Title: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on June 14, 2017, 09:48:28 AM
Hi guys,

I'm 21 years old and I suffer from congenital curvature (most likely, as I have always had it and I'm young). This forum has been immensely helpful to me. A lot of you who already had the STAGE surgery have given me some great information and I decided to tackle my problem and go for an initial consultation. Either way, I am quite confident I will go for the surgery as well, as I have documented a lot about other types of surgeries, doctors and prices. The price is quite high (8000 euros + hotel & travel), but a large percentage also goes into hospital stay, meds and follow-up consultations.

I am from Romania (Timisoara), so the travel costs won't be as high, because his private clinic is located in Vienna.

I have a ~45 degree left curvature and a slight upward curvature as well (not sure to what degree), but I have read that they can successfully treat biplanar curvatures as well. The curvature is not that severe, but it does greatly interfere with my sex performance and I want to have a normal and fulfilling sex life. Taking in account the studies and the detailed experience from the people who had the STAGE surgery, I would say this is the best solution to treat it. Absorbable sutures and minimal, but effective intervention to the Tunica Albuginea and the experience of the doctor are the primary factors for this decision.

A small shoutout for @danp and @fefgeug for helping me with some additional information about the surgery!

I have an initial consultation booked for 18th of August and a reserved spot for a potential surgery at 26th of September. Wish me luck guys, it will be my first surgery, so I am quite nervous and scared.

I will keep a detailed journal as experience from other users have helped me so much in my decision. Next update will come in August, see you then.

Last week I was in Vienna and visited Dr. Kuehhas. We did the ultrasound examination and I have a biplanar curvature of 40 and 45 degrees, upwards and to the left. Everything else was fine (blood flow etc).

Even though it's a biplanar curvature, the fact that the degrees are pretty much the same, the plications will be made from the same vertical position (sort of in a diagonal line).

It has been confirmed that it is a congenital curvature and thankfully there were no traces of scar tissue (there was a little scar tissue spot which was removed, not Peyronie's!). It is quite rare since I have an upwards curvature but 95% of congenital is downwards. Regarding the foreskin, I will be opting for circumcision. It's a personal preference which I always wanted, even though foreskin preservation is possible.

The surgery is planned for 25th of September and now I feel completely ready to go through with it. We discussed the surgery, the risks and the healing period.

The fee is quite big, but it surprised me that hotel costs are included. It is a very nice hotel which is extremely close to the clinic. That's a big plus!

Honestly, at this point, I think and according to the posts by the others, I think with this doctor I have the biggest chances to permanently fix this problem. I would very much like if many other doctors would have his expertise. That way, more people like me could have higher chances of a successful surgery.

It has been a long road until here and there are some challenges to face. I have a mix of anxiety, fear, hopefulness, excitement. I don't really know what to make of it :)

Of course, I will keep you guys updated. Not sure if I will be able to do it daily, but I'll try my best!

Cheers.

what do u mean hotel costs are included? the 8000 is just for the surgery or everything including the hotel? who would you give the hotel fee?
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on August 30, 2017, 04:06:48 AM
8000 euros include surgery, medication, hotel stay, follow-up consultations. The hotel is being reserved and paid by the clinic. But the hotel would cost around 300 euros so while it's a nice addition, compared to the whole price it is quite small.

Hi Zoli1995,

1. How did you arrange surgery at his private clinic? It appears he doesn't work for International Andrology London anymore and they refuse to help me get in contact with him.

2. Any chance you could record your pre-op length (short side and long side) and your stats after surgery? :)

Hi @phan,

1. You can contact them from here Dr Franklin Kuehhas | Facharzt für Andrologie & Urologie in Wien (http://dr-kuehhas.at/)

2. Yes, will do so. They do claim it's about 0.1cm lost for every 10 degrees of curvature. In my opinion, the final length will be the short side, straightened.

Post by: phantasoic on August 30, 2017, 12:32:08 PM
Thanks for the help zoli1995, we definitely need more detailed reports surrounding length loss.

Just contacted Dr. Kuehhas and should be having a consultation with him very soon :)

Hello,

Today I had the pre-op consultation with Dr. Kuhhas. We discussed some last questions that I had. We also got a bit more into what my case is. I have congenital curvature, but I also have a bit of fibrotic tissue one the short side of the penis. Now the reason this is not Peyronie's is that it's only on the outer layer of the tunica. It hasn't compromised it or anything, so it's most likely there since birth, that's what he said. I also asked if there were any such cases and he said that quite a few congenital cases have this type of fibrotic tissue. Again, not from Peyronie's!

What will happen with that tissue is that it will be cut out. Now I asked a lot about this, whether it's going to cause any problems but this will actually help reduce the number of STAGE incisions on the opposite side. Also, by cutting out this extra tissue (it was like only a 1mm width, so it's small) the healing in this part will be very fast, since it's just extra dead tissue. So there won't be any Tunica compromise.

Whatever degree of curvature remaining, it will be fixed with STAGE incisions.

We discussed the risks, symptoms, healing period and it's what I have expected what read on this forum. I had a little bit of hesitation right before signing the paper, but I think that's natural. Anyways, I'm going forward with the surgery, I feel like it's a good decision based on the member posts, the attitude the doctor had and so on.

I am quite anxious right now, but I know what to expect and I am ready to go through with it. The truth is that if I don't do anything about it, it's going to remain the same and cause a lot of problems down the road, so it's better to fix it as fast as possible with a great doctor.

It's also great that I can share this and help others, I'll try to relate as much as I can in terms of symptoms and so on.

The next post will come probably after the surgery.

@phantasoic: length of the short side is about 15cm and girth is around 11-12cm.

Zoli - You have congenital curve, other than doing nothing you're making the only choice. You're using a well respected penile specialist. And, you have been able to see the many successful stories from other men who've already been to Kuehas.

Cheering you on!

Don't forget to take some "before" pics so that you have "after" pics to compare!

Hi guys,

Thanks John for the encouregements.

I just underwent surgery and the nurses said the surgery went quite well, without complictions. I have been instructed to squezee de tip of the penis every hour for about ten minutes to improve blood flow. Not sure if this had to be done by others as well.

I am looking forward to discuss with Dr. Kuhhas about the specifics, but for now I think everything is alright. The penis is probably numb now, as I feel no pain currently , only an urge to urinate.

This is a big step, since I was quite anxious to undergo the surgery itself. I had no memory, in fact I think I had a great nap.

There is a bit of blood on the bandage but in the reagion of the circumcision. Overall, I feel positive about this and I look forward to discuss what actually happened with the doctor.

I will keep the upates rolling as soon as I get more info.

As a side note, I am very happy and proud that I took the courage to do this. I never had surgery before so this was a big deal for me.

There's still a journey to complete, but this was a major step. Thank you all, without this forum it would not have been possible. Mulțumesc (in Romanian) everyone!  :)

I forgot to mention this,

My penis head is still numb, but it hasn't been more than an hour after surgery. The staff is very nice though. Also expect some small bleeding here and there in the first couple of hours. Also peeing is quite difficult, you need to put quite a bit of force into it. I would advise not to drink too much water when you wake up.

