Calayan's Deformed Penis Enlargement Case

A 34-year-old man has filed a P26-million suit against cosmetic surgeons Manny and Pie Calayan for doing a penis enlargement operation on him that he claims left him with a deformed organ that he could not use for sex because it was painful.

He also said the aqua gel used in the operation has spread in his penis and could be give him a tumor.

In a complaint filed at the Makati City Prosecutors Office, Louem Martinez, 34, complained of being "physically incapacitated" and "mentally devastated."

"The man who wants P26 million in damages from cosmetic surgeons Manny and Pie Calayan probably did not follow medical instructions – that's why his penis became deformed and is constantly in pain."

-That was the reaction of Dr. Manny Calayan to accusations of Louem Martinez...

The aqua gel used in the operation – done to add girth to the penis – is safe, Calayan insisted, belying the claim of Martinez that the substance could be cancerous.

The Calayans have also filed countercharges of unjust vexations and perjury against Martinez.

Calayan added that his wife – Dr. Rosario "Pie" Calayan – should not have been included in the suit because she had nothing to do with the operation, according to report filed on Friday by Susan Enriquez for 24 Oras, GMA Network's early evening newscast.

"I've been doing this for year na," Calayan said. "Walang nagiging problema. Bakit? Kasi sumusunod sa akin (I've been doing this for years already. There have been no problems. Why? Because my patients follow my instructions)."

The Calayans have already filed their counter-affidavits at the Makati City Prosecutors Office, where Martinez filed his complaint against them last February 26.

Martinez also filed criminal cases of reckless imprudence resulting to serious physical injury and obstruction of justice against the Calayans, who own and operate the Calayan SurgiCenter in Legaspi Village, Makati.

In his counter-affidavit, Calayan said he had explained the procedure to Martinez thoroughly and warned him of the risks.

"I did not, during the consultation, guarantee to the Complainant the success of the penile enlargement procedure nor the results thereof," Calayan said in his counter-affidavit. "Instead, I carefully explained to the Complainant the nature and effects of the operation as well as the risks, ramifications and complications involved in the surgical procedure, including the possibility of penile deformity in the event that the instructions of the surgeon are not carefully followed."

In her separate counter-affidavit, Dr. Pie Calayan said there was no factual or legal basis to hold her liable for the crimes she was being accused of.

She said she had never met the patient, much less given him advice or any opinion on the surgery. She also did not participate in the surgery. - GMANews.TV
