1 Month Post Implant - Results Meh

[Irish Lad 34]

Hi mate,

I just wanted to chime in because a lot of what you’re describing resonates with things I’ve felt earlier in my own recovery, and I think it’s completely valid to feel unsettled by the trade-offs at this stage.

You’re only a month out, though, and honestly this seems like one of those really awkward middle phases where the implant is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do mechanically, but the tissues, skin, and brain haven’t caught up yet. The “plastic” feel, odd flaccid behaviour, oval shape, thin-looking neck under the glans, all of that shows up repeatedly in early Titan recoveries. It doesn’t mean it’s permanent, just unfinished.

One thing others have mentioned here is that girth, especially in the distal half, is slow. Length often comes back quickly once cycling starts, but girth lags behind and can look worse before it looks better. The skin also takes time to re-drape and thicken again, which makes everything feel more artificial early on.

The flaccid issue is particularly jarring. Going from a natural flaccid to an early Titan “always semi” can really mess with your head and it’s not something most of us are warned about properly. From what I’ve been told, that usually improves a lot as the cylinders soften, the tissues relax, and you get more control over deflation.

I completely get the sense of loss you’re describing. It’s hard not to compare everything to a natural erection, especially when you remember how that used to feel. But from what I’m seeing, and what guys further along keep repeating, month one is way too early to judge shape, girth, or how “you” it feels.

You’re healing well, you’re cycling, and the mechanics are working. That’s actually the hard part done. The rest is slow, frustrating, and very non-linear.

I hope you stick around and keep updating. Posts like yours are important because they show the messy middle, not just the victory laps. And I genuinely think you’ll feel very differently a few months down the line.

All the best, and thanks for being honest about how it feels right now.

Hey bro. Thanks for chiming in I'll stick around and make sure I update my posts.

Can you link me a few other posts where people have written about losing/regaining girth in the distal half of the penis?

So I’m still early along in the recovery process, 10 days postop from an AMS CX, but I too am surprised by the semi boner in the new flaccid state. I guess I was expecting it to be completely flat when deflated. Instead, it’s like a 30%-40% chub. I was worried that maybe there was something wrong with the valves and I wasn’t able to completely deflate because it still feels quite hard but reading these messages, maybe this is just the new normal. Or maybe (hopefully) it’ll start to soften overtime once I start cycling. I guess there are worse problems to have than hiding a bulge (like being limp when you’ve got a woman naked in bed and she’s begging for it) but at the same time, it’s a little uncomfortable to be stuffing this into my pants and walking around. We’ll see what happens next…

Hang in there bro. In the past few days I've seen big changes in terms of pain, discomfort and how the flacid feels. When you start cycling try get used to pointing it downwards or sideways and try get used to walking and wearing different outfits. I returned to the office for work in office trousers on Tuesday this week. It was unbearably sore and uncomfortable. I pointed the penis sort of sideways and hid behind a long coat fully zipped all day. I was so sore that I could not get out of bed for 2 days and went back to working from home, literally from bed. This weekend I've been moving around and wearing different underwear and I'm finding the pain and discomfort is mostly all gone and the flacid is now a bit after and easier to push down in tighter underwear, although still not ideal, but a lot more comfortable than what it was a few days ago.

I’m coming up on 10 months post op, so a bit ahead of you. But still recent enough I remember the immediate post op period clearly.

My experience is that the flaccid will soften and begin to hang more naturally. It won’t feel so uncomfortable to get it to pack away. It won’t appear quite so erect when it is deflated.

The size and shape will continue to change with cycling. I can’t tell you exactly how, each of us is different. But it will continue to change.

But the shape will be different than before. I was told that would be the case. I was told to expect it would become the new “me”.

That is starting to be the case for me. My flaccid and my erect are becomeing “me”. They don’t seem so foreign anymore.

And damn…. It is DEFINITELY VERY functional. LOL. It is a bit of a super power now and I’m enjoying the hell out of that.

I'm sure I will adjust to it eventually just as you have and I'll find ways to embrace it but it will take time. I just have to accept that I have an implant now. I don't think I'll ever be a big fan of the flatter oval shape but I'll learn to adjust to it. I will probably consider things like penis sleeves and fillers in due course.

May I ask - when you're fully inflated for sex are you able to bend the penis or curve it a little for different positions? You know the way a natural erection does that.