Also, right now, the penis seems to be in its erect state. It's straight! I don't know if in other cases they woke up with a flaccid or erect state. Also I think it's erect because of the effect of the saline injection.

Will keep you updated. Also, any questions and I will be happy to answer.

Night update,

Full sensation to glans came back. Yay! But with some pain :(

Made a visit to the doctor and he said the surgery went perfect. Took a look at the bandage and penis and he said everything seems fine, but I have to keep squeezing the glans to get fluid out of the bandage and reduce swelling.

Except some minor pain here and there and swelling of the glans, everything is very tolarable. I can go to the shop or something, although I try to rest.

I think tomorrow pain will be more pronounced, since the anesthesia will completely wear off. As qwertyman said, the glans is cold, but that's because of the saline.

I stay positive and it's a huge relief that I finally did the surgery. There is still much to do and the final results will only come later, but until now everything is perfect.

Also, there is no pain or sensation on the shaft, because it's very tightly packed. Only feel something at the base where the bandage stiches are.

I am supposed to squeeze the glans from time to time and I will meet with the doctor tomorrow. Until then I'll keep you posted.

Second day morning:

The glans is now properly swelled up and much more sensitive than yesterday. Whenever it get's swelled up a lot I start massaging it to subdue it. Pain overall is very tolerable, but the swelling/massaging is both annoying and quite painful. It's like every 5 minutes it gets swelled back up. But Dr. Kuhhas said this is normal even before it would happen.

Time is going by rather fast, I just hope things will get back to normal (in terms of pain, swelling) as soon as possible. Urinating is still quite difficult. I can walk normally, even outside the Hotel, but I try not to for a long time, because of the swelling.

I'll update after I had the consultation with the doctor today.

As a side note, I am regularly talking with the doc and sending pictures and he in turn even sent me a video once to show me how to properly massage the glans. So far great doc-pacient relationship!

And as a second side note, I find it really difficult to sleep because I should only sleep on my back. I'm really not used to that so this is quite bothering, but it's not that big of a deal.

Second day midday before consultation:

Been squeezing the glans to reduce swelling. There is no more fluid coming out from the bandage. The head looks OK, but a bit purple from all the swelling and squeezing to de-swell.

Other than that I don't really have pain, mostly just the head and some stiches that hold the bandage together. In a few hours I'll have a meeting with Dr. Kuhhas. From what I can observe, things look good.

Also, haven't been able to do anything too much since I had to be constantly looking and fixing the swellings. And as a last note here, I was prescrbied antibiotics, painkillers and from today androcur as well.

Congrats zoli! I just had my surgery today with Kuehhas. My experience is quite similar to yours. I woke up and my penis is completely straight. As you said, it's probably in the erect state cuz of saline. I came to dr.kuehhas after I had 2 failed nesbit plication. Dr.kuehhas did not only treat my curvature but also my rotation and some complications from the previous surgery such as lymphedema. Some people might wonder ( can i go to Kuehhas after multiple failed operations ). Yes you can! There is a guy who had 5 failed nesbit plication and his case was completely treated with the stage technique. I don't think that Kuehhas is a human being, he's an angel!! All the positive comments about him are utterly true. Please to anyone here and there, don't lose hope. Everything can be treated if you address your issues to the right person. Lastly, I highly recommend Kuehhas wether ur case is virgin or not.

Congrats kusher, hope your recovery goes well!

Third morning update:

Swelling still persist, whenever I can I should squeeze the glans. Not a lot of changes since yesterday, except I could sleep quite a lot. I still didn't get pain from an erection. We changed the outer layer of the bandage yesterday and it didn't look too bad.

Also yesterday I noticed some purple, black spot on my glans and I got scared. The doc said it's a small hematoma and it will go away. It's not a bump, it's more like coloring of the glans. Hope it goes away fast!

I feel more positive today, yesterday was a bit tiring. Today we'll change the bandage completely. Will keep you updated.

3rd day midday update:

Shortly I will meet with the doc. Glans still swelling, squeezing as often as I can, now it seems that it helps over a longer period too. Swelling comes back slightly later.

I have a fear and it's that tomorrow I go back home and it will take like 7-8 hours. I'll ask the doc about this.

I'll keep u updated.

3rd day midday BIG update:

So I went to meet with Kuhhas again, and it was time to change the dressing with stiches. Guys, whoever goes through those 5 minutes is a F^@$!ng spartan. Big time pain, but worth it :)

He investigated the penis and said everything is really nice, the shaft had no bruises. The glans, meatus and frenulum (which was spared btw) is swollen, but that's normal.

Swelling still persist and I still have to squeeze it, but it's already a bit better.

Anyhow, he showed me how to properly change dressings, I already know it will be difficult. You have to grab the head of the penis, stretch it out, and I really mean stretch it out until the point of pain and then wrap around the dressing. Not too tight, not too loose. I plan to make a video when doing it back home, so I know for sure I'm doing it right.

Today is the day when I start taking androcur for 21 days, so I have to prepare for feeling down, but my parent know about the surgery so they are supportive.

It's the first time when I saw the penis and it look much better than I expected. I'm quite happy now, even if the swelling is still there.

Tomorrow I go home, so I hope swelling will be smaller since I won't be able to squeeze it in front of everyone in the car :)

I also should start expecting erections at night, I hope they won't be too bad.

I'll answer any question and I'll keep u updated.

3rd night update:

Hematoma on glans is healing. When it gets dark it is when it will dissapear. It will take a few days to completely go away, but advancements are seen everyday.

Also glans is less cold, the saline is finally starting to go out.

Glans is still swelling the same way, but I got used to squeezing. I can't wait for the day when glans stop swelling and hematomas heal.

Other than that I will wake up a few times in the night so penis is not swelled for too long time.

4th morning:

Sleeping was decent, woke up every now and then and massaged the glans to make swelling go down. I think it already looks better compared to when I went to sleep, so things are improving quickly. Today I will have a last visit with the doc and go home roughly afternoon. On the road, whenever we stop and go to the toilet I'll try to massage it, other than that there's not much to do.
When I get home I will get to squeezing again, it helps with everyhing! Hematomas, saline, blood flow and also getting used to a circumcised penis.

I did not have pain/erections at night, although I am slowly experiecing some very very minor stinging pain in shaft. Only like 1 or 2 times now. Maybe my penis just knows it's a no-no for erections now :D Although it's expected they will happen at night starting the following days.

I'll keep u updated after the consultation. Also I read back some of my posts and the incisions weren't made only at one place, but 2 places. One to correct upward and one to correct sideways curvature. In total 7 stage excisions. He also removed that small scar tissue which supposedly was there since birth or something. It was definetly not peyronie's, the tunica was intact, it was on it.

4th midday:

So I met with dr Kuhhas and he made me remove and add a new dressing. It was so so hard, the adding I mean. It will be very important for when I'll have to so the night dressings. Anyways, this was the last visit and he changed the dressing for a permanent 10-11 day one.

