I’m recently implanted, five weeks old. I have noticed that I have started getting a bit of a bend in the cylinder on one side.
I think it’s from where it’s flaccid. There is a bend which happens naturally from where my penis is hanging. It seems to then be getting worse when I inflate it to the point where my penis is bending to one side and I have a bump in the cylinder, which doesn’t go away when it’s fully inflated.
Is this something that others have experienced?

Kinks/bends in implant
35 year old. Suffering ED most of my life, psychological. Pills didn’t work, injections were not spontaneous enough for my sexlife and the 2h erection afterwards HURT.
Implanted with AMS 700 LGX 12mm x 21cm

Wait untill you are cleared for sex to test axial rigidity because if it's truely a kink caused by a fibrous band that might compromise rigidity and cause buckling at the spot of the kink....usually Titan is prefered for fibrotic tunica over AMS...because the sturdier cylinders of the titan is needed to push or fight back fibrotic spots..also this might also be insufficient and extra scratching/carving is needed at that spot....so I recommed watchful waiting and giving cycling the chance to even out that kink as it might resolve on its' own...if not (god forbid) you might wanna need to do an mri and evaluate what is causing the kink..only if it really affects axial rigidity.
May I ask who is your surgeon ?

Re: Kinks/bends in implant
Thanks, it’s Ralph in the UK. As it stands the procedure has been a success with quick recovery, so I think he’s done a very good job.
I have some increasing anxiety about losing girth, I’m thinner now than I was but I am praying cycling starts showing some progress over the coming weeks.
Regarding the divot/slight bump in the cylinder, I am wondering whether it might be to do with the malleability of the cylinder at this stage. The area in question is where the implant folds or bends when it is deflated (where I get some bunching up / I can feel dog ears under the skin). Could it be that the cylinder has just become more flexible in that spot and the rest of the implant will in time?
Sorry some of these questions may be obvious to many of the readers here!

Yeah Dr.Ralph is tip top.. I doubt that a cylinder has a weak spot...cylinders are uniformly made of the same material..and a manufactural defect with cylinders is very unusual..I think what you need is regular cycling and watchful waiting...cycling usually evens out tunical irregularities.
