New Coloplast Titan with Dr Taj

[xbd007]

Week 3 checkup and staple removal

Saw Dr. Taj this morning for skin staple removal and 3 week check-up. He cleared me for sex and told me to cycle aggressively every day. Max inflation for 2 to 3 hours at a time. He also said the reservoir pump will get softer with time.

xbd007, sounds like good progress, congrats !

Are you still seeing the knots in flaccid state?

Are you still seeing the knots in flaccid state?

Yeah, it's still there. It's the partially deflated implant that remains kinked in deflated state. I can now inflate to a point where knots are completely gone, but I really don't see how kinks will ever be gone in a deflated state.

They probably won't be, this is the nature of the Titan and one of its downsides

Just got back from 2 week vacation. I am now at 7 week post surgery. I could not be happier with the outcome. I had sex every day, some days more than once and had no trouble whatsoever. Size is slowly coming back to preop as well. I am hoping for many more years of great sex!!!

You are very early in the process!!! In time it will soften up a LOT! Mine took 6-8 months to get what I would call soft. By a year it was very normal feeling with a few pumps in it to make the cylinders just full with no pressure. Been just over 3 years now and it’s as normal as I can ever remember pre surgery. Took many months to get used to being a shower but after a while I can’t remember what it was like being shriveled up when not excited. Love my bionic member and have absolutely 0 regrets!!

Hi what do u mean soft I am very confused ?

Note that you are exactly 6 months post-implant. And, studies have found that with the Coloplast...

...when we analyze the change in penile measurements from 6 to 12 months, there was a statistically significant increase in all 15 penile measurements. This appears be attributed to the protocol of maximum inflation for at least 1 hour daily. Tissue expansion involves making the tunica albuginea more compliant so it will stretch and allow larger distention by the inflated cylinder. Experience with repetitive vacuum device application shows the tunica will respond with short exposures to the vacuum therapy. Sellers et al. showed that 10 minutes a day of vacuum device application twice a day for 7 weeks promoted visible penile lengthening in the vacuum cylinder when marked weekly in first-time implant patients. It also, and more importantly, allowed the implanting physician to upsize his cylinder approximately 3 cm when compared with the average implant without vacuum preparation [21]. The application of vacuum to a penis with corporal fibrosis has also been described to preserve length preventing some of the shrinkage that accompanies removal of an IPP for infection. The published literature is, at best, anecdotal, but the belief is widespread among frequent implanters. The pressure difference between a hydraulic pump push inside the penis compared with low pneumatic suction on the external penis should be more than a thousand-fold stronger. (Henry et al. (2015)

Keep exercising it. You've got time.

The cylinders soften up a LOT! Even go to the point of being like an accordion. If I hold the deflate and really squeeze and push in the cylinders collapse and make my dick look really strange and out of shape. I always leave just enough fluid them to make it fill out and look totally normal. Early on the cylinders are very firm and hold pressure in them even if completely deflated.
