Dr. Rosenthal has a good reputation and is currently using Alloderm for grith enhancement. He also has a new type of gel he’s using for glandular enhancement. It is supposed to last at least two years whereas the previous substance he was using only lasted 6 months to a year.
Dr. Giunta is still using fat for his girth enhancement but is now getting much better results from it. I had a bad experience with his FFT 10 years ago, but I’ve spoken with many people who are singing his praises as of late.
Dr. Alter only does length at this time and has a good reputation. He doesn’t do girth enhancement at this time but is not against it like so many people claim. He thinks Alloderm looks very promising but is not ready to use it yet because he’s not sure of the long term results.
Dr. Krakovsky is another surgeon who seems to be doing a great job. From what I’ve read, he has an outstanding girth enhancement technique. The only problem about his results is that I can’t be quite sure of them. All the information I’ve received is from a website sponsed by his group. They seem to be on the up and up and are very helpful, but they have a financial incentive. They have a great site but seem to do a lot of bashing on other doctors in the field.
There are definately other surgeons but there are only two I would use. The nice thing about Rosenthal and Giunta (lately) is their before and after pictures. The after pictures were taken months or years after the surgeries.