The penis is still swollen the same way if not squeezed regularly, but the head is starting to look better day by day. I just can't wait for the swelling to stop, but it's a gradual process.

We took a look at my before and after penis and guys, the straight penis looked gorgeous! I'm really excited now, but there's so much to tackle yet. I'll make sure to do everything as he says.

Today I go back home, hope swelling won't be too bad. Peace.

4th night:

So I, at last, arrived home and things look sort of the same they did before going. I guess that's good since I didn't have a lot of time to massage the head. The colors seem to be darker now overall, but that may be because it was swollen for a longer time. I continue doing what the doctor said me to do, which is squeeze the head. It's becoming really annoying and I can't wait for the swelling to go down.

Overall some itching started to come by, I like to think that's the second phase healing of the circumcision cuts. I think after that's done the swelling will go down as well. Hematoma still there, but improving.

I would also like to mention that even after the last consultation, I have been in contact with the doctor and sending pictures everyday and asking questions. Last photos I sent after my arrival he said everything was fine.

I hope I'll have a good night and that progress will speed up in the coming days.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 01, 2017, 02:14:20 AM
5th morning:

Woke up a couple ot times to squeeze the glans to reduce swelling. I think already compared to yesterday, the glans looks better in terms of color/hematoma. Swelling still comes the same way as before.

No erections or pain from them experienced yet, although rarely I feel a small stinging pain where the stiches are. Probably a 1 of 10.

Still can't wait for swelling to stop, but at least improvements are seen.

For a bit more detailed activity: expect to squeeze the head every 2 minutes or so when it swells back up. It's not the end of the world if u can't do it when sleeping, eating, travelling, but it helps a lot with the healing. I've been listening to music and reading whilst squeezing lol.

Will get back to you with another update later in the day.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 01, 2017, 09:26:11 AM
5th day midday:

Glans is generally less swollen (including meatus excluding frenulum) because of the almost constant squeezing. About every few minutes, as soon as as it gets swollen. I think the glans is looking better by everyday in terms of bruises. Also, for those who opt for circumcision, I'm already getting used to it and the glans is not so hypersensitive anymore. This is quite a relief because od the constant touching and massaging.

There's very little fluid coming out by now. Few days ago fluid still came out when squeezing.

I expect erections soon and still waiting for glans to heal completely, so I don't have to constantly keep an eye on it :D

Also because meatus is less swollen, urinaring is slightly better.

I don't feel the effects of Androcur yet, in terms of mood. I still have 2 days on the other meds.

Overall things are going according to plan and healing is now accelerated since I'm literally home all day relaxing and massaging the head.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 01, 2017, 12:04:45 PM
5th evening:

So this is a semi-update, but it's quite relevant. The squeezing works like a charm! I watched photos 2-3 days ago and the meatus right now I would say is normal. The frenulum is also less swollen and it seems that when I don't squeeze the glans and it gets swollen up, the maximum size of the swelling is a bit smaller than previously. I was relaxing all day and massaging the glans very frequently.

Peeing is still difficult but I think it's a bit better since the swelling of the meatus has gone down.

At every night, I wake up every 2-3 hours, either by myself or by the phone and start squeezing the glans for about 5 minutes. This helps a lot to reduce big swelling overnight. Also, I like to think that because I don't get into deep sleep, erections are being kept at bay. I think this will change when the head will stop swelling and I can sleep normally. I'm not particularly afraid of the erections, I'll just get up, walk around and pinch the glans to make it go away. At least I'll know blood flow is good :)

Next update will come tomorrow morning. Again, if you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them.

6th morning:

So the night was quite difficult. The penis started to swell up the same way but when squeezing in a certain part it's very sensitive/painful to touch. A lot of fluid came out in the jight (the saline) which I guess is good. Overall the glans is looking better it's just annoying since it's harder to squeeze now. I'll ask the Dr. about this, although others have reported that for the saline to completely drain out takes 7-8 days. Hope it goes away fast and the swelling as well.

The frenulum and meatus are looking better, that's a relief.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 02, 2017, 08:29:20 AM
6th midday:

Ok, so I sent some pictures highlighting the painful part of the glans and he said it's normal since both positions are the sulcis coronarius. That is the most sensitive part of the glans, so it makes sense that now it's hypersensitive/painful when squeezing, touching.

Overall glans still healing and waiting for the day when head stops swelling. Peeing is more difficult because of it. Also, there is now less and less fluid coming out and the head is getting much warmer, which means the "era of the saline" is coming to an end :D

These days are difficult since I can't really do what I want and constant swelling is bugging my mind, but there is progress and I'm determined to go through with it. The recovery is not just physical, but a mental challenge as well.

Constantly being in contact with the doctor is very reassuring.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 02, 2017, 12:39:35 PM
6th night:

This is the last time I will take the meds, except androcur and maybe painkillers. I have made photos of my penis every morning and night since the surgery, and looking back everything is much better. Hematoma nearly completely gone, except where the delta is and the frenulum was preserved, but it's visually improving.

The meatus is nearly back to 100% normal and the frenulum is still swollen, but quite better than before.

There is still a little bit of fluid coming out now and then, but it's nearly done.

I still haven't experienced pain from erections. Maybe the pain was too small to notice or something. Although sometimes I felt like I might be having one.

I would sau that in the near future, next couple of days, the swelling will go down completely. I think it will happen when the last patches of hematoma are healed, so there's not much to wait.

This night I prepare to sleep all night, without waking up voluntarely. I hope if erections come they won't be too bad, but I'm prepared for them. Either way, it's been 6 days so they should maybe hurt a bit less :D

As a side note, would publishing these daily photos of the penis help? I wouldn't be against it, since no one would know who I really am. Either way, I think it would help others to better understand what to expect and not get worried in the initial days.

hi zoli1995
i have been following your posts as i am also about to see dr kuehhas. qwertyman is another member of the forum who has shared his experience lately. he has actually convinced me to see dr kuehhas. i have only one penis and i want it to be treated by the best. is he following up regularly? do you have a good feeling about the postoperative journey so far. i am afraid and anxious about the next steps and i will definitely have a million questions when my turn comes... is dr kuehhas accessible for your questions?
how long did you think about having your penis fixed? i have been thinking about it for a long time, but i did not know what to do so far. this forum and your posts help a lot. thanks zoli1995
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 02, 2017, 03:01:54 PM
Hey there nsbent,

First off, I never had surgery before. So this was a huge challenge to me. I believe there are only a few doctors on this planet who are extremely good in treating penile curvatures, and Kuehhas is definately one them. I know it may seem as propaganda, but throughout all the initial consultations I tried to convince myself NOT to do it, but he's the real deal. Believe me. I decided to do it now because I wouldn't want to do surgery with a doctor I don't know about.

There will be a minimum of 3 follow ups. In each follow up the dressings will be changed. These are the most painful, but they are relieving after. So you should actually be waiting for them :D

Well, first days were pretty bad since I was alone in the hotel marveling a bruised penis, but it wasn't unsupportable. You'll go through it. Just think that day by day things will get better. I encourage you to keep a historic so you can look back how much it improved!

