It’s taken roughly 3 surgeries. The biggest thing that I don’t think most realize is that you don’t want to do anything that would cause additional trauma to the tissue most of the reconstructive Urologist at first were trying Xiaflex but that has been counterproductive it creates additional scar tissue and retraction and destroys the tissue because it’s not really Peyronie’s and it’s not necessarily being injected into the correct spots. It requires scar Revision surgery and the best analogy that I can give is that a burn victim where it must sometimes be done in a multi stage procedure Please [Log in](https://www.j4.phalloboards.info/login.html?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuajQucGhhbGxvYm9hcmRzLmluZm8vZ2VuZXJhbC1mb3J1bS9nZW5lcmFsLWRpc2N1c3Npb24vMTAxNTI5OTgtbXktZXhwZXJpZW5jZS13aXRoLXRoZS1wZW51bWEtaW1wbGFudC1hbmQtdGhlbi1yZW1vdmFsLmh0bWw/bWFya2Rvd249MSZzdGFydD0xMzU=) or [Create an account](https://www.j4.phalloboards.info/register.html) to join the conversation. ## Re: My experience with the Penuma implant and then removal 4 years 4 months ago [\#1308706871](#1308706871) - **[Qtip](https://www.j4.phalloboards.info/general-forum/user/2001505-qtip.html "View Qtip's Profile")** - [![Qtip's Avatar](https://www.j4.phalloboards.info/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](https://www.j4.phalloboards.info/general-forum/user/2001505-qtip.html "View Qtip's Profile") - [ Offline](https://www.j4.phalloboards.info/general-forum/user/2001505-qtip.html) - General - ![General](https://www.j4.phalloboards.info/media/kunena/ranks/rank1.gif) - Posts: 91 - Thanks: 6 - [ ](https://www.j4.phalloboards.info/pms.html?task=new&recip=2001505) Yes additional surgeries don’t usually help.

Please help! Tired of being in pain. I'll be as supportive as I can but virtually most of those qualified (due to their experience of removing so many) are going to be on the pricey end. I'll list the four best options in order of what I believe their "number of removals" likely are (based on a guestimate on my part). Dr. Solomon (Philadelphia & Beverly Hills) Dr. Carney (Atlanta) Dr. Alter (Beverly Hills) Dr. Gelman (Somewhere in Southern California) Dr. Solomon's almost certainly the most experienced with penuma removal (he even has a Q&A on the removal here: [ www.phalloboards.info/forum/dr-solomon-a...educational-q-a.html](https://www.phalloboards.info/forum/dr-solomon-ask-me-questions-here/10153074-dr-solomon-s-monthly-educational-q-a.html) ). Both Dr. Carney and Dr. Alter are Urologists with plenty of experience in reconstruction / repair. Dr. Gelman might be the most cost-effective because I believe he's in "academic medicine," as he put it, so there is probably less profit-margin there vs a popular Plastic Surgery Clinic. Good luck, and if you still have pain, get a consultation right away. Some may still offer virtual consultations stemming from covid-lockdown days.

Not to get off topic, but did Dr. Elist suggest or confirm to you that the implant would or could aid in the correction of your Peyronie's disease? If yes, that's horrific.

I had a consultation there about 13 years ago, and I had the same fast food treatment - literally whisking me away from one consultation room to the other, very informal and unprofessional, then trying to set my schedule date THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND. **Fortunately,** I could not afford the procedure at the time and was there just to learn more. Realizing he couldn't book me, that's when Dr. Elist slowed down and put on his "charming, I really care about what I do" facade in hopes that I'd eventually return. Just a year and a half later I created the original PhalloBoards ([ phalloplasty.proboards.com](http://phalloplasty.proboards.com) ) after having uncovered his shenanigans on a separate (and now defunct) penis enlargement forum. In other words, it was his dishonesty (and to some extent, the dishonesty of the industry at that time) that lead to the creation of this platform.
