My OTR has always required the button to be depressed while deflating. Even if "one touch" allowed the valve to remain open, it would only deflate until the pressure was equalized between reservoir and cylinders, which is probably 50% deflation. So yes, holding the button and squeezing the...

Did you check with Dr Eid?
He had AMS available when I saw him in 2017. If not now, he could likely refer you to other surgeons in the area.

I think this is also why there are stories here (which I cannot confirm) that he has been experimenting with trimming the fixed rear part of the implant . So instead of e.g. using a 22 cm + 1 cm RTE, he will go for 24 cm implant and trim off 1 cm. This will shorten the fixed part with 2 cm, increas...
