TOPIC: Avanti PMMA - Round 1 April 2024

Day 5 post procedure looks like I’m measuring:

CS scar: just shy of 6”
Midshaft: 6”
Base: 6.3”

I also tested positive for covid yesterday and definitely feel it. Hoping those numbers bounce back up a tad. Entry point finally closed for certain and I have a bit of a Nodule there as you can see in the side on pic.

Holy symmetry
Looks completely natural. Like way natural. Ain't a damn soul going to suspect shenanigans on visual inspection.
Should still be able to pinch the entry point to get rid of the Nodule yeah?

Thanks man! Yes I believe so. In fact, from round 1 I had an identical Nodule on the opposite side that I was able squeeze out over time like a whitehead.

This is honestly the most natural result I've seen on this forum.

As far as post-op extenders go, is the Penimaster Pro required? I have an Apex which I’m worried may attach too low below the head. Do you have any recommendations?

Not required. AD provides a weighted 6-oz. noose style all-day stretcher that you’ll want to wear for the following several weeks. I wouldn’t do any true PE type traction devices until 6-8 weeks post procedure. I wouldn’t recommend a compression type device (Make Hanger for example) until even further out.

What are measurements looking like now?

So I’m exactly 5 weeks out today.

Pre-round 2 / 5 weeks post procedure:
Neck/cs line: 5.75 / 5.85”
Midshaft: 5.5 / 5.9”
Base: 5.9 / 5.9”

This not a touch up so I am a tad dissatisfied as I assumed I’d have better gains going with a full round. I was leaking from the entry point near midshaft so it wasn’t the case that there was a lack of filler placement there, rather I was just tight in that area. Still I am surprised that there wasn’t any gain at the base.

I’ll likely get another round but don’t feel any sense of urgency because I am happy with the aesthetics and real life usage.

How many total ml did you do in both rounds?

Rd 1 21cc and rd 2 15cc. Mostly 30% in rd1, more of an even split between 30/10% in rd 2.

You ended up getting nearly double the actual volume of PMMA itself in the first round vs second
5.7mL PMMA (1st round) vs 3.1mL PMMA (2nd round)
(18 * 0.3) + (3 * 0.1) VS (8 * 0.3) + (7 * 0.1)

Does anyone know if this infrared heating pad would work well?

Doesn’t look bad but a little pricey. I’d think a simple square shaped one made to wrap around the arm or knee may be better so you can have 360 degree coverage. I have a random one I got an Amazon for ~$20 but honestly I didn’t use it much outside of the first several days post procedure.

Long time no update. I’m been holding at a pretty uniform 6” EG from circ scar, mid shaft and base. I’ve posted elsewhere that some nodules have popped up with the most annoying one being the thick noodle type of the top side of the shaft near the base. Will likely get it addressed in the coming months. Otherwise quite satisfied with the aesthetics.
