Just Did It: Bionic & Filler

[Headair123]

Thank you, everyone.

It is wonderful to be in the midst of such a supportive group.

Here is a quick update from today October 19, 2025.

My doctor saw me on a Sunday (very awesome of him). He checked on the tube and the bulb and decided to wait till tomorrow before deciding on the removal of the bulb.

We also discussed the actual surgery itself. He actually took close to 7 hours in the OR. This is really my fault. The fact that I had silicone filler under my penile skin and scrotum skin has caused a number of issues. I had significant scar tissue which had to be navigated properly. Really, my doctor is a hero; he chose to do the right thing by not cutting any corners.

As a result, of the highly unique medical circumstances, the doctor wants to take things slowly. So, there will be a lot of visits and observations. He warned me that my recovery is likely to be slower than one hopes for.

But, I am optimistic, I am already recovery very, very quickly from the bicycle accident that mangled my left ribs, clavicle, scapula and lung. My orthopedic surgeon and my PT guy are both very impressed with my recovery. So, maybe I can recover through the IPP just as quickly.

But, I am going to be careful. This body part happens to be very dear to us on this board.

Separate from the above, the combination of the antibiotics and pain medication is making me nauseous. So, the doc prescribed some meds to handle that.

Next step is to keep on measuring the fill rate of the bulb (twice a day). As soon as it tapers off, the tube comes out. Maybe tomorrow (Monday). Maybe Tuesday.

Another important update:

The doctor cleared to remove the wrap and take my first shower today.

The doctor confirmed that cylinders are only 30% inflated.

I just remove the wrap. You can still see the Kleenex leftovers that I used to reduce the chaffing. You can also see the drain tube.

Did not lose any girth. If anything, I have more flaccid girth. But, I suspect that this swelling that will go away in the near future.

Bone-pressed measurement of my flaccid length. 6.5"? This is longer than my normal flaccid. Score! On the down side, my fat pad seems to have swollen after the surgery. Crap.


The good news is that there seems to be very acceptable level of bruising on my penis.


The important things going forward is to ice and keep the missile pointing upwards.

Wow, 7 hours is a long time to be in the OR. The area looks good though. I was really bruised all over. It looked like somebody had use my nuts as a punching bag. Congrats, I'm at a little over four weeks and have been just taking easy per doc instructions. Very hard for me to do by the way as I am a very active person. So, just take it easy you don't want that reservoir herniating or anything else herniating on you. I am anxiously looking forward to my cycling date of Nov. 4.!

you say its at 30% inflated in the pic.

Just imagine how even at 70% it will feel and look

Good Luck Bro
