If you need any advice or like to compare note's feel free to PM me and we can chat more

EL length is at 3.5... I'm going to to wait 4 weeks for it to heal from this traumatic experience before I start stretching and Hanging. I bought a pump as well .

Here is a video of Dr. Gelman removing the largest scrotum in the world off a patient named Wesley Warren. There was no doctor that could help him and he found Dr. Gelman who ended up performing the surgery free of charge for him .

Does any member's know how to distinguish scar tissue? I feel like a soft tissue feel's kinda like fat on top shaft where implant was. not too sure if thats scar tissue ?

It is hard to feel the scar tissue, but typically it is a bit harder than surrounding tissue. You probably still have swelling so can't tell yet...

What did the Dr give you for after care instructions? when did he say you can stretch?

Good luck with recovery, we are all here for ya!

Aftercare was just to take antibotic's so far and no exercise. Dr. gelman is not a supporter of stretching device's. He told me he's not against it either. I have appointment with him this Friday. I will update what he say's. I'm going to wait until I'm healed until I start stretching.

Was he able to remove all the scar tissue? did he mention anything about it? Also, did he mention anything about how he stitched your shaft back to the pubic area? If not, can you please ask him? It is important to know what he does and how he attaches the shaft to the lig muscles where the implant used to enter the body.
Is your shaft straight or is it curved now?

Just my .02$ but that sounds like scar tissue. Could be inflammation though. I have scar tissue from getting a vasectomy and know the feeling of that, and it's not super hard, just feels like extra tissue that's sort of out of place.

Yup, its not hard, I have plenty of it myself, right where my penis starts in my pubic area & to the right going down towards my testicles. I can feel quite a bit in there.

I saw Dr. gelman today.
He did not remove any scar tissue. I asked him prior to surgery and the reason why he doesn't remove scar tissue is he say's there is no way to remove a scar.. He say's if you remove a scar it will grow back.

I have an upward's curvature in my penis now and it point's toward the right. Before this I had a penis that dead straight ahead. I'm hoping the curvature will get better with time. Dr. Gelman say's he has alot of treatment's to help with curvature. But said I should wait at least 6 month's of not seeing any improvement before I seek treatment.

It's wonderful how seamless Dr. Elist claims his 'implant' is to remove and how complication free.
It is insanity that he still practices...
And finally when his practice is finally closed and the police are knocking, I bet he'll be practicing g in Dubai or somewhere else.

Scar tissue can be removed, it is very different from surrounding tissue, I saw my own open penis and could see the difference in tissue color!
I never read nor heard scar tissue regrows after Removal, I'll check on it. Waiting 6 months before taking care of curvature? seems way too long, but I am NOT a dr.
Good luck healing man!

Holy hell. You went from 5.75 to 3.5 EL? So sorry to hear that. Hopefully it all comes back for you

Here's another update:

12 day's post Removal

I had sex 2 day's ago and it was absolutely heaven without the implant. My orgasm's are fantastic. Erection's are super nice and hard. Recovered a lot of my sensation on top shaft of penis without the implant. It's a major difference. When I had the implant the top shaft almost felt numb.. That was one of the reason's I didn't like the implant as well because it took away a lot of the pleasure from sex. So I'm pretty happy about that. It also seem's the pain on the left side of my glan's is gone too. During sex and masturbation I do not feel that sharp pain of the implant protruding my nerve's as before. That was the BIGGEST problem for me.. It made sex very uncomfortable and painful. But now that I don't feel the sharp pain no more , I am able to enjoy sex again.. Super stoked about that!! My penis is still slightly swollen by the glan's where the suture's inside was removed. But overall it's healing quite well. No bruise's, very little pain during sex when I was thrusting my fianc' roughly . But normal paced sex was good. I also didn't have a drain for Removal like I did for the implant with elist I read a lot of patient's had a drain when they got there's removed. My curvature is about 20-25 Degree angle upward's and slightly the right. It's not major but definitely something I hope will straighten out with time possibly stretching devices or get better with possible treatment's in the future. Daily life has been a lot better, having the implant was such an inconvenience.

PS: I hope any people considering the implant after reading this please do not get it. It was the worst decision of my life.... It ruined my entire year of 2018... Undoubtedly the worse year of my LIFE! I went through hell in the relationship with my fianc' because of this.. Our sex lifewasn't the same after I got the implant... Before that it was amazing sex... I am so happy I got it removed without any major complication's . Consider my self blessed, as there is many men who have suffered worse fate than me. I am starting a new chapter in my life now and looking forward to the new year and what type of opportunities it will bring!

Congratulations man!! Good luck to you! Glad you can get your life back on track.