All those million questions will be answered, don't worry!

Well, after 6 weeks I can be sexually active, but it's going to be a bit more until it will feel normal. 2 weeks is when you lose the permanent dressing, that will be a huge relief in daytime. That's when you get back to normal in the day, without sex or masturbating. The swelling depends a lot on your organism. He said some don't get swellings and for some it persist for longer. But it's normal. Every day you will send pictures to see if everything is ok, even after your departure from Vienna.

There will be some difficult steps to go through, but it is what is required. If you don't take the challenge you won't even know if a few months later you'd have a straight penis! This is only your choice to make.

I was also in your situation and I decided that I'd rather go through a difficult period than live like that for the rest of my life.

If your case is virgin, chances are very high that you'll get excellent results. And I've been thinking... what if I get residual curvature? Like 10-15 degress? Heck! Still much better than what I had. Of course this in one of the worst situations (like less than 1%).

I suggest you to study surgeries, doctors and take time to munch your thoughts before you make a decision.

All the best!

Nsbent,

You should go to Kuehhas with no hesitation whatsoever. Even if ur case is not virgin u can still win your battle and have a functional normal looking penis. Kuehhas can address multiple aspects when it comes to male genital surgery. I had 2 failed nesbit plication + edema + minor skin necrosis. With the stage surgery, he was able to fix all of these problems. I don't think that Kuehhas operates on kidney and bladder and prostate,,, all what he does is genital surgeries and strong emphasis on penile curvature. So no worries you will be in good hands. Don't ever try the nesbit surgery! It's outdated and filled with gruesome complications

7th morning:

Worst night since the surgery. First couple of hours the swelling was very strong. Rock hard. I think because the last fluids were draining out, but it was so bad it started to hurt. At the beginning I started to massage it but as I said, it was rock hard and took like 10 mins to swell down. At some point I didn't massage it anymore and just slowly got used to it. Then I could sleep a bit more and then even more! Now that I woke up, it is already less swollen. I think sometimes you just need to let your body do it's thing. I hope it won't happen this night as well.

I think glans healed a bit since yesterday but by midday I'll be able to tell better, since I just woke up. Still no pain from erections. At least no big pain the shaft where the stitches are.

Today is 7th day postop (it's actually 6th in terms of postop) which means it has been a week. Time is flying away!

7th midday:

Glans still swelled quite a bit, but much better than in the previous night. I told the doc about last night and he said it's normal and in the night whenever it becomes painful I should massage it so the swelling goes down and then go to sleep and in the day just massage it every now and then when it swells up a bit more. The swelling looks like the head would have an erection, so don't imagine it as enormous. In the first 3 days, it was though.

Overall glans still healing, sending some pictures he said the hematoma is almost gone and he said it's just a few days until swelling will go away. Meatus still ok and frenulum also got a little bit smaller. The color of glans is now pinker than bruised in most areas!

I also had an erection and woke up, but surprisingly it wasn't a stinging pain, more like a big pressure on the shaft. Didn't even have to get up, it went down on its own. Maybe I'm just lucky with erections and very unlucky with swellings :D

Hopefully, this night will be better in terms of pain. Also, I decided that I will still take painkillers, one in the morning and one in the night until the swelling goes down significantly.

7th evening:

So swelling pretty much the same and the glans and frenulum is improving. I asked about the swelling since currently it's the only thing really bugging me and he said that it will go down completely when the permanent dressing will be off. What's more, he said that I only really need to squeeze the glans when the swelling becomes uncomfortable and when I go to the toilet. In the night, before sleeping, whenever it causes pain or discomfort same thing.

Time is going by pretty fast which is good. It's becoming a bit annoying to stay home and not do most things. I can walk normally but it's quite uncomfortable and I wouldn't want to go out. My friends would immediately pinpoint something unusual :)

I'm saving the moment of getting back to normal activities when the dressing comes off, so you'd guess I'm waiting for next 7 days to go by.

I'll keep the updates rolling.

8th morning:

Worst night ever. Just after dinner, glans started to swell more and more to the point where it already took a lot of time to swell down. I was in constant pain. The pain was mostly on the glans and corona, with a mixture of itching and stinging. It was so bad I couldn't sleep only in the morning :(

I'll ask today the doc what else I can do, I'd rather take an anti-swelling med which improves things a bit than going through again what happened in the night.

I hope things will get better sooner.

Other than that glans still healing so no surprises there. Healing itself is on right track.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 04, 2017, 06:28:16 AM
8th midday:

Healing going well, swelling much less painful, almost unnoticeable in the day. I am extremely anxious about the coming night, I want to be able to sleep and not feel constant pain from swelling. Last night I was literally up for a couple of hours being in constant pain (about 4-5/10) and squeezing was very painful, since the head was very hard. That was a pain of about 6/10 at least.

Erections are not so bad, I just start walking around and it goes away. Healing is good and the day when I remove the bandage is closer. It's just the night swellings that are killing me :(

Squeezing only helps temporarily reduce swelling and pain, that's why it didn't work at night. I squeezed the glans and in less than 3-4 min it already came back painful. At some point, I wouldn't squeeze anymore and just get used to the constant pain.

I'll update if I'll do something about the night swellings.

8th midday update:

I talked with Dr Kuhhas and sent some pics with and without swellings and he said all is fine. He told me to squeeze the glans much stronger and longer when necesary. It's going to be hard but I have to keep at it. I just want the swellings to go away and remove the dressing, but there's a few more days to go through until then....
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas

8th evening:

So since I woke up I've been pretty much massaging the head quite frequently for about 5 minutes. Overall the day has been great, no particular pain or discomfort. As I'm writing this it's starting to be a little painful and itchy and I suspect for it to swell up more. Until I go to bed I will keep squeezing the same way and for the same time. The doctor also asked me to send him pictures in a few hours to check if everything is alright.

I hope I'll be able to rest tonight better than yesterday and that the swelling will be less pronounced. I'm still taking painkillers and the Androcur.

As a side note, squeezing can be quite painful, at least in the first few seconds until it swells down. So it's not like an annoying thing to do, but also painful.

I'll update next morning.

9th morning:

Last night was quite difficult too, but not as bad as the day before. I managed to sleep a couple of hours and decided to get up early so I can sleep early from the night. The day before I could only sleep starting from the morning, so I woke up in the afternoon and f'~c<+d up my sleep timing.

Glans healing nicely, visibly getting better in terms of bruising, frenulum also a bit smaller. Started experiencing a bit more pain in the shaft now and then.

Pain from swelling is felt mostly at the base of the head, which goes against the dressing.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas

9th evening:

HUGE HUGE update. So there was some scab, yellowish thing starting to crawl on the head. The doctor said it's scab. A few hours later more of that came out from the frenulum area and I sent a pic to the doctor. He said to me to clean it. After that, he told me to remove the first layer of dressing and I was starting to get nervous. It was pretty painful at some areas since it was almost glued to the lower part of the glans. Took some other pictures. He told me to squeeze the glans and wait a few minutes to see how it reacts. The swelling came back much slower. Then I waited a couple of minutes only with the first layer of dressing. All this time I was nervous because the dressing was pretty dirty from urine and other liquids. I was already thinking to go to Vienna to change the dressing.

