Re: 10-day post-op pic
My incisinon has sucked. I think it may partially be due to the fact the surgeon did a scrotoplasty at the same time and a larger horizontal scrotal incision. (more $$ for them). The OP photo looks great. I'm still having slight discharge 6 weeks later. I've reached out to the surgeon's office yeste...

Re: One week ago
It was one week ago that I became a bionic brother. It has been a good week and so far I can’t say I’ve had any pain. My scrotum has been a little uncomfortable, but I think that’s from the way that I was wrapped up after surgery. The gauze had formed a “rope” and it seemed to strangulate my nuts. ...

Re: Infection? - Incision Photo attached
My doctor's recommendations were: Soap and water. Chlorhexidine. Leave the wound uncovered. Keep dry after cleaning it, you can apply a hair dryer that does not burn, to dry. Watch out for: Redness, pain, suppuration or inflammation of the wound, hardening of the surrounding area, excessive inflamm...

Re: Infection? - Incision Photo attached
My doctors office recommended this for pre and post op cleaning Thanks - I used that for 3-4 days pre-op but not postop. I have never heard of baby shampoo as a wound cleaner. My doctors said to use antibacterial soap. I use dial gold for showers. They also advised to use Bacitracin ointment and st...

Infection? - Incision Photo attached
Hi there I went for my two week recheck today. The PA was concerned about the appearance of the incision (alhough he said it was a possible superficial wound infection) and started me on two weeks of Keflex and has me washing the area with baby shampoo. I haven't had anything approaching a fever and...

Re: Financing Tips
For what it's worth there's a website, surgeo.com, that has a number of procedures available as a package purchase including implant surgery available from various practitioners, some of whom are referred to regularly on this forum. Financing is apparently available. Not an endorsement but if I didn...

And probably stands out 3/4”. If I was ever in a locker room and people saw me...

Re: First consultation
Good for you! I had 4 different initial consultations set up but after my first one I felt confident enough I just went with him. Decided flying around the country to hear what I already knew just to get more “gut feels” wasn’t productive. Others have found multiple consults valuable. Me, i just wan...

My biggest conc...
