Two of the surgeons I saw are at training hospitals and although they both said they complete the surgery that trainees may be involved. It seems like that's the case at many places. Should th...

Re: Experiences with ventral phalloplasty (=removal of excess scrotal skin) during prosthesis implantation or stand alon

I recently saw Dr. Loh Doyle today for implant and inquired about scrotoplasty. He prefers two incision - infrapubic + scrotoplasty. Anyone with this experience. It seems to me to make more sense just to go penoscrotal and use the same incision? I have appointment with Dr. Clavell and Dr. Patel this...

Re: Experiences with ventral phalloplasty (=removal of excess scrotal skin) during prosthesis implantation or stand alon

Re: Recommendations for Implant Surgeon in Southern California

Thanks all - I am making an appointment to see Dr. Doyle! I have some mild peyronie's disease and hoping the implant will fix that plus the erection problems.

Recommendations for Implant Surgeon in Southern California

Hello FT. Have been thinking about implant for a while now and just saw Dr. Yafi this week for my first consultation. I was a little underimpressed and I am inclined towards an AMS implant (for various reasons). Anyone have any recommendations for a trustworthy surgeon in southern California. I've r...
