Hello Everyone!
Let me start with my measurements (keep in mind these were all taken while seated). I WILL NOT BE UPLOADING PHOTOS which is a personal preference and I hope that everyone can respect that. If you feel otherwise then just go have a nice day and tell it to someone else.
PRE-PROCEDURE
Non-Bone Pressed Flaccid Length: 3.9in
Flaccid Girth: 4.6in
Bone-Pressed Stretched Flaccid Length: 7.5in
Erect Girth: 5.5in
Non-Bone Pressed Erect Length: 6in
Bone-Pressed Erect Length: 7.1in
Erect Glans Circumference : 4.5in
5 DAYS POST-PROCEDURE (will update these as time progresses)
Non-Bone Pressed Flaccid Length: 5in
Flaccid Girth: 5.75in
Erect Girth: 6.25in
(left any length and glans measurements out of post-procedure as those are unaffected except for flaccid length)
Visually, I am circumcised and my shaft/glans look even in width. The skin is on the shaft is relatively tight with only some looseness to the skin near my circumcision scar which is about 1in below my glans.

DISCLAIMER!!!!!! Everything after this will read like a biography on my journey up to the point of discovering phalloplasty and arriving to the conclusion of getting Ellanse with Dr. Casavantes. If you prefer to skip this section then skip to the next solid line after these next few paragraphs! Thank you!:
My Ellanse journey all started about 2 1/2 months ago when I did a little research on
penis enlargement. The first procedure I came across was Dr. James Elist and his Penuma implant. The idea of having a plastic sleeve inserted into my penis permanently put me off but I was intrigued by the idea of having a larger girth and length. This led me to doing some research on the Penuma implant which brought me to this site. Here is where I realized that most people who get this procedure were unhappy and had it taken out eventually due to complications.
Once the Penuma implant option was eliminated I learned about Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections through this site. Now let me go on a small rant that will hopefully help future newcomers into feeling more at ease when it comes to this site whose main goal is to discuss phalloplasty. If you don’t care about hearing this then just move on to the next paragraph. I truly hope no one takes any offense to this! I am just being open and honest which is something I feel I can do given my anonymous nature... this site has been a blessing and knowing what I know now I would never had held these preconceived notions regarding it. I am a younger guy and without sounding like a total douche (I know I will anyways) I have always been considered handsome and “cool”. I have a fiancé who could out-rival any supermodel. So given my fortunate luck in life, I felt extremely uneasy lurking on a site dedicated to men making their penis bigger through medical procedures. It was never that I thought I was better than anyone (I am not), it was just that I thought everyone here came from a very different set of ideas and lives then me. The pornographic avatars and hearing about people getting permanent fillers injected into their penises until they the point of necrosis were a few of the things that made me feel out of place. I felt like I had entered a world of people who were so heavily addicted to the idea of a huge penis that they would botch their member at all costs to obtain that dream. Not only that, but given the nature of being fooled by the whole Elist implant I really didn’t know who to trust. I was extra suspicious of this site and I cannot count the thousands of posts from peoples post history that I went through. It wasn’t until after going through pretty much every thread and doing my own research into things that I realized my prejudices were unfounded. I no longer feel like I entered some dark-web back alley where all kinds of nasty goes on lol. I urge anyone who is new here that is on the fence about the idea of phalloplasty to exhibit some patience and to do your own research! Ok! back to being on topic....
With HA, I liked the aesthetic results that I saw and the fact that it could be dissolved at any time if I was unhappy. However, I was put off by two big issues. One, most people who got it noted that the texture it gave to their penis was more of a soft and squishy consistency. Second, following the procedure, the added volume from HA slowly decreases... something that would drive me mad since I would know that everyday I was getting smaller.
I then looked at the permanent option of Polymethyl-mathacrylate (PMMA) injections. This filler was known to give a stiffer feel like HA but I could not get over the hump of it being permanent. This was my first cosmetic procedure of any kind... and I know the first rule of cosmetic procedures is to NEVER expect a perfect result. In rare cases you may get super close but in the end there will always be minor flaws. I was scared I may be dealt some bad luck in terms of a permanent result so I voted PMMA a non-option. I was especially averse to the permanent nature of PMMA given that I am ok with my size and am looking to enlarge it as a cherry on top kind of deal. I really do think everyone should experiment with non-permanent options before settling on something that is supposed to last forever like PMMA.
