Lost length after being implanted. Is this normal?

For the dick rotation - if you’re talking about gentle torsion in one direction or another, I have the same thing and it gets influenced by when I’m bending it (I just started bending a couple days ago). A few days I’ve woken up to find my dick gently rotated 15 degrees left. I’ve found I can “correct” it by bending and rotating the opposite way. Sometimes it wants to go back that way, sometimes it stays corrected. I believe it’s fairly normal behavior for malleable, and the improvement typically involves bending the implant into the position you want it to be pointed in.

I will say - my malleable isn’t INCREDIBLY wobbly at the base, but it does move with gravity when I’m on my back (or down to the floor when I’m standing, stopping at around 4 o clock max). This isn’t a major issue but is worth noting, it’s a thing with malleables. Not sure how many others have the same experience.

My torsion is more than 15 degrees, i would say its close to 40 degrees. Yes I do bring it back easily but it doesn't stay there which bothers me. It seems to want to rotate to the right. I think this gets better with time once we are fully healed. I haven't started bending it yet as its still too sensitive and it hurts.

I would ask your surgeon about it, although I do think some torsion is expected with malleables. Who was your surgeon by the way?

I am from the UK so you would have never heard of him. I am not sure he is a high volume surgeon, i think he is not, but he's been doing implants for over 20 years so he is experienced at least.

Some torsion I don't mind so long its not much. Right now am not sure where my mind is with this implant. I hope things improve after healing.

Trust me - I get it 1000%. I had some challenging nights mentally in the first two weeks post surgery. And I’m still having those kinds of challenging thoughts even now at Week 4! It ebbs and flows.

Remember that physical and mental recoveries are both very distinct parts of this journey my friend - and they feed off each other. On FrankTalk, discussions about recovery tend to lean a bit more to the physical side. But the mental one is a battle.

In the interest of full transparency so that you know you’re not alone in this - even recently, my brain sometimes goes into overdrive and says “dude, I can’t believe you’ve done this. You’ve created so many problems for yourself. You also could’ve opted for an IPP and likely had better size results and much more comfort”. But here’s the thing: this is all speculation, further AMPLIFIED by the fact that I’m still SO SO early on in both physical and mental healing.

I guarantee you - if I had opted for an IPP, I’m certain my brain (this early on in healing) would be piping up and saying “dude, I can’t believe you’ve done this. You’ve created so many problems for yourself. You could’ve opted for the MPP and had a simpler healing journey and much less worry about whether or not tubing will fail, whether or not you’ll be able to handle so many lifetime revisions”…

The real kicker is this: when it comes to end state outcomes, no one really knows! Maybe I would’ve faired AMAZINGLY with an IPP, healed perfectly, and a year later be able to say “wow, I’m so glad I chose the IPP”. Alternatively, after a year, we both might be saying “wow, I’m so glad I chose the MPP”. But it’s SO early on still man.

So my thing lately has been “let go of the outcome”. Just focus on what is right in front of me. Continued healing. Learning how to WEAR my malleable implant in clothing. These are things things I’m trying to anchor to. I’m not perfect at it at all - my mind still regularly races. But when it does, I’m trying to take a breath, let go of the “end state outcome” that I’m hoping for, and just looking at what is right in front of me. In the long run, we both will keep adapting at what life throws at us - the same way we did when we were dealing with out ED and made a strategic decision to opt for the malleable!

You’re on my mind today bro, stick with it!!
