhancement surgery permanent or will I need touch ups?

Please review our web-site as this question is answered there.

I noticed on your web-site that you say to expect 3/4 inch gains with the AlloDerm widening procedure. Is this flaccid or erect?  If it is flaccid, what erect gains can I expect?

The web-site says “about 3/4 inch increase with AlloDerm.”  This is in the flaccid state and for circumference not diameter.  Yes, your erections will also be fuller, but exactly how much cannot be specified.

As always, answers beget more questions and if there is further interest please initiate a consultation by sending us your name, address, and phone number in an envelope along with a check for 250. This is a one time charge which also provides for further discussion and examination at the office, should you wish.

Sincerely,