After he responded, he told me to remove the second layer of dressing. And I was like, omg, no! And he said, it's ok, it's safe to do. Just do it slowly. He told me that I was healing well and it was ok to remove. I removed it very slowly, took about 10 minutes. It was quite painful. There was a little bit of bleeding somewhere where the dressing was very sticky. When I removed the last layer, everything looked pink and fine! The shaft has no bruises whatsoever, everything perfect! Sent pictures to the doctor and he was impressed how fast it all healed.

He told me to shower and send another set of pictures after that. So I did and now I am enjoying a liberated penis! And no more squeezing!!!

From now, I will have to use the night dressings. It will be a bit difficult, but I will manage.

This has been a huge surprise for me and I am very happy. I was counting the days when I could remove the dressing since it was swelling all the time. It was swelling because it was dirty and it compacted the penis.

Now the only problem will be the night erections, so it's important for me to properly do those night dressings, so wish me luck with that.

As a side note, there are still a few stitches left and they are a bit annoying when moving around and the glans is also a bit hypersensitive still since I was only circumcised roughly a week ago.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 05, 2017, 03:31:22 PM
9th evening extra:

So after a few hours without the bandage, I must say it's awesome. The corona on the glans is super sensitive now, not sure why, since the other parts on the glans are really ok when I touch it. There's little bruising here and there and the glans is still quite larger than usual, but this should go away in the coming days. Almost no pain experienced until now, except the corona thing. Quite a few incision stitches are visible, but they should go away in the coming days.

I did a bit of exploring and I could feel the stitches inside, they are tender and a little bit painful when I touch them. They are on the right side.

I'm preparing myself to put on the night dressing and doing some drills, it's quite difficult to do it and I'd rather do it right the first time.

Urinating is still a bit uncontrolled since the head is still a quite swollen, but it's much better already. I expect the swelling to go down quite fast, maybe tomorrow already.

9th evening last update:

So by continuously sending photos and videos to the doctor, I managed to put on the bandage at first try. Yay! Although I was preparing for it.

I hope the dressing is not too tight or too lose and it will stop the nocturnal erections successfully. I'll update tomorrow.

10th day:

I will start posting based on days and not day periods as things have normalized now a lot more.

I managed to sleep quite well, I think I woke up only once. The dressing was quite tight, but it was just uncomfortable, not painful.

The doctor instructed me to put my penis into a cup of cold camomile tea and then use medicinal honey on the head. This has to be done once in the morning and once in the night for 15 minutes. He says this helps speed the process of healing of the head and surroundings.

With pants on it can be quite uncomfortable to walk around since the outer stitches are not dissolved yet and sometimes they push against the pants and it stings a lot. Otherwise, there is no pain, only if I press harder on the internal stitch sites.

Now the challenge remains using dressings every night, for about 4 weeks and a few days. Other than the outer stitches, in the day, I feel completely normal. It helps a lot by resuming my daily activities and making time go by faster!

Post by: zoli1995 on October 07, 2017, 06:48:33 AM
11th day:

Last night was quite good, woke up a couple of times because of erections, but they didn't hurt. More like just pressure.

The glans is healing nicely, the new skin is forming and that yellow fluid is coming less now. Some parts of the glans that yesterday were hypersensitive are now better.

Stitches still there and they will go away in about 3-6 weeks. They are quite painful when pushing against underwear, so I try not to wear them.

Related to Androcur, I'm not feeling down at all, although I do feel like it prohibits erections, which is good. I'm not sure when the "depression" kicked in some of you, but I feel zero trace of it :)

12th day:

Yesterday night I woke up a couple more times because of erections. They weren't very painful, but uncomfortable.

The glans is healing nicely and the painful parts are now vanishing. It's itchier than yesterday, but things are looking better day by day. From tomorrow, I will go back to work, so I hope walking around a bit more won't cause problems.

Every time I go to the toilet I stretch the penis 10x in a straight direction and I'm still continuing with the tea baths and androcur.

Also getting better at making those night bandages :D

Congratulations guy in your progress and thanks for sharing, it gives many here hope!  Also, if you're willing to share it would be interesting for some of us who were circumcised as infants to here if there is  a difference in sensations before and after circumcision once you're recovered and back to using your now straightened penis 😎
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 08, 2017, 02:13:09 PM
Hi Sanchez,

No problem, this forum is the reason I was able to do what I did. As much as I can I want to give back.

In my case, the glans under the foreskin was quite hypersensitive. It was almost painful when rubbing it or touching it harder, so I never really felt good sensation from the glans, only through the foreskin. This was a bit annoying in private life.

2 weeks after my circumcision my glans is much less painful to touch, but all the GOOD senses are there! I am not allowed to have sexual activities for about 4 more weeks, but I can tell that I feel much better about myself and that sensations are not downgraded. I think the only disadvantage is that I'll have to lube it since it's less resistant that the foreskin, but that doesn't bother me. Also I think the penis looks much better without the foreskin!

This is, in my opinion, a very subjective topic, but I can assure you that the good sensation are still there! There's a stronger layer now on the glans but it's better this way. But this is my experience!

I will of course update about sensations when time is due  8)

Hi zoli!

What about elasticity? Do u feel that ur penis is fully elastic? Or you think there is one side that is more elastic than the other? It says on the discharge letter that it might take 6 months for the penis to regain its elasticity,, is that the case with you?

Post by: zoli1995 on October 09, 2017, 12:21:31 AM
Hi kusher,

Hmm, I'm not sure what that exactly means. I have been stretching it 10x quite often and it's quite flexible. I think it's about the tunica and the stitches about when they dissolve.

Post by: zoli1995 on October 09, 2017, 12:24:26 AM
13th day:

Slept a bit better yesterday, fewer erections woke me up. Today I get back to work.

There's one thing bothering me, there's one spot left on the glans that is sore. The problem is, the more it rubs to the underwear, the more it takes to heal and today I can't stay home anymore. Anyways, I will put some light wrap of bandage on it and wear tight underwear until it doesn't hurt anymore. I will also try to limit my movement outside the home as much as possible until it resolves.

Other than that, I've been sending pictures to the doc and he said it's healing nicely. Most of the spots on the glans are completely healed and even new skin emerged which is much tougher and reduces painful sensitivity.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 10, 2017, 12:45:46 AM
14th day:

Yesterday the glans got stuck to the underwear and it painful to separate. There's still some yellow fluid coming out in the frenulum area. This happens when the new skin is being created, so it's normal. Today I work from home so I'm not rubbing the glans and it heals as much as possible until tomorrow.

The night was the best yet, I felt no pain with the dressing before sleeping and in the night I woke up only once due to an erection, which, again, wasn't too bad.

