Subject: [Surgical_Enlargement_Forum] Ken against Alloderm and “The Future”
Gentlemen,
Because everyone has jumped on the Alloderm bandwagon does not mean it is a good thing.* This is a cash cow and those who are doing these surgeries are now looking for ways to keep that cash cow paying off.*
There have been numerous problems with Alloderm and it’s intended
usage was not for penile enhancement.* Alloderm was designed for
exterior usage in burn victims with a primary direction towards skin
grafting.* I can currently name 5 enhancement patients who have had
to have this removed several years after the implantation because
severe scar tissue formed around it.*
Next minor little “problem”.
There is NO commonality between tissue harvested from your own body
and “Alloderm”.* The ONLY thing that they have in common is a basis
in human cell structure.* Good, Bad or whatever your own immune
system is NOT going to be “alerted” by something which originated
inside your own body because it is NOT foreign.* Though every effort
is made by the manufacturer to prevent immune responses to Alloderm,
it does not always work.*
Gary Alter has a sterling reputation without a blemish.* I do not see
Gary Alter running to jump on the Alloderm Bandwagon.* The reason is
simple.* He has over the past few years had to yank too much of this
stuff out!* Alter is one of the best of our group, and the fellow who
has by his actions which speak far louder than words stated: “I will
not do girth enhancement BECAUSE we do not have a manner to do it
that is as of right now acceptable to MY OWN SELF IMPOSED
standards.”*
Alloderm has in enhancement surgery had a rather poor reputation in
the past. It gets implanted on the east coast, and surgically removed
on the west coast.* Even if the techniques improve considerably for
implantation, it is still a “foreign body”.* It will take 5-7 years
before the problems with scar tissue will become apparent in some
men.* What is a “good job” now, may not be as the hands of time march
on.* THIS is where the problem lies.*
Gary Rheinschild is a personal friend and has at this time decided
that Alloderm and his techniques combined will equal a good outcome.*
I have the highest respect and love for Gary Rheinschild as an MD,* a
personal friend, and as a great and caring man.* I personally do
reserve the right however to* disagree with his decision with regards
to Alloderm.* Considering Gary Rheinschild’s age, by the time that
late developing problems start to rear their ugly heads, from
surgical procedures performed in 2004 this great man will most likely
be retired from surgical practice.* My personal fear gentlemen is not
the short-term results, but instead the very long-term results
because of a human immune response called “encapsulation”.
There have been cases in female breast augmentation where saline
implants became totally encapsulated in scar tissue over a period of
time, because of this immune response.* When this happens, the scar
tissue and the implant have to be removed and because of the nature
of scar tissue, a great deal of other tissue must be cut away in the
process.* Gentlemen, I can tell you from a rather
interesting “personal experience” some years ago with an “exotic-
dancer” who would in size have made Dolly Parton look small, that
when this takes place these things feel like a bad quality 40 year
old Levitz cheap sofa!* This gal after her retirement from
the “profession” as a stripper and dancer (and I do not mean
prostitution) had to have her whole chest rebuilt and the surgical
problems were extensive.* She made great money, and getting
the “rebuild” cost her about the same as a 5 year old Rolls Royce
Corniche Convertable at the time.** Her name was Judy and she was an
incredible lady and a good friend for many years.*
In a penis, there is no where near the volume of tissue that there is
in a breast, the composition of penile tissue is different, and
because erections (which require elasticity) are involved, you get a
real mess and can go into an artificially created state of Peyronies
if this whole thing goes wrong!* This is NOT good.* Will it happen
with everyone?* NO!* This is one of thouse “Roulette Wheel” things
fellows.* Want to take that chance that it will be you!* By all means
go for the Alloderm!
Gentlemen, there is NO future for most in phalloplastic surgical
procedures at all.* Surgical procedures are a short term solution
that is what we have for now.* The research that “Bubble” has
provided for you is evidence that meaningful treatments and a
legitimate version of “the magic pill” are not as far away as many of
you might think.*
The world of medical research and the cash cow generated by
Pharmaceutical Giants is and has 1000 times the power of ANY surgeon
on the face of this earth.* AGAIN!* Think!* Rogaine!, Viagra!,
Cialis!, the demand and financial rewards of a magic pill to make a
mans “winkie” bigger would be exponential compared to these!* It may
be quietly, but there are incredible sums now being spent to be the
first one out with this one guys!*
It is coming!
In the meanwhile, hey, if you want the lengthening procedure get a
good surgeon and GO FOR IT!* Try some other stuff for the girth and
if you keep the foreign bodies out you’re still eligible for
the “magic pill” when it eventually gets here.*
Best to All
Ken
