  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Round 2

Second round on 2/7 for 10 syringes to get back to original peak from swelling.

More pain this time but fine after day 1.
This is 1 day post follow-on so results include swelling

Girth is now 6.25-6.75” will monitor and then share final results.

1-week post

1 week post- some updates that are a little saddening but overall news is still very positive.
My Initial results were inflated due to swelling.

New results are +0.75” - + 1.0” (still very good)

Girth before 4.5”-5.2”
Girth now 5.5”-5.95”

Still happy but now debating if I go for 2nd treatment. Before it was like super perfect at 6-6.2.

Even Better Than Expected

Thought about procedure for sometime but was always out of reach due to lack of US options.

Stumbled upon Shafer clinic by random chance. Followed up with my own review of academic studies showing viability of this approach.

Decided to move forward.

Clinic, staff, and doctor:
All Excellent

Day of procedure:
Really easy, less painful than a flu shot but takes 20-30 minutes. Post procedure a little thicker but was flaccid so hard to gauge.

Day after:
Wow! First time taking off the tube bandages while hard to ensure smoothness. Size impact is stunning. Pain is mild, only took 1x200 mg Motrin the night before.

Length: 6.5” BP erect
Before thickness: 4.5” - 5.2” erect depending on location on shaft.
After thickness (day 1): 6.0” - 6.2” erect
Gain is 1.0” - 1.5”

Procedure: 15 syringe Volux

Perspective so far:
Visual appeal: very good, but not as good as pre-procedure due to proportions (the only ‘downside’). This is not due to doctor it’s just the length to thickness ratio.
Visual impact: excellent, much thicker
Sensitivity: increased, surprisingly
Overall: highly satisfied so far
