Re: leak after revision

Yea good point , I was just thinking it is probably on the low pressure side between the reservoir which like you said already has a splice. If it were on the high pressure side of the pump it would have ran out of fluid way before the two months. Also once I pumped it up it wouldn’t loose pressure ...

Re: leak after revision

I had a follow up appointment with my dr and it was confirmed with a ct scan that the reservoir was empty and there was fluid outside indicating a leak . Unfortunately due to life and work schedule I won’t be able to get in for him to fix it until the 23rd of April. Hopefully it is something simple ...

Re: leak after revision

It’s more like a tummy tuck with the lip added . I had a 22cm by 10cm section of the fat pad cut out and removed.

Re: leak after revision

I totally agree I wish he replaced the whole thing but I think he was worried about getting another serious infection like I had a couple years ago . He told me that that is the biggest infection risk is in the scrotum. When I went in for the revision I was under the impression he was installing the...

Re: leak after revision

I hope so too as I like the way that the cylinders are positioned. I am hoping it is a connector or something they can get too easy and just recrimp and refill.

Re: leak after revision

A couple weeks after the revision it would pump up to max hardness and then be flat , I was thinking that there just was no more fluid . I was alright at that point because it would get to max hardness. Over the last month I have slowly gotten less hard when the pump starts too go flat. I am probabl...

Re: leak after revision

Hrc714 Did they replace the whole thing or just the failed component ? I had similar issues. I noticed that the number of pumps till flat was getting less and less. Eventually I could only get to 80% hard. When Dr confirmed leak and scheduled surgery for 4 months out, I just left myself at the 80% h...

leak after revision

I had a revision back in January were they changed the cx implant with a lgx and also removed the fat pad above my penis infrapubicly.
