TOPIC: Dr. Rian maercks experiances?

Jeph123 wrote: Yes I do have experience with Dr. Maercks. He performed Phalloplasty on me in June, 2016. And let me tell you a few things. First, he literally gave me the ideal Erect and flacciid penis both in length and Girth from a woman's perspective. My fianc' can't even fit her hand around it and has screaming orgasms now. He increases the length by going BEHIND your penis and using the fat transfer technique to push it forward AND, the guy is such a perfectionist he makes your scrodum bigger too to match the new size of your penis do everything is balanced. I spent about 30-40hours researching Phalloplasty before I decided on the METHOD (silicone, implant, dermal fat transfer). Don't ruin your life-the ONLY satisfactory way to do this is a dermal fat transfer. Next, comes down to selecting WHICH plastic surgeon to do it. After spending another 20 hours researching surgeons, I chose Dr. Maercks for several reasons. First, he went to Duke University so he''s obviously smart. Second, if you watch his videos on realself you get to the point where it becomes clear this guy is not only very smart, he has a real passion for what he does. Third, since the KEY to Phalloplasty is to give you the most perfect penis possible.....symmetry of the way your penis looks is critical so -- that being said --- look at Dr. Maercks Chroniofacial experience which proved to me that if he can reconstruct someone's face, he can make my penis not only be big, but symmetrically beautiful. I already told Dr. Maercks I would be a telephone reference for him and have no problem sending before after photos. Dr. Maercks changed my life and the change is PERANENT since a stem cell dermal fat transfer of your own fat means the change is lasting. Wherever you're located in the US, go to this doctor...you'll get the result your looking for. -Jeff

LOL

One of the things doctors and their office assistants do not understand is how sophisticated people are on this board when it comes to 'word of mouth' online. There are people here who have spent hundreds of hours of their time on this board or researching in general. I do not mean disrespect to the poster above, but I agree with you hoddle10. Posts like the above can only backfire because they insult the intelligence and the critical thinking skills of the people that have given so much of their time here. You see these posts on sites like realself all the time. A simple language analysis (without being a philologist) shows the same structure of the reviews, the same vocabulary used, the same conclusions reached about how brilliant the doctor is and how the experience was life changing. Sometimes even the same bad grammar which is so revealing.

Unfortunately, some doctors and their assistants are becoming increasingly sophisticated and much more deceitful using word of mouth online in a way that is not easy to identify as false. These are the ones that can cause real harm.

I am Dr. Maercks, the doctor this thread refers to. I have been made aware of these threads by several patients and can confirm for you that Jeph123 is indeed a real and very satisfied patient that I had recently had email communication from and is interested in helping others learn of my services. I would like to correct a point in Jeph123's post and that is that the term "dermal fat graft" does not apply to what I do. My procedure involves micro fat grafting ie lipoaspirate that is carefully harvested through a canula with very small holes and minimal processing. A dermal fat graft refers to taking a solid piece of dermis (the deep layer of the skin) along with subcutaneous fat in an en bloc manner. this has been done by many docs in the past with nearly universal disasterous results. It is perhaps a bit better than an alloderm procedure but never looks great and can frequently lead to fat Necrosis, calcification and unfavorable scarring. About twenty years ago a plastic surgeon named Bill Little popularized dermal fat grafting with facelifts but horrific results and complications made him abandone this in the face as well. Fat grafting is an incredibly powerful tool but must be performed carefully to avoid complications and deliver long term results. I have had the pleasure of 3+ year follow up with many of my patients and they remain satisfied with their enduring results. I recently performed a secondary fat grafting on a patient from two years ago because he was interested in more size but was very satisfied with his gains only wanting more. It is my philosophy to keep things conservative with Phalloplasty as most techniques can have horrific consequences. I am very much against PMMA and all product implantation including alloderm etc. I do perform minimally invasive ligament transection, but rarely because I think the results are so good without it. I comment more on this in a post that I just wrote in the lengthening section. I will respond to the posts that mention my name and am happy to be a resource in general to the members of this board. I will certainly answer all questions directed at me. Please be assured that I hold ethics as a crucial part of my practices and that there is nothing false or coming directly from my practice in Jeph123's post.

All the best,

Rian A. Maercks M.D.
