Any long term daily users? 10 year plus reliability possible?

[lasthope2.0]

I wonder if daily use affects its durability. That would mean if you only use it once a week it lasts longer than if you inflate it every day.

Don’t quote me on this, but I could swear I read that the 15-20 year lifespan is projected for use 1-2 times a week.

I generally agree with Hakky. Most of the time, revision seems to occur around the six-year mark. At least, that’s what I’ve noticed from this board.

I’ll be very happy if mine lasts at least 5 years. ElbowRoom made a really interesting point about the implants that HAVEN'T failed.
Applying that logic to Hakky:
Hakky doesn’t perform revisions on implants that HAVEN'T failed. He only revises broken ones. Is Hakky also missing many of the implants that are lasting far longer and not yet broken? We don’t know!

AMS-700 LGX here, got 9.5 years of pretty much multiple daily use. Either with myself or with a partner,,,or both. Just had revision surgery last Friday, replaced the AMS with a Titan.

Thanks for the response, that seems like a pretty good result. Was your sex typically vigorous or rough, or less so? I’m wondering about normal use versus “hard use”. What failed that required the revision?

I would say more hard than normal. I got my implant at 40. I am in very good shape and dated girls who were very, shall we say, spirited!

When it failed, it failed. There was zero warning. I had epic sex one day, worked as intended, then the following day.....dead.

Thanks for the response. I’m in good shape and have been enjoying “spirited” sex a couple to several times a day lately.

Do you know how your AMS failed? Pump, tubing, reservoir? Just curious. With a Titan we could all assume tubing with 90% certainty, with AMS the failures seem more evenly spread among the components.

The right cylinder ruptured. I was able to limp by (no pun intended) for a couple months with just the left cylinder working, then it also let go.

I consider 9.5 years of consistent, daily use a genuine success story. Did you lose anything with revision? And how long did you have to wait?

I just did the math in my head, and I think it was actually 10.5 years. So yes, pretty solid run. What is funny is, even though I was aware that implants have a shelf-life, the thought of failure was never on my mind.

The implant failed in early June of last year, and I just had my revision surgery on 5/1....so 11 months. I was able to continue to have below-average intercourse up until about November, with one cylinder.

I was actually scheduled for surgery in early August of last year, and the day before, the office called me and told me that my insurance policy would not cover it. I went through about 8mos of battling BCBS with appeals, to no avail. I could have probably fought it a little while longer, but I really didn't want to wait anymore. Fearing atrophy and implant tissue ingrowth, I began the search for a specialist who has self-pay options and landed with Dr. Eid.

Fortunately, no, I did not lose anything. I will actually wind up gaining some length and even more-so, girth.

This is one of the most reassuring posts on FrankTalk. Thank you so much for sharing.

I agree with you Fucked One. This is very reassuring and a breath of fresh air on FrankTalk. Made my day as well.
