Hello. I had enhancement phalloplasty in 1997 and had a good result, but over the years the fat has all dissolved away, leaving me with my pre-surgery girth. I am interested in having another procedure to increase my penile girth. Length is not so much of a problem for me. I have read about alloderm. I have also read about procedures where the corpus cavernosum is actually incised to help increase girth. I had fat transfer during my initial surgery. I am not opposed to doing it again, but the only concern I have is that after the surgery my penis was so large it made it difficult for me to wear normal clothing. I would be most interested in a procedure that would allow my penis to be very large when erect, and a more normal size when flaccid, if such a procedure exists. I am also interested to learn about the costs. Thanks.

Good morning Calvin,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

We have been aware of autologous fat transfer since the early 90′s and our experience has been similar to yours, plus the occasional formation of fibro-fatty nodules. Patients from other doctors have reported
the same.

I think AlloDerm, after 10 years of use, is perhaps the best option for girth enhancement. The results are enduring. We are aware of procedures to incise the tunica albuginea, the covering or casing of the corpus cavernosa to enlarge the penis, and many have met with complications especially erectile impairment. My recommendation is to stay away from this procedure. Sometimes things that look good on the drawing table don’t pan out.

Any procedure that enhances erect girth will correspondingly increase your flaccid girth.  Good news for most men.

With kindest regards,

I am a victim of a botched Penile Enhancement surgery. Does Dr Reed perform Penile Reconstructive Surgery? Will provide more info when Dr Reed responds.

Good afternoon Bennett,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

Hardly a few days go by, that I do not hear  a “tale of woe” similar to yours.

The most common cause is “get-there-itis” with too much simultaneous surgery. I could show you some photos, but you might find them too gruesome.

The attached is what we send to prospective patients, but could be of more than passing interest.

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.

Cordially,

Which procedure do you recommend for girth enhancement? Which one feels the most like pre op flesh?  Would girth enhancement alone prevent the penis from shrinking and do you gain any length from the girth procedure?  Do you use any implants in the lengthening procedure to prevent retraction?  

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,

Hi Dr Reed i have been looking at some of the excellent work you do there ,and what i have seen has made me want to come to you ,if you can help me that is ? i am a 37 year old from australia I had a circumcision about 2 month`s  ago, the doctor that did it is ment to have 30 year`s exp of doing it under his belt , so i thought that i would be in good hand`s , the day after the surgery i was looking at the job he did ,as i was i noticed how everything looked uneven , 3
weeks later i went back to see the doctor as the swelling on one side had not gone down he said it looks fine and that the skin would shrink back down ,and i was worryed about the way it was healing with the skin bulging over on each side he did`nt put a pressure bandidge on it which a friend of myn found strange , and that it looks almost like the top of a castel as i think they used a thick grade stitches .On the left side of the shaft from the head to the scar line it is
12 mm and on the right is 32 mm from head to scar line and thats how it was when i first looked at it and thats how it stayed and the scar is not at all straight far from it,it has heald up looking ugly.  On the left side of the shaft
the skin did`nt fuse correctly and it overlap`s and it also overlap`s on the right  ,i was informed it took 15 minutes for the surgery and then they must have stapled me up ,sure look`s like it i think a trainee did it myself the 3 blind
mice, do you think there is a way i can make them pay for it to be fixed ? I would like to know a little more about the girth enhancement tech you do i have read some of whats on your web site and mynewsize.com i have tryed to enhance my girth for year`s trying all sort`s of stuff nothing has so far worked pills, rubs ,ointments, everything but surgery i like what i have seen on here and of all the was it can be done which do you think is best and the one you
would have done if you was going to do it yourself?also would it be better to get that done at the same time as a revision and could you maybe give me a price on that please sir . can you help me Dr Reed or do you know of someone
in australia? i look forward to hearing from you thank you Dr Reed i have attached a few photo`s yours truely

Good morning Lionel,

Please read the letter we send to prospective patients and a personal comment will follow…

Thank you for your interest in what we do. Yes, we do men in your age group every week.

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

We do ask that you stay for one, ideally 2 days at the Baltic Hotel (advanced tourist class) or Daddy’s O’s (more posh) and I will see you there daily.

You could return to an office environment in about 4 days after circumcision. Our 2 layered wrap of soft conforming gauze and Coban will provide comfort and reduce swelling.