Glans is healing nicely, some parts are perfectly pink and normal already. Time is going by rather fast and i can't wait until 6 week post-op :D

When the glans is fully healed, I will keep posting weekly, since things are pretty much normal now. Sometimes there's a pain in the internal stitch sites, I would say a 2-3/10 pain.

I also keep using the camomile tea and stretching the penis every time I go to the toilet. I expect for the medicinal honey to come soon.

Also, you'll have to purchase additional bandages. I strongly recommend to buy them in time, since it's rare to find them in pharmacies on stock.

Mini update:

So next week I'm going to the Netherlands with work and the team would basically drink every night and probably smoke too. I asked the doctor whether I can do that and he said that I can drink a little but shouldn't overdo it. I thought a lot about this, and although it's a pretty big occasion for me (we're gonna be there for like 5 days, never been to the NL) I decided that I won't drink or smoke anything. This surgery is too important for me and I won't compromise it in any way.

Travel won't be a problem, I'll just bring the bandages and medication with me, I only need to do it in the night and morning so it's not going to affect my time there. It's frustrating since both activities (drinking and smoking) is something that I would normally do when going out, but I'll just have to stay patient and accept the situation. At least I'll be sober enough to laugh at the others :D

15th day:

So it has been 2 weeks since the surgery. Things are going well, pain is decreasing and the glans is already looking better. There's no more yellow fluid coming out and I expect for the new skin to emerge in the next couple of days. Some parts of the glans are now only itchy, not painful anymore, so it's a big relief when going out.

I'm continuing with the recovery program and can't wait for the 6-week mark. Everything is going fine until now.

Glans has much improved in just a day, I expect in the next 3 days for the glans to feel completely normal. It sometimes gets uncomfortable when going around a lot in the city.

Nothing much else, erections still waking up me in the morning but they are not really painful.

I will now post weekly unless something more significant happens.

3 weeks + 1 day update:

Hey guys, so I have been a bit busy lately, but basically here is how things are:

At this point, there is no more bruising anywhere. The frenulum seems a little bit swollen, but it's not very noticable. Also not painful at all. The only pain I get is when some of the outer stiches go against the pants strongly. But there's no actual tissue related pain if that makes sense.

Still have 2 days on androcur. For me it works, no erections experienced in the day and in the night the dressing holds it. I also no longer wake up from nocturnal erections. Doig the bandages now is very easy, practice makes perfect :)

In less than 3 weeks I will be able to have erections freely and have sexual activity. It's a bit annoying at this point, but it's nothing I can't work with. Also everytime I go out, I limit myself to about one beverage with alcohol, since in larger quantities it can remove the androcur effect.

Been stretching the penis everytime I go to the toilet and now I only use camomile tea and medihoney in the night. It still helps the circumcision line heal nicely.

Walking and doing any activities now is about 99% normal except some random pain you can get sometimes. They go away quickly and are not that bad.

Hope you are all doing well. I will update next week.

Post by: zoli1995 on October 21, 2017, 04:45:30 AM
Hi kusher,

How's it going?

Well, It's difficult to give an answer on this. In the flaccid state, I can't really say I lost length or girth, especially since I've been stretching it quite often. As for when it's erect, I never saw it fully erect, maybe only 40-50% max. I think I'll be able to give more insight on this in the coming weeks since today was the last day of taking Androcur, so I should slowly start experiencing erections.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 23, 2017, 03:44:29 PM
Hey guys,

Wasn't too occupied this night so I thought I would drop a quick update. In one day it will be one month since the surgery. Pain is completely gone, there seems to be a little bit of swelling on the left side of the circumcision. It's not painful at all and it has been getting better day by day. I also still send pictures to Dr. Kuhhas every 2-3 days to check if everything is alright.

I even managed to go for some jogging yesterday. I also plan to eat a lot healthier from now on. In 2 weeks I will have the 6-week follow-up consultation and start using the Phalosaan Forte. I only plan using it for the healing, if the penis gets longer & thicker the better, but I don't want to obsess over it. From the beginning, I just wanted a straight functioning penis and that's what I will go for.

The testosterone levels are said to get back to normal in about 3-4 weeks after stopping using Androcur. I guess that's a good thing since in the first 6 weeks I am not allowed to have erections in the day.

In terms of size reduction, it's hard to tell. In flaccid it seems to be the same and I can't say anything about the erections since I didn't see one freely yet. But again, I won't obsess about the size, I'm happy if it's around average. I just want permanent results and never have to deal with a curved penis again :D

I'll update next week.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: kusher on October 23, 2017, 11:23:07 PM
That's great zoli! We had the surgery on the same period of time. Me too I still have a bit of swelling below the glans. In terms of size, erection, and length it's very early to claim anything. Accurate claims will take place 2 months post operation. Now we are in the healing phase so we just have to wait a bit longer. If you want a quick recovery i recommend you to consume vitamin c as it stimulates collagen production and connective tissues. Tumeric is also good for blood vessels.

All the best
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on October 24, 2017, 09:25:57 AM
Thanks for the suggestion!

I forgot to say this early on. Dr. Kuhhas said that 3 months after the surgery is when the permanent results start to kick in. So basically after those 3 months, the incisions made are healed enough to stay permanent. I asked this in my first consultation regarding the question of permanent results. It is very important for me to fix this problem only once and well.

Cheers.

Hi mst1622,

I did not make any deposits. I payed at the end of the 3 day visit the whole sum. When I got to the hotel everything was reserved on my name, same thing with the private clinic. Maybe the clinic changed the policy or some sort.

Make sure to ask why you have to do it, the staff is very nice and I'm sure they'll clarify everything. Same thing was done with me :)

I wish you all the best.

Unfortunately my insurance did not cover any of the costs, since it it not listed as a insured medical condition in my program. Although I don't know any cases where insurance would pay for it. Anyways, I'd rather pay a lot for best service than try my luck with a public hospital. You don't get many chances with this surgery and the first one is the most important. Any surgeries after that, as reported by the others, will bring more complications.

I agree with zoli..

Unfortunately I had 2 failed nesbit plication.. and luckily for me the stage surgery straightened my penis and fixed the complications that I had from the nesbit. I'm very lucky to have a successful stage surgery after 2 failed nesbit plication. Don't fall into the same trap. Some people go to Kuehhas after multiple attempts and they don't have a successful stage surgery due to the complexity of their situation.. Don't fall into the same trap

Guys, from what I understood it depends on the foreskin as well. Like how long or tight it is. Right off the bat he offered me to save my foreskin, without even asking. I'm pretty sure he has enough experience to be able to do it. So many members of this forum opted for the foreskin spare technique and none of them had any problems with it. I wouldn't worry about this aspect.

Anyways, quick update. Things are going fine, incision line completely healed with 1-2 stiches left which don't bother me at all. Still didn't experience strong erections but in the night it does seem to come more often/strong. With the bandage they're also not painful.

In 1.5 weeks I'll have a follow-up and start traction. I'll update when something will change.

I opted for the foreskin-saving technique with Dr Kuehhas and experienced no issues. It swelled a bit for the few days after the operation but this went away. Foreskin looks and feels normal now for me.

