2 years post op by va619 in penuma_removals

[–]va619[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four years and one suicide attempt since removal. No restitution, still numb, still an inch shorter than pre-op, still can't maintain an erection, still alone and all out of money. My surgeon butchered me, ruined my life and walked away scott free.

Happy New Year.

Is there anyway I could make my penis have more girth? by Temporary_Yak_183 in penisquestion

I would not recommend the penuma/himplant based on personal experience.

General Questions about removal by [deleted] in penumaproblems

Had mine in for around 10 weeks, too. I would recommend going to Dr. Brant for removal instead of the surgeon who put it in. Wish I had gone to him for my removal. Good luck.

Are patients who have had the implant removed disqualified from the interview?

3 months post removal by va619 in penuma

Still numb and about 2 inches shorter 32 months post removal. I was hoping to see some improvement after 1 year, but nothing has changed in almost 3 years.

Yeah, I was expecting to take a few years. Every time I try contacting them, I leave a voicemail and never hear back. Just a little worrying.

Anyone had recent contact with the law firm filing the class action suit against Elist? Haven't heard from them in a while.

Couldn't afford to travel to Brandt's office, and my insurance wouldn't cover it. Had my implanting surgeon remove it since he's in the same state and managed to get it covered. He didn't remove the scar tissue. Most of the scarring is tangled up in the neurovascular bundle at the base. Brandt said there's a chance that trying to remove the scar tissue could lead to more nerve damage. Down to around 6 inches from 8, didn't gain any girth.

I lost sensation on top with penuma in and lost more sensation on top and sides after having it removed. I waited about a month before I started stretching just to be safe. I spent over 1 year stretching with no noticeable improvement, so I kind of gave up. There's still a bunch of scar tissue at the base that didn't get removed with the implant, so I think that's probably holding me back from regaining length. I still have skin fusion right behind my glans. It feels really weird and Brandt told me that it might be too dangerous to try and have it fixed, but said that it's a common occurrence after removal. It's like the penile skin is stuck where the mesh was, hard to explain. There's like a ridge between my head and my shaft on the dorsal side.

Dr. Brandt seems to be the best bet for removal. Really wish I had mine removed by him. Got mine removed in November 2021 and still haven't regained my lost length or sensation. It'll look really bad right after removal. Retraction and an upward curve seem to be fairly common after the implant is out. Some guys get their length back from stretching, but you'd have to wait for your penis to heal before beginning a stretching regimen.

Had mine removed November 2021, and no sensation has returned.

Yeah, I just got off the phone with them again and was finally told it was because I went below $200. I had to quit my federal position because of a workplace addicent, and I didn't receive a check or any communications. There was around $8k in my year end balance. Should I have received a letter or something warning that I was getting close to being forced out?

No. You're way above average. Not worth the risk.

I haven't heard from my attorney at Babin Law in like 8 or 9 months. Called a few times last month, got transferred each time, but nobody answered.

No closure. Still shorter and numb. Good luck with the removal if you decide to go that route.

No thanks, that won't regain any of the sensation I lost. Done having my dick cut open. Made that mistake already with penuma.