We have done sons of physicians, medical students and residents, 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 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”)

Be assured we will show you every courtesy,

Sincerely,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

OK Lionel, here’s my take and I have a professional responsibility not to be
castigating..

Could have been a lot better. Aside from every critique you mention, of which I would agree, widely placed sutures lead to a lot of puckering which is evident on some of your photos.

Circumcisions are traditionally not well paid for at least in the United States, because conventional wisdom (wrong) is a urologist could run through this procedure in 15 minutes.

When I was a resident, I saw a urologist ask a nurse in the operating room with a prominent clock on the wall…”What time is it.” and the nurse said with some askance “Why doctor it is 8:15.”. Fifteen minutes later he completed the circumcision and the urologist said again, “nurse, what time is it, and she dutifully looked at the clock and complied, “why doctor it is 8:30.” He then said, “Do you mean I just did a circumcision in 15 minutes?” When I look down at the poor patient I thought to myself, it looked like it had been done in 15 minutes.

Lionel, in our practice it takes about 55 minutes. Penile skin does not come cheap.

The unevenness may resolve only somewhat as the swelling subsides, but I would be hard pressed to say this will self-correct. Also there is an area where the penile skin is inverted.

Suggestion, wait a good 3 to 4 months after your circumcision for everything to heal as well as it is going to. If continued improvement is slowly noted, wait even longer, then most likely you will come to revision. We do not maintain a directory of a handful of urologists in Australia who are cosmetically minded (there must be some).  Or see me. In fact we see Australians here quite regularly,

Lastly, I would like permission to post some of your photos on our web-site without mention of your name.

Every best wish,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

Hello Doctor I was wondering if you could help me with this question.  After penis lengthening surgery when weights are required for 8 hours a day, how is this done?  Does that mean that the patient would stand with weights on his penis for 8 hours daily?
 
Thanks
 

July 31, 2010

Good afternoon Bernie,

When we think of weights, more generally we are speaking of  traction which should be started a day after surgery simply with manual extension for 2 minutes (with you lying down) up towards the ceiling for two minutes and down (towards your feet) for two minutes, a least 8 times a day.  Give your penis a chance to accommodate.  You will notice towards the end of the two minute interval your penis is longer.  Also immediately following surgery, your penis has been wrapped, extended outwards, like in a cervical collar.  This helps too.

After 5 days the wrap is removed and slowly you will progress into serious traction graduating up to 8 pounds if your doctor feels your diameter is capable of that much tension without injury.

I could talk for many minutes about how traction should be and not be applied.

You can accomplish a good deal of the minimum 8 hours a day needed while on bed rest.

Sorry the information is vague, because without knowing you, or having a doctor-patient relationship with you, I cannot go into specifics, but I am available for consultation over the phone if you wish.

Our fee is 250 and this is a one time charge, thus there is no charge for your first visit at the office, excluding any lab work which may be needed.

Sincerely,

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
http://www.penisdoctor.com/images/larrybuff2.jpg
(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

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.

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,

I believe I have some infertility problems associated with a varicose vein on my scrotum. I was also interested in lengthening at the same time. Do you perform this operation?  Can you do both at the same time? And what are the prices and payment options?   Thank you.

Donald

Good afternoon Donald,

A varicose vein on your scrotum would not produce infertility but a varicocele, (similar to many varicose veins) surrounding your spermatic cord could.

Please review the attached on phalloplasty and penile enlargement, length and girth.

In that a well performed varicocelectomy may result in some discomfort after surgery and lead you to procrastinate on early use of traction, I would suggest you have the more important operation for you done first.

Best wishes,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

Just a quick question regarding traction following surgery.  What would be the minimum period of time that you would reccommend using traction in order to avoid retraction.  I would be happy with the immediate gains but would not want to loose them!.  I know that you suggest 8 hrs per day.  If this was done for a month for example would this period of time be sufficent to hang onto surgery gains?

Doug

October 14, 2009

Good morning Doug,

Right on.  Yes, I would think if you apply traction as we recommend for 4 to 6 weeks, you will certainly maintain what was accomplished in the operating room.  An incision does not regain full tensile strength for 6 weeks.

But for 3/8″, and never to use traction again, is it worth it?

Once that is accomplished, you could resume full time traction whenever you wish, and you will not have lost anything.

All the best,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.
