Changing the cylinders only - how long?

[body2body]

Hello

my implant seems a bit undersized and ONE possible possibility would be adding something to the tip or exchanging the implant itself.

Of course I am a bit hesitating due to the long time and pain I have gone through with the first surgery.

Or is this much easier because "only" the cylinders must be exchanged and pump and reservoir can stay in place? Or will it be almost the same with 6 weeks "no touch" etc.?

Thanks a lot

When you cycle do you get NO pain in the tips? If you get any, I would think you are still stretching effectively. Upsizing will require a whole replacement though sometimes they use the old reservoir… but recovery should always be a little easier each time.

Yes adding a tip is entirely possible and recovery is much faster. Not sure that having 4cm rte is ideal to be honest. 3cm is the usual upper limit that most surgeons go for. But if you want to save time and money, that is a solution
