I am thinking about PE surgery and wanted to know the difference between alloderm and belladerm.  What are the differences between the two and which one gives a superior results as far as girth enhancement?

After girth enhancement surgery, with either alloderm or belladerm, can a second girth procedure be done?

How long after lengthening surgery can you start to stretch with thegrip?

Any thoughts on the Dr. E’s silicone implant and the late Dr. Perovic’s bio-scaffold?

How was it possible the patient in example#2 was able to get such a great girth enhancement?

Are you going to post some before and after pictures of patients with glans enhancements?

You are probably aware of the forum, mynewsize.com/forum and the owner/moderator, C. H, had trouble with his 2nd girth surgery. Good or bad, your name is not mentioned all that much on that forum.

Can the $250 consultation fee be applied towards surgery?

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely
Carl

Good morning Carl,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

As consultation (by us) is an independent event, so we do not  co-mingle or reapply fees.  Nor do we try to sell.  We have told many a well hung man he can rest on his laurels and no surgery is needed.

Taking your thoughtful questions in  the order posed…

What are the differences between the two and which one gives a superior results as far as girth enhancement?Personally I do not see any difference in the ultimate result.  AlloDerm comes from a deceased donor, BellaDerm from a live donor (usually tummy tucks with massive amounts of skin removed).  The same corporation that sells BellaDerm also sell deceased donor products as well.

The maximal thicknesses are comparable, but BellaDerm comes in 20% lager widths, so when patients are buying volume and the doctor is charging the same amount for either, BellaDerm provides more volume for the same money.

After girth enhancement surgery, with either AlloDerm or BellaDerm, can a second girth procedure be done?Yes, but I think you’ll be happy enough with one application that you should not have any more girth enhancement surgery.

How long after lengthening surgery can you start to stretch with The Grip?We have our patients doing penis pulling exercises (manually) the day after surgery and it is not painful.  The Grip could be applied about 5 to 6 days after surgery (the zero day).

Any thoughts on the Dr. E’s silicone implant and the late Dr. Perovic’s bio-scaffold?Dr. E claims good experience with the product.  Our early experience with “crescentic” molds despite use of permanent mltiple Prolene sutures showed that as the spermatic cord occasionally lifts the testicle which is a normal thermo-regulatory mechanism, the capsule which tended to fixate to the scrotal wall separated from the testis and some patients reported “empty cup”.  We also did seminal analyses before and after cups and were really taken aback when they dropped to near infertile levels. 

Dr. Perovic my dear recently departed friend introduced the scaffold also pioneered by Dr. Kim from Korea.
At first they were impregnated with tissue culture cells of the implanted patient to permit more inward cell growth.

Dr. Atala noted research worker on tissue engineering and past president of the AUA has said if a scaffold is one cm or less in thickness, prior implantation of tissue culture cells growth is not needed.  Ingrowth of cells follows blood supply and capillaries will grow into a one cm. matrix without difficulty.

As for the results, I would suggest you speak to patients who have had this done.  I personally never used this product because we had excellent success with AlloDerm. 

How was it possible the patient in example #2 was able to get such a great girth enhancement?Example #2 had 3 layers of AlloDerm put in over 1 1/2 years.  We don’t recommend that, but this was his insistent wish.

Are you going to post some before and after pictures of patients with glans enhancements?

Yes, when we have some mature results.

You are probably aware of the forum, mynewsize.com/forum and the  owner/moderator, C. H, had trouble with his 2nd girth surgery. Good or bad, your name is not mentioned all that much on that forum.

Not aware.

Best wishes,

Hi Dr. Reed,

I found this email address on www.penisdoctor.com, I am hoping to arrange a consultation regarding a variety of things!

First of all, a few years ago I received silicone injections – 60cc in my scrotum and 10/20cc in my penis.I love the sensation of having a foreskin ( from the silicone in my penis shaft, I was circumcised as a kid), I love the size and the way it feels, however, I am dissatisfied with its appearance. My penis shaft is lumpy, there is a small area that looks inflamed, it looks inflated when flaccid rather than dangling down like a normal penis,

Therefore I am looking to reverse the silicone procedure, and would like to review other augmentation methods.

I am not sure if I am able to have everything done at once or whether it would have to be done in stages, so please provide me a breakdown of costs, and what you would do for the following:

1. removal of silicone
2. foreskin restoration (do you do this surgery?)
3 penile lengthening and augmentation
           (there seems to be lots of techniques in AlloDerm, scaffolding, fat transfer etc – what’s the difference in using each of these )
4. glanular enhancement
5. penis lengthening
            (is there a way to disguise/minimise the scars)
6. testicular enlargement

I have part-time work in adult entertainment, which I love to do. Therefore I want to go as long, and wide (within sensible limitations) as possible.