After conducting all of this research, I came across Ellanse filler injections. Ellanse seemed like the most middle-ground of all the fillers. It has the firm and more natural feel of PMMA while being temporary like HA (though it cannot be dissolved like HA). I spent the $25 for the membership to phalloboards because I wanted to see the results of Ellanse for myself. I wasn’t sure if I was being scammed out of $25 but I told myself that if it saved me from doing something stupid with my only penis then hey I will bite the bullet. Luckily, I was impressed by a majority of the results and made the decision to go ahead with getting it done. Unfortunately, right when I was about to make an appointment to have the procedure done with the respected Dr. Carney at Morganstern in Atlanta, a horrible tragedy I will remember for the rest of my life stroke.. Morganstern stopped offering Ellanse procedures for the foreseeable future! Given that Ellanse has yet to approved by the FDA in the US (despite being approved in the EU) they had to put a hold on injecting it. A bummer because they were the only respectable doctors I could find to offer it in the US. I decided I would wait until they offered it but after emailing the company that makes Ellanse I discovered i would have to wait to at least early 2021 before it got FDA approved in the US. So I turned my attention to Dr. Casavantes (Dr. C) in Tijuana, Mexico.
I had only heard bad things about Tijuana in the past. I just remember reading an article saying it was the most violent city on the world given the homicide rate. This may sound stupid but given this info, I had no idea if Dr. C’s office (Avanti Derma) was legit or even if he had a medical license given that he operated in Mexico. So I did my research. I found that Dr. C graduated from the Autonomous University of Chihuahua and verified that he had a valid medical license. I then found out who his supplier was for Ellanse (3D Pharma) and made sure that they were indeed supplying to Avanti Derma. I then then contacted the actual company that makes Ellanse (Sinclair Pharma) and they verified to me that they do supply 3D Pharma with Ellanse. With all those boxes checked I felt way more comfortable going with Dr. C. I advise anyone unsure to do the same or it makes them feel more at ease about doing a cosmetic procedure in an unfamiliar country. I even waited a month between contacting them about the procedure saying I wanted to do it and actually booking an appointment and never felt pressured to do it immediately despite showing interest. They were very polite and quick with any email correspondence which was another plus. So I booked my appointment for 12mL which took place
5 days ago. Ok, now onto the more interesting stuff!
______________________________
I drove into Tijuana with my fiancé and dog given that we road-tripped down and stayed on the beach in Tijuana. I went into my procedure after arriving late at night and getting no sleep which wasn’t so great but was still pumped and excited. Upon arriving at the office of Avanti Derma, I took note of how nice and clean everything looked. I was taken in shortly after and before I knew it had changed into a gown and was photographed from the waist down by Ian. I was then put onto the operating chair where I was ready to be prepped. Ian (Dr.C’s assistant) then put the chair flat like a bed and cleaned my member off and then Dr. Morales came in to administer a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) shots which I paid extra for. PRP’s main purpose is to do is aid in recovery and Dr. C claims to get better results when applying it so I went ahead and ate the extra cost. I was pleasantly surprised by the bedside manners of Ian and Dr. Morales after I told them about my fear of unclean needles to which they responded by opening all the new needles in front of me. Big plus since I have some doctors scoff like I am so weirdo for not taking a chance with catching HIV. Next, I was given the numbing agent which I believe they said were Lidocaine shots which weren’t that bad. Then it was time for the headliner: Ellanse.
