Any Dr Eid’s patients?

I was trying to find out from the guys that went to Dr. Eid. I found this video of him online about early activation.

https://youtu.be/2mlLlwDDYsIMy question is. Does he not use stitches/sutures? My doc says no hot bath until post op day 10 and no pump activation until 4 weeks. Did the hot bath not make your incision all yucky and soft?

Yes he uses waterproof sutures specifically so that you can take hot baths early as he recommends. I would absolutely not have a bath until your doc recommends it

I was implanted by Dr. Eid in January 2020. He used woven sutures (not like monofilament) to close the incision, then used an adhesive to keep the wound closed and waterproof. I heard the adhesive referred to as Dermabond. After surgery, I was told to start taking hot baths within a few days, maybe 2 or 3.
When the sutures were removed in his office nearly 2-1/2 weeks after being implanted, the nurse removed the stitches then applied Dermabond on the fresh wounds left behind in the holes the sutures came out of. BTW, Dermabond feels like lava was splashed on my sack. It burned like mad for about 10 minutes.
I am a big fan of Dr. Eid, as a doctor, as a surgeon, and as a man. He is a warm and caring man who is extremely competent and very skilled at my successful surgery with virtually no bruising nor swelling. I was cycling within 4 days, then using using my new-found apparatus for its intended purpose within 3 weeks with no complications since.
Dr. Eid gets my highest recommendation.
