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

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,

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.

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,

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.

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,

I would like to discuss Price & payments. styles of circumcision. possible shaft enlargement.

Jesse

Good afternoon Jesse,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  Our fees are posted on our web-site and you must be pre-paid before surgery.  Your penis is one of the most important cosmetic and functional features of your body.

We have performed over 6000 cosmetic circumcisions and revisions in the past 35 years and usually do several cases every week.

We have done sons of physicians, brothers, religious circumcisions,
men who have not seen the heads of their penis for 20 years! This
is your circumcision and we do it the way you want with respect
to 4 parameters.
 
Please don’t be like the patient who writes: “Dr. Reed I just got circumcised
(elsewhere) two days ago, and my result was not what i expected. I was
wondering when i recover can i get a consultation with you.” Photos sent
and received (unspoken comment “disaster zone”)

Generally speaking the penis does not appreciate simultaneous surgery with a few exceptions.

With AlloDerm, we can say quite conservatively you can anticipate a 3/4″ gain in circumference if you have not already had penile girth enhancement which is permanent as far as we know having followed patients for 8 years or so who have had AlloDerm. 
 
Most patients will do a lot better than that.   AlloDerm patients must be on strict bed rest with the exception of getting up to use the commode or eating in their room for 4 days.  Surgery is the zero day, and we certainly recommend you stay at the Baltic Hotel (877 622 5842) so I can see you daily as your penis will continue to swell for several days, and your dressing will be replaced often to accommodate a larger sized penis.  Mention my name for a discount.

AlloDerm is like particle board, when immersed in body fluids, it swells and swells for several days.  This spreading of the collagen fibers is helpful to permit ingrowth of a capillary bed and new cells of your own making.
 
Whereas AlloDerm comes from a cadaver, BellaDerm comes from a live donor.  There are many subtle differences which require telephone explanation.  I have not seen any communicable disease emerge with either product.  AlloDerm is packaged dry and swells like particle board.  BellaDerm is pre-packaged in solution and what you see after surgery is more or less what you get.

Early mobilization  is the great enemy of good graft take.   Again plan on staying in your room, stocking up on food or sending out for food.  Good Italian, Greek and Chinese restaurants abound with delivery service only a telephone call away..  I’ve have been known to go shopping for some patients at Publix.  You won’t starve.

If you have AlloDerm surgery on Tuesday, you could be back in an office environment on the following Monday.  If you do manual labor you may wish to wait a good week after surgery and avoid trauma to your genitals.

Be assured we will show you every courtesy,
 
All the best,

Also I have had a kidney transplant.  Is it safe to do this surgery?

And finally do men (after having this surgery) still have sensitivity?

Thanks, Benton

January 25, 2011

Good afternoon Benton,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  If you don’t need this operation my suggestion is not to have it done, although we did elective surgery on a patient who had a cardiac transplant and is a professional golfer.

Best to confer with your transplant team.

Sensitivity is maintained, however my informed consent reads there’s always a possibility.

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.

Please keep in mind…  April is a promotional offer month if you stay at the Baltic Hotel (advanced tourist class, 877-622-5842).  Ask for Christina and mention my name.

Cordially,

Good afternoon Lemuel,

Thank you for your continued interest in what we do.

If the tissues are well healed enough we probably could do BellaDerm at the same time.  Your will need to stay here for a good week after surgery so I can follow you on a daily basis.

We will use your photos after we do the revision.  Thank you for that.

Sincerely,

Can any type of girth procedure be done together with lengthening?
Would I be able to drive home 3 days after the procedure (10 hr drive)?   Calvin

September 12, 2010

Good morning Calvin,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

Either AlloDerm or BellaDerm would be acceptable and in our hands produce similar results.  No sir, do no combine length and girth enhancement as the results for length are lackluster at best and often disastrous.  We have patients coming to our office every month who have had “get-there-itis” and rue the day.   You cannot drive home or go to the mall after the procedure.  Right to bed at a nearby motel and bed rest for 4 days.  Yes, sir. 

You want a beautiful result or do you want your penis to have more wrinkles than a stewed prune?

Girth enhancement will not prevent the penis from flaccid contracture as the material is soft (like a wet chamois).

We tried implants for length about 12 years or so ago, and desisted because of the overly high incidence of extrusion of the silicone strips.  We have also heard repeatedly that other physician(s) who employ this technique are (in the here and now) having patients with similar experiences.

Not all that glitters is gold.

Have a restful Sunday,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

Thank you,  Harnon

September 12, 2010

Good morning Harnon,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

The grafts may, (may) reabsorb by about 10% but this is more than offset by replacement with cells of your own making. Please expect some added girth from the bruise effect which will subside, but afterwards the wind up is you should have a noticeable difference in girth.

Please avoid any possibility for genital trauma or straddle injury for a good 6 to 7 weeks. Yes, if caution is exercised you could return to work earlier, perhaps 2 weeks after surgery.
