My question is regarding photos of a genetic male’s penis/scrotum with testicular implants on page
http://www.srsmiami.com/images/test-3.jpgI’ve been considering having lower surgery with Dr Reed for a long time, and this person’s claims could possibly be in attempt to discredit Dr Reed for work he’s actually done.  He’s doing this for reasons unknown, but he’s giving false hopes to trans men who have dysphoria surrounding their genitals and I don’t thin kit’s right.November 25, 2010

I belong to a message forum for transgender men and there is a person on that message board who is sending these pictures around and claims that the pictures are of his own surgically created penis and that the surgery was performed an intersex specialist named “Dr W”, that the penis in the photos was surgically constructed from something called “penile streak” tissue that he was born with and was attached somewhere in his abdomen.  The problem is, that I recognized the photos from my many visits to Dr Reed’s website, and I called him on his lie.

This person also states that the testes used in the photo were also his internal testes (he claims to be intersex which is irrelevant but may or may not be the case), and were dropped down into a sack created from his genetic labia. Basically he’s sating that these photos are a phalloplasty but rather than using external skin, the skin was taken from this “penile streak” he had growing inside of him which is why he’s claiming that it looks so natural.

He’s also saying that the photos of this penis on your website are not Dr. Reed’s work, and I believe that to be false since Dr Reed credits another affiliated surgeon in some of the other photos but not the ones in question.

I’m not asking for patient information, only to know whether Dr Reed performed the surgery in the photo above, that it was a cis gendered genetic male and if the testicular implants were silicone.

Thank you for any help that you can provide.

Good afternoon Jason,

How angry would you be at a man who says you are made of green cheese. 

I for one would not waste a second contending with such as individual.

The photos your link brings up is quite the same as http://srsmiami.com/photography-f2m.html example 9/1-2.   I can assure you, this is my patient and is cisgendered or a genetic male, and that the implants are of soft silicone.

Hope this is of help, and Happy Thanksgiving,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

My left testicle never descended. I need to have it removed and replaced. I am concerned about pain during sex afterwards. What is the cost? I will pay cash. How long will it take and what is the recovery?

Good morning John

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  Our comprehensive fee is 5,500.  We recommend 2 days of bed rest and you could return to an office environment in 4 to 5 days after the procedure.

As I am sure you know the incidence of malignant degeneration of a cryptorchid or undescended testis is 40 times normal.  Have you have any serum markers drawn and where is the testis located, palpable or well above the inguinal ligament?

Testicular enhancement is becoming one of our most popular procedures, because the patient satisfaction rate is high and the results are aesthetically pleasing.

We no longer do caps but rather install soft ovoid prostheses in front of your existing testes to reduce any likelihood of impairment to your sperm production.  If there is any concern about this, please have a seminal analysis done prior to surgery.

If you are over 40, please call the office before scheduling surgery, as a letter of medical clearance will most likely be needed.

Candidates who wish to secure their reservations with our facilities are required to have minimally letters of clearance if needed and a phone consultation  with a favorable response to questions of concern.  Assuming this, you will be given the nod to send
in a 50% deposit which is non-refundable.

No aspirin or aspirin products, blood thinners such as Plavix, Coumadin, no anti-inflammatory drugs such as Motrin, Advil, Alleve, or Cox 2 inhibitors such as Celebrex or Vioxx for a week before surgery.  No Vitamin E or excessive alcohol or spices for a week before surgery as this may promote bruising.  Bruising can be reduced (many believe) with Bromelain 500 mg 1 twice a day, Arnica montana dose 30C (take 4 small tablets sublingually, 4 times a day), vitamin C 500 mg (3 times a day) starting 1 week before
surgery.   Please give us a call and we’ll talk further.

Sincerely yours,
