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.

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,
Harold M. Reed, M.D.
