Documenting my Journey as a 30 year old Asian - Korean Surgeon

[Discovernew]

Update after 10 months:

What a journey it's been. Not checking into this forum as often now but will give an update. The implant feels like a part of my body now. I'm still inflating for about 15 minutes a day regularly. The tubing protrusion hasnt bothered me for awhile and no one I've had sex with could tell that I have an implant. I can get to 100% within 20 seconds by pumping.

Regularly enjoying sex now and it's lifted a heavy mental weight. I'm super happy with it. I think I still have some ways to go until the implant fully adapts to the corpora, since I still have a bit of a dog ear on the left side even when fully inflated, but my surgeon assures me that it will get better with time and the corpora can expand up to 2 years post op.

The first few weeks of recovery now feels like a dream from a long time ago. I'm satisifed and am happy with my sex life, and the fact that I can have sex whenever I want makes my guy friends jealous.

It really changed my life and I know that a revision surgery is all I would need in the future to have erections reliabily throughout my life time. Blessed that this surgery is available during our lifetime!!

I regained my pre-op length and girth about 6 months post op. No complaints there.

For anyone struggling, I highly recommend at least talking to a high volume implanter about it. Life is too short to be hindered by this problem!

Hi Nixtex! thanks for sharing an update.

Some questions:

1- Did you end up doing that revision for tubing or not at all?
2- Did you get subcoronal incision? I know Park is famous for doing this type of incision. And were you circumcised or not? I am curious how it works out for patients who are not circumcised.
3- Where is your pump located? in the front or back of the testicles? And higher or lower? Are you happy with the pump placement?

cheers

1. I did not do the revision for tubing. The doctor says some protrusion is normal and its the part that can't be trimmed because its not the part that leads to the pump. During sex, it hasnt been noticeable to partners. So I'm not worried about it anymore.

2. No, for my particular situation he did penoscrotal instead. But he primarily does subcoronal.

3. Back of right testicle. very well concealed and perfectly lined up with where my testicle is. Again, unnoticeable during sex. The pump placement is something I'm super happy about.

Thanks for sharing nixtex.

Why did he do penoscrotal in your case? Was it your personal request, or did he explain why?

And was it vertical or horizontal penoscrotal?

By the way, I heard that park let's patients go home the same day, is it true? And how did you get you feel about it? What type of anesthesia was used?

Finally, if it was out of pocket, can I ask approximate price with Dr Park?

Cheers

Vertical Penoscrotal. His decision to go with it is based on his expert opinion so I didn’t question it. It was about $25k usd.

I went to my hotel the same day. Local anesthesia was used to sedation!

Sorry maybe I shouldn’t say it’s dog ear. It’s more like a little bump on my cylinder when fully inflated that needs more corpora room to expand as my girth increases from inflation exercises. It’s not sharp or anything.
