I did the shots and could no results at all except for a semi-firm chubby and quite a bit of pain from the mixture that was injected. The injections were not painful and the trimix came from a place called MenMD in st. pete fla about 125.00 a bottle good for 12-18 injections depending on your dose. I ended up with a Rigicon malleable implant, it has a lifetime warranty, bends downwards 135 degrees. I'm 70 since it is a one piece implant more than likely at my age it will be the only one I will ever need. Many of the 3 piece implants have issues over time and need complete replacements or revisions .. I'll assume the goal of any type of treatmment is to keep you sexualy in the game, your choices are limited but medicare or at least me medicare advantage plan paid for mine.