Dr. C had all the boxes of Ellanse ready and even showed me the lot numbers and how they were not tampered with. Dr. C then injected the Ellanse as Ian and Dr. Morales stood by aiding the process. The numbing agent definitely worked as I gently nodded off during the procedure. I mean it must have worked if I was able to sleep peacefully during a procedure where a guy I just met prodded my penis with needles. Wonderful. On what was likely the last mL of Ellanse I did feel a few sharp stings as the numbing wore off but nothing to write home about. I was too nervous/excited about the new member of the family a.k.a. Penis 2.0 to worry about any pain. Right after Dr. C finished everyone left the room and Ian took a few more pictures of my newborn phallus. I am not going to lie and say I loved him at first. Honestly, I was a bit worried that I should have done 10mL instead. I thought the shaft looked disproportionally larger than the head, especially closer to the glans. Ian told me there was some swelling but this would be close to the final size. This let on some more panic but I remember what Texas said about his original procedures and how he doubted his decision a bit and kept my cool. Ian then wrapped me up in a stretchy pink bandage (wish I could have had a better color) and I was given instructions about massaging, etc. I felt physically fine as I walked downstairs and then drove back to our Airbnb on the beach. Four hours after the procedure you are supposed to return so Ian can look at your recovery but since I was staying 35 minutes from the office i decided against this. I just wanted to relax since I had not slept in days so Ian and I agreed that I would text him a picture of my unwrapped penis in 4 hours. I ended up texting the wrong number lol so whoever received my bruised and ugly penis I am so sorry! I hope it wasn’t someone’s grandma or something!
Now, during the first night they recommend taking a pill to relax your penis and leave it at that. I did that but I also wrapped my member up with the stretchy bandage they provided kinda like I know Chester did. That was a bad idea as when I woke up a lot of the product had bunched up near the base. I legitimately thought I screwed my penis up at that moment as it looked god awful ugly. The base was bulging out and the shaft looked so much bigger than my head it looked like the infamous hot dog in a bun look I had read about here but never thought would happen to me. I measured and my erect shaft girth was around 6.75in with it being around 7in at the base while my flaccid alone was 6.6in!!! I knew there would be swelling but this just had me terrified. I went like this to my follow-up appointment with Ian the morning after the procedure. What gave me hope again was when Ian massaged the product around my penis and before my eyes change it back to a form that was at least acceptable to me. I asked and was given a hanger which was like a noose for your penis with a weighted metal ball attached to it. This is to help keep your penis from retracting after the procedure and was used in conjunction with the Penimaster Pro which I purchased separately. I then left on my slightly cautious way out of Mexico and back to Trumpland.
These last few days following the procedure I have been massaging my penis using the technique Ian showed me probably 5-7 times a day for 15-20 minutes after heating my thing up with a heating pad for 15-20 minutes. I will say that I had a little confusion with how to apply the massage to the different areas of my penis. Some areas, such as the base and the underside, are more awkward to massage so make sure you are totally comfortable with how to perform the massages before leaving the Tijuana area. If I had to do things over again I would have stayed in the hotel that is attached to the medical offices Avanti Derma is located in and gone to Ian for massages as much as possible.
So the good news is that today (5 days post-procedure) I finally got a really good glimpse at what will probably be close to the finished product aesthetically. The swelling has gone down a ton and I am sitting at 6.25in erect girth and 5.75in flaccid girth with a flaccid hang of 5in. The look of Penis 2.0 is so much better and after wishing for him to go down and return to his prior form the last 4 days, I am now wishing for him to stay and not get any smaller lol. He looks totally natural! I am so glad I that I decided to go through with this procedure and would definitely go back to Dr. C again for top-ups and not major size increases since I really don’t think a size much larger would appear natural. My goal now is to try to use my stretcher consistently and maybe add a little more erect and flaccid length.
I really want to thank Texas for answering some of my questions regarding Ellanse. I also want to thank anyone who detailed any procedure they may have had as it was super helpful in me finding the right fit. Lastly, I want to thank Skeptical One for making this place possible. I would have never gone through with this if it wasn’t for the wealth of info I have found on this site. Such a shame that most cosmetic procedures for men, especially those involving the penis, are left on the back burner while those for women are improving at a lightning pace... Here is to advancing this field of medicine so that more guys can get there penis to where they feel it should be!
Now I have a question: can anyone who has had Ellanse describe to me the process of swelling and when they reached the size the would finally end up at. I know 12 weeks is the whole process but when did all the swelling subside and show your final girth? I am just curious as to where my girth will likely end up at!
Thanks again!