Ideally I would love to have something close to the porn star Max Delong as seen here (forgive me for the pornographic nature of the content)

Also I am pleasantly impressed with one of your after-pictures of one of your patients

(exmple #2: 2/1 from page http://www.penisdoctor.com/photo-penis-enlargement.htm#1)

Also, are there any techniques (frequent penis pumping, jez extender, or exercises) that you recommend would compliment the surgery?

I’ve noticed that I have seen any ‘new’ advances in cosmetic surgery to the penis – are there any new techniques that I should consider waiting for?

Many thanks,

Ted

When considering a product for penile girth enhancemnt or augmentation phalloplasty, consider BellaDerm and the MTF mission statement.  MTF, Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, is a not-for-profit corporation.

The Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation is a non-profit service

organization dedicated to providing quality tissue through a

commitment to excellence in education, research, recovery and care

for recipients, donors and their families.

No longer in the shadows of medical practice and organ

transplantation, tissue banking and tissue transplantation are coming

of age. Today, over 900,000 Americans receive tissue transplants

each year. The Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, known as MTF,

is in the forefront of providing these life saving and life-enhancing

tissues. MTF was founded in 1987 by surgeons. It is a non-profit

national consortium of academic medical institutions and organ and

tissue recovery organizations across the country that recovers,

processes and distributes donated human tissue for use in transplant

surgery and research. MTF is headquartered in Edison, New Jersey,

with additional facilities located in Pennsylvania, California, Minnesota

and Germany, with recovery sites operated by MTF in Wisconsin,

California, Illinois and New York.

A leader in the tissue banking community, MTF’s work touches the

lives of many and, throughout its history, MTF has made a significant

mark on the tissue banking world. MTF has become the number one

tissue bank in the nation and is one of the largest providers of

allografts in the world, according to the American Association of Tissue

Banks (AATB). MTF provides the largest assortment of allografts

available for transplantation – more than 650 different configurations

of tissue including bone, skin and heart valves. Thanks to the

generosity of donors and their families, MTF tissue is used to enhance

the lives of patients in many ways – to help patients walk again, or

recover from debilitating and painful spinal conditions, or to salvage

limbs that might have been amputated due to cancers, to repair

complex traumatic abdominal wall injuries, reconstruct facial defects

such as cleft palate, or in breast reconstruction following mastectomy

– to name just a few.

BellaDerm for penile girth enahncement is about implanting “like into like.”

Michael Kawas, President of MTF’s skin division, notes that plastic surgeons typically rely on other materials, some of them from animals (like pigs) and some of them are synthetic. “Now they will have an option to use human skin, which provides a more natural choice. We have gotten a lot of comments about the desirability of implanting “like into like” – in other words, implanting tissue from one human into another. It seems to be preferable to using animal products or synthetic materials ”

“We have a history of positive clinical outcomes using other MTF tissue”, noted Dr. Philip Bonanno, Director of the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery and Medicine at Northern Westchester Hospital. “Thus we’re comfortable using BellaDerm as a natural human dermal graft for support and reinforcement in many of our procedures.”

Donation of skin for BellaDerm is restricted to living donors who have given specific consent for their skin to be used for these types of procedures. To assure the utmost safety and quality, MTF has the highest standards for tissue donation. Living skin donations are held to the same high standards for acceptance and processing as skin which is recovered from deceased donors.

“It is very important for us to have confidence in the providers of all materials we use” continues Dr. Bonanno, “and MTF’s high standards exemplifies their commitment to providing only the best tissue possible for my patients.”

MTF is a non-profit service organization that has been dedicated to providing high quality tissue to health care providers for over 20 years. Since its founding by surgeons in 1987, MTF has received tissue from more than 74,000 donors and has provided more than 3.5 million tissue grafts for transplantation.

in our BellaDerm patients. 

BellaDerm, the first human dermal tissue graft offered specifically for facial and body contouring procedures, is being introduced today by MTF, the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, the country’s leading non-profit tissue bank.

BellaDerm is a unique acellular matrix, derived from donated human allograft skin. The new tissue has properties that are very appealing to plastic surgeons. In addition to coming from human donors, it provides excellent handling characteristics and the added benefit of being in ready-to-use form. It is easily accessible and ready for surgeon selection at all times. Unlike some other dermal tissues, it does not require refrigeration.

Belladerm provides supplemental support in areas of weakness. It has been used by plastic surgeons to address naturally occurring defects which may be found in areas such as the breast, lips, and face.

Now successful results are being realized in penile girth enhancement.

Please visit the BellaDerm web-site http://www.belladerm.org/  MTF (Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation) the corporate entity is a non-profit organization.

Many patients have been asking for photographic examples of BellaDerm for penile girth enhancement.  We posted some new photos on our web-site. 

http://penisdoctor.com/photo-penis-enlargement.htm  

Hope you like what you see.

BellaDerm and AlloDerm are similar, and the choice is made by the patient.  Fees are the same for both.