Is Stage surgery done in the US?  Is it incision/grafting vs excision/grafting?
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: qwertyman on October 28, 2017, 10:01:09 PM
As far as I'm aware Dr Kuehhas is the only major performer of the surgery, and he's now based in Vienna.

Dr Nenad from the London Clinic performs the surgery but he was taught by Kuehhas who pioneered the technique with Dr Egydio.

Obviously it's your call, but I'd only go for the best. Franklin performs about 200 - 250 surgeries a year and is excellent at what he does.

Here's a study I also read before the consultation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24165039

I suggest you search around the forum and internet about all techniques. Your decision MUST be well educated.

Also, I've seen that the STAGE technique is starting to be used around more places, which I think is a good think. It means it delivers good results with lesser complications.

Sorry Tsanchez I forgot to answer your question. The STAGE surgery involves making several small excisions on the points of greatest curvature on the skin layer on the tunica albungea. From what I remember these excisions are 3mm x 1mm, so relatively small. He then stitches these excision sites.

These excisions are more targeted than what you would receive in a typical nesbit plication, but essentially it still involves removing some length. With STAGE however the success rate is much much higher, and when you're paying for it you get the aftercare with Dr Kuehhas as well. The man is excellent.

Hey guys,

So almost 6 weeks update with 4 more days remaining. The last day I noticed that the frenulum swelling went down quite significantly. Don't think that is was very swelled, it was more like a bit larger than normal. Like 20% non painful swelling. The whole frenulum reattachment part of the glans was swollen a bit, now it is quite a bit less. These parts weren't painful but quite sensitive. It seems things are slowly getting back to 100% normal visually as well.

No erections in the day, although in the night I think I can tell in the morning that I've been having erections looking at the size of it. It looks much bigger but not in the erect state. When I have erections and it goes flaccid it's like large flaccid for a bit of time and that's what I see in the morning so I'm pretty sure I've been getting close to full erections in the night. They are not painful.

In a few days I'll have my 6 week post-op consultation where the doc will check out if everything is alright and will start using the Phallosan. If the target is 3 hours a day I'll do 1.5h in the morning and 1.5h in the evening. Also, in term of months I probably won't use it more than 4-5 months since I don't care about getting more size than what I had. It's time consuming and I want to get back to normal activities. Although if it does help, I'm glad to reserve my time for it for the necessary time.

I'm a bit anxious how the erection looks and I do expect to see it in the coming weeks. Androcur is said to wear off in the coming 2 weeks completely so we'll see then. Although considering the erections in the night they're most likely very straight :D

I'll give an update after the consultation and some other updates about the experience using Phallosan.

Other than that, in the past weeks I have been feeling perfectly fine, it's as if I never had the surgery. Except not having sex and some little circumcision swelling everything is perfect.

Cheers,
Zoli

Quick update,

It has been 6 weeks and a day since the surgery so now I am no longer required to hold off erections. The doctor did instruct me to use the night dressings until I see him, that is tomorrow.

Although I have been having some erections in the night and sometimes very small ones in the day, none of them proved me anything. Today, since it has been a bit more than 6 weeks from the op, I "encouraged" myself to get a bigger erection. I think I got to about 60-70% and it was perfectly straight! I remember that in the past at this point it already started to curve quite a bit. Also no pain experienced. Didn't go further, it was just a quick test since I'll get further instruction from the doc tomorrow.

I'm quite happy right now and eagerly look for the next 2 weeks. Also the size didn't seem to go down too much, maybe a bit less than 1cm. Although I did the the permanent bandage off a bit sooner (per doc's instructions of course).

I'm a bit anxious about using Phallosan, I've read that a few people had problems using it and could damage the penis. I absolutely do NOT want that to happen so I will talk about all my fears with the doc. Either way, I won't be using it for 6 months, more like 3-4. I don't care about the size being bigger than I was before.

Anyways, all good :)

Cheers.

Hey guys,

Just had the 6week follow up with the doc. He thoroughly examined the penis and said everything was fine. There is some hardness at the circumcision line which is from the vicodin that still has to dissolve in the next period. It doesn't bother me or anything and said it is normal for circumcision cases.

He showed me how to use the PF and it is uncomfortable but not painful. Although I only used it for a couple of minutes.

I will use it for 2-3 months and gradually go up to 1-3 hours a day.

It will ONLY help with retraction, won't help or do bad to the actual result of the surgery. Just speeds the retraction process up.

What can I say, in the coming weeks I'll experiment with erections and madturbations and start using the stretching device.

I'll update at the next significant event.

Cheers.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on November 11, 2017, 01:50:07 PM
Big update:

After I got green light for erection after the visit, I starting testing things out. I have masturbated and the pain was minimal. The erection was super strong and completely straight. Although my libido is still a bit low since the androcur, I had no problems getting an erection. The penis looks great and I even got extra girth since the surgery :)

To me this was a huge breakthrough, seeing the full erection and also having good sexual activity. Feels like 99% back to normal. Actually, there's no more normal since I have to get used to being circumcised, but this will come in time. Now I have to use lube like in the movies lol.

I'm very happy with the result and now I only have to use PF for the next 2-3 months. Today is the first day and I'll gradually go up to 1-3 hours a day.

I'll give an update in 2 weeks to give my results with the PF. Even in the current situation, I'm happy with the length and girth so if retraction breaks as well then all the better.

Cheers.

Post by: zoli1995 on November 13, 2017, 06:35:25 AM
Started using Phallosan. It is quite a bit uncomfortable and you have to figure out which size and condom combination is best for you. I started with the small one because the medium one was a little bit larger, but it was very difficult to remove it. So now I use a combination of them small condom but the medium head and it's ok.

I think it's helping although I haven't seen clear improvements yet. I guess in about 2 weeks I will get some better results and also when I use it a bit more. I'm now at about 15-20 minutes of usage only.

Erections are quite strong, although I still have to get used to them. There is a very small curve of 5 degrees but everyone has experienced this and the doctor also said I can expect it. So I don't worry about it and I'm sure it will resolve. It's also very small, you have to really examine it to notice the curve.

I just though to drop this update in the first days of using the PF so that people know what to expect at the beginning. I never used or planned to use a stretching system like this so for me this was quite weird but you get used to it and it does seem to help, especially based on what others have reported.

Also, sensation on the penis is great. Except the circumcision, sensation is absolutely the same which is great.

When having an orgasm, I still feel a bit of tension along the shaft, it's not really pain it's just a bit weird. I'll just probably have to get used to the new form of the penis and maybe when the stitches will continue to desolve this will go away. But yet again, this doesn't bother me and everything works OK.

Hi kusher,

It's not very difficult, you just have to follow the instructions and you'll get used to it. Well obviously it's best if you manage to get a consultation, he will also check if everything else is alright, but it's not a must. I think you can do a Skype consultation as well.

Is there anybody who used Phallosan not only after the surgery but much longer in order to increase a penis size?

