I was implanted on the 1st of Sept. Everything till now has gone perfect. No pain, minimal swelling, very fast recovery. Too good to be true!
The only issue I am facing is that on the RHS the tubing seems to be protuding for about an inch. There is no pain but the penis in the faccid state becomes bent due to the pressure of this protusion.
My surgeon says it would look less pronounced as time goes by. This was not there in the initial days following the surgery.
Shd I be worried? Has anybody else faced a similar issue?

Re: tubing is protuding
I was implanted a day after you, congrats. I have that on rt side as well. I was told to keep pulling down on the pump and yes i was concerned! I pull on it in a hot shower and finally it came down, the tube straightened out. It will find a different way to bend in your sac over time, the two tubes on the left are tight against the tube body at base of dic and i think that also will loosen over time, im hoping! When i sit down the sac and tube are pushed up, normal, you can see the tube again on rt side. When my sac is warm it stays down, but when cold it raises it up. Im not to concerned as my pump tilts to the left nut but doesn't bother nut too often unless I sit on it. It should be getting softened up by now, mine has. Got 2 1/2 weeks to lift off with uro, cant wait to see what it looks like! Im a fine one to say this, but patients! We'll be raising the barn roof soon.

Re: tubing is protuding
Ask your uro, but i was told to gently pull down and hold it there for a few minutes or as long as you can take and eventually it should rest in the bottom of the sac .depending on your circumstances you should consult uro if its ok. They put it in and know what you can or cant do. Mine came down, but when i sit it pushes it back up and when i stand again it drops. Dont tug hard on it, its still new.
