Pre and Post-Treatment Instructions
Male girth enhancement, a popular procedure aimed at increasing penile girth, has seen growing interest in recent years. As with any medical procedure, careful preparation before treatment and adherence to post-treatment instructions are critical to ensuring successful outcomes and minimizing potential complications.
Pre-Treatment Instructions: Preparing for the Procedure
- Consultation: A pre-treatment consultation will allow you to understand the procedure, the expected results, potential risks, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for male girth enhancement.
- Medical History: It’s crucial to provide your practitioner with a detailed medical history, including any allergies, previous surgeries, medications, or underlying health conditions.
- Medications: Certain medications, especially blood thinners and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), may need to be discontinued several days before the procedure to minimize the risk of bleeding and bruising.
- Smoking and Alcohol: If you smoke, it’s recommended to quit or reduce smoking at least two weeks before the procedure, as it can impede healing. Also, avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours before treatment.
Post-Treatment Instructions: After the Procedure
- Recuperation: Although most patients can return to daily activities almost immediately, it’s generally recommended to rest and avoid strenuous physical activities for a couple of days post-procedure.
- Sexual Activity: Abstain from sexual activity for a few days (5-7days) to allow the treated area to heal and to minimize the risk of infection.
- Swelling and Discomfort: Some swelling, discomfort, or bruising around the treated area is normal. These should subside within a week. Over-the-counter pain relief such as Tylenol can be used. Nodularity or lumpiness may be present for 2-3 weeks.
- Hygiene: Keep the treated area clean with soap and water to avoid infection. Avoid scrubbing or applying pressure to the area during washing. Apply a topical antibiotic 2-3 times daily.
- Touch-up Treatments: Remember that the results from girth enhancement procedures using dermal fillers are not permanent and typically last between 18 months to 2 years. Regular touch-up treatments may be required to maintain the enhancements.
Conclusion
Proper adherence to pre- and post-treatment instructions plays a crucial role in the success of a male girth enhancement procedure. While this blog post provides general guidelines, it’s essential to follow the specific instructions given at the time of your consultation and after the procedure, as they will be tailored to your unique situation.