Dr Kuehhas has written to me that is right it increases penis size, but that is not the purpose of the Stage surgery... but what about using this device for a long time after the Stage?
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: Jonbinspain on November 15, 2017, 08:47:20 AM
I had surgery with Dr Kuehhas 2 yrs ago now. I still use the Phallosan occasionally. It helps maintain blood flow and erection quality.

It will increase penis size marginally if used 4-6 hours per day over several months. But don't expect your dick to double in size like some claim on these penis enlargement forums. It ain't gonna happen!

2 inches sound like a miracle. Is it possible?  :o

Well, now I'm 16cm on the shorter side and I will be 100% happy if I will get 17cm after the Stage surgery with Franklin. Is it a realistic goal or my chances are minimal?

The stage surgery wont increase the size of the penis, if your 16cm on your short side that is the size of your penis.

@kusher: please don't confuse members of Forum. I had stage with Dr. Kuehhas and we never talked of 2 inch. It is also not possible. Phallosan is used for good healing. I used it. It was easy after some time.

@ mst1622: you have good length. Don't worry to much of length. Having a straight penis is most important. Dr. Kuehhas is the best and he has helped many of us. Go and see him. He will make you straight.

Yeah, I know it, but after the surgery we can use the Phallosan Forte. I wonder if after the surgery it is possible to increases the size by stretching with PF.

Thanks for the answers. I've booked the Stage with Franklin on the 26th of January 2018 :) He is great doctor indeed.

As DanP says, 2 inches is, shall we say, ambitious!  If you get a permanent gain of 2 cm you've done better than most.

I had Egydio surgery for Peyronie's. The Phallosan and VED both helped me get back the majority of the length I had before.
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: kusher on November 16, 2017, 04:51:56 AM
No confusion whatsoever.. stage surgery creates retraction... the retraction could be 1 or 2 inches which you can break through the PF device. I didn't say u can gain 1 or 2 inches from your original length and size. I did my stage surgery on 28 Sep. I had 16cm length now 13cm. With the usage of the device I'll gain my lost length like everyone on this forum. Will start using the device today when I meet dr Kuehhas. Danp the guy is not a virgin case so don't give him false expectations.. He will most likely experience retraction but he will be able to tackle it with the device
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on November 16, 2017, 10:39:30 AM
Hey guys,

I'd like to note that my retraction was very small, around 1-2cm only. I think the frequent stretching and correctly using the night dressing (really stretching the penis and keeping it that way) helped a lot with this. Of course the Phallosan will break it completely, but that's just my take.

And yes, the sort of surgery that removes parts of the tunica will only make the penis as long as the opposite, shorter side. It could LOOK longer because it is not curved anymore, since the curved part will be straight, if that makes sense. Also, you will probably gain a bit of girth since the inner corpus cavernosum will expand in width rather than length. I actually experienced this. The gain is not huge though.

Hi guys,

So it has been almost 4 months since the surgery. The penis is perfectly straight in the morning after using Phallossan in the night, in the day there is about a 3-5 degree downwards curve. I blame it on the retraction, but it's becoming better.

Erections, sensation and everything is much better. It really put my mind and sexual life to ease and I regret nothing. It has been hands down the most difficult thing I went through, the surgery the cost and everything. But it has been 100% worth it.

I can still feel the sutures a bit, but I can tell they are becoming smaller week by week.

I keep using Phallossan between 1-2 hours a day and plan using it for up to 6 months, as indicated.

The little curve doesn't concern me, since I know in the morning how straight it is. The curve, in the day, doesn't always appear, so it might be that I just don't have a 100% erection. Either way, it doesn't bother me or stop me from having normal intercourse, so I don't care about it.

Thank you guys, without this forum I wouldn't have even known what to do. This way, from the experience of others, I could find a very good doctor who would fix my case. I consider myself cured.

I will always check the forum from time to time and try to help others with my experience.

Cheers.

Hello ! Congratulations on your operation!
I'll just have a few questions, what did you feel when you had the penis bent you had pain?
And how it posed sexual difficulties because your curvature did not seem huge (45 ° of what you told me).
Title: Re: STAGE Surgery with Dr. Kuehhas
Post by: zoli1995 on January 09, 2018, 07:22:28 PM
Hi,

Penetration was not 100%, so I could not fully enjoy sex so to speak. Also position problems, the way I felt about it and maybe my partners felt about were making me feel not good about it. Also looking back and now that my erections are stronger I think that was a problem too, but it felt normal at that time. This has been a great decision overall.

Also thanks!

hi guys
i have researched the forum for quite a bit. i have a 60 degrees ventral curvature. i am 29 years old. it has bothered me since i had sex for the first time. and i am sick of the current situation. i live in munich and have seen some local urologist here. i did not have the impression that they knew what they were talking. especially when i asked them about side effects of penile surgery. i have had the impression that they did not want to talk about this topic with me. this has pulled me off a few times from surgery.
the forum has given me hope again. your stories are convincing and i would like to do something about my curvature. dr kuehhas works in vienna and munich is not to far away. i wanted to ask you if the recovery was painful or if you encountered any problems. i am a bit afraid that something bad will happen and i am not next to the doctor... how was your experience? how have you been in touch with the doctor? did you have any follow ups and problems?
thanks you for the answers, i am looking forward to them.

Hi guys,

It's been nearly 5 months post-op and everything is great. Erection very good, no pain, sensitivity back to where it was completely. There is a remaining 5 degrees upwards curvature, which appeared in the last few days. It's probably since the dissolve sutures are going away. From what I understand sargus experienced this too, but he has said that for quite a few weeks at least this hasn't changed. Either way, I'm happy about it and 5-10 residual degrees wouldn't worry me a bit. My initial upwards curvature was 30 degrees, so it wasn't too much, it was the leftwards that made things difficult (45) which is 100% gone.

I've used Phallosan 4 months everyday and since a few days I'm using it a bit more rarely. I guess I'll use it until the last condom breaks then I'll never use it again, as I already feel like I got to my desired results.

Good thing about STAGE is that you remain with nothing in your penis, meaning those sutures dissolve. All you're left with are a few small, unnoticable scars that are there because the longer side was shortened.

I'll make another update in about a month, which would be the 6month post-op. I already don't feel the sutures, only some very small flat bumps, so I guess those sutures are kind of gone by now.

All in all I am very satisfied and compared to a year ago I am much happier. Thanks again guys, without this forum I wouldn't have done it.

Post by: zoli1995 on April 08, 2018, 07:25:24 AM
Hi guys,

So it has been more than 6 months now and the stiches should be all dissolved by now. The curve that I mentioned is now standing at about 10 degrees upwards and to the left a bit less. It hasn't changed since a few weeks now. This is at a full erection only. Other than that, everything is perfect. There is no pain, sensitivity is great, sex and everything is great.

I must say I was a bit unnerved about the curve reappearing, but it is quite small and I consider it natural. What I had, 40 degrees and more did make sex difficult, but this doesn't.

Either way, I am satisfied with the result and I think it was completely worth it. Based on my experience, I can recommend STAGE surgery and Dr. Kuhhas.

All the best!
