What if your first one lasts 22 years? Survival spans 1 to 20+ years.

Don’t expect misfortune. Face it if and when it arrives, but never never never rehearse it.

When failure finally comes, meet it calmly. Until then, refuse to rehearse tragedy.

Live as though it will last 20+ years.

At the prime of your sex life, choose a prime implant. When you reach my age with stents, strokes, bypasses, and weakened hand grip, malleables will enter your life naturally without asking. Don't take my word. Trust your surgeon. Make sure he/she is a high volume dedicated implanter.

Don't forget this: Coloplast offers a 10 year mechanical warranty in the US if you're paying out of pocket entirely. Make full use of this golden opportunity.

After decompression of the penile prosthesis, will it still be very thick? Will it be embarrassing? I don't think anyone has asked this question before?

It will be thick. It will look normal. It will look like youre a shower. Mine already hangs at 5 inches and is 5.5 inches thick and looks normal to me

What I mean is, does the crotch area bulge when I wear outer pants? Two friends who have had penis implants noticed it when they wear outer pants.

Your flaccid penis is likely to be much longer, possibly thicker as well, although that seems more variable.
In my experience yes, the extra length can cause a visible bulge in your outer pants.
Unless you are already very well endowed stowing it probably won't be a significant problem.
It doesn't bother me but I do try and make it less obvious in situations where it may raise eyebrows.
Wearing tighter underwear and/or looser outer clothing helps. That said I actually enjoy being a "shower".
