It's your body and you can decide for yourself. Once it's done you'll be stuck with it.

Appreciate your message and warning. How much did Clavell charge you?

Makes it look ugly and hard to have sex with, basically defeating the whole purpose of implantation. Many lower volume surgeons size their cylinders up to the glan for some reason.

Search the forum for "floppy glan". There are pretty descriptive pictures from poor members that got stuck with them. This is the first question I ask when interviewing a surgeon: "how do you size your cylinders: up to the glan, into the glan, or to the tip of the penis?"

Hi whatevery,

So I assume that the best placement for the cylinders would have to be to the tip of the penis, is this right?

I had no luck so far. Have 4 more appointments coming up before I'd be ready to give up and consider out of state.

Are you saying that you have 4 docs to interview and if they dont answer your question about cylinder placement in the glans that you'll give up on an implant entirely? Please dont do that if thats what youre implying.

In your view, which docs provide the best placement for the cylinders?

So what is the right answer for an IPP?


The most common response to this I've seen, and my Dr said the same, is at least halfway to 2/3 into the glans is optimal to preserve size and function.

But wouldnt placement of the cylinders into the glan, or to the tip of the penis be ideal? That way you avoid floppy glans. Am I right?

This doctor has:
- 10 years of urological experience.
- 8 years of penile implant experience.
- Coloplast’s “Center of Excellence (COE)” for penile implant surgery.
- Director of men's sexual health at a major hospital.
- He told me he does 40 - 50 implants a year.
- A doctor who does a bit more implants than him highly recommended him.
- Performs penoscrotal surgery

Btw, the surgery is free given my insurance. Based on these factors what do you think of this doctor?

Dr. Leon Tellis is it still?
59 yr old. Implanted Sept.19, 2025
AMS 700 CX 18 cm + 1.50 extenders
Married 22 years to the love of my life.
Struggled with ED for the last 20 years.
Meds, pumps, injections quit working.
