1 Month Post Implant - Results Meh

[Irish Lad 34]

I'm 1 month out from penoscrotal implant surgery. Fitted with a Coloplast Titan 20cm + 1cm RTE by Rowland Rees in London. Age 35.

I have probably healed well. No signs of infection or serious complications. I'm still a bit sore at times, but I think I'm well on the way to recovery. I started cycling 9 days ago.

I'm not jumping for joy with the implant although I can see now it will function very well, as in, it will be able to penetrate a vagina. It most definitely seems like a downgrade from a normal penis.

- The deflated penis very much annoys me because it's not like a flacid at all. It points out. It's stiff and hard and feels like plastic. It has to be forced into an uncomfortable position so that it does not look like an inappropriate erection in public.

- I have lost girth and the shape of the penis has changed. At the base I might be marginally wider than what I was pre-op. Mid shaft marginally smaller, but upper half of the shaft I've lost 0.5 inches. Down from appx 4.4 to 3.9 inches in the upper end. The upper left hand side has caved in. The consequence is when I'm pumped up and fully engorged the "neck" of the penis now looks very thin compared to the swollen glans. Length is only slightly shorter than what I had before; maximum with glans engorgement about 6.1 inches BP down from 6.3. Length doesn't concern me, but girth and shape do. Erect penis is now flatter, more oval and doesn't have that nice natural dimension of a natural erection.

- The penis feels more plastic and less meaty. The skin doesn't engorge the way it used to. It used to show visible veins and it had a nice warm pulsating feeling. Now it just looks and feels more like thin skin spread over an implant.

The positives are that it's easy to get an on demand erection that stays hard, but I just don't like the trade offs.

I'm looking into getting filler to make the shape a bit better and to fill in the upper half where I've lost girth. It would be nice to get some sort of soft padding between the skin and the implant.

I'm wondering will VED help puff out the skin a bit the way it used to pre-implant?

You are just 4 weeks after surgery, it's too early to make such negative conclusions,
Just wait and relax!!!!!
The best is, your recovery is going well, you'll start cycling, so the girth and lenght will increase and after a year! you'll will be able to estimate, if you have lost any lenght or girth.
The sensitivity will come back and when you'll start having sex, you'll will see what kind of super-power you've won!

Please don't make any conclusion after 4 weeks, you are still in the recovery.

I totally get that, I still have a bit of healing to do.

But I already started daily cycling. I haven't lost much length. It was shorter before I started cycling but after 1 or 2 cycles the implant unfolded like an accordion and now I am close enough to what I had before surgery regarding length. However girth is not increasing at all, and shape is more oval. I'll definitely give it more time though.
