Anxiously waiting to see how this one goes! Good luck on your revision and can’t wait to see how both of our 24s compare to previous size.


Actually, the left side gained 4 cm. However, saying I gained 3 cm overall is probably more accurate since the right cylinder determined my measurable length. I always felt my first implant was slightly undersized, and having a full centimeter trimmed from the left cylinder was too much.

I was sent home about 70% inflated from revision surgery and have to stay that way for 5 weeks — I still have another week to go with a 24/7 boner. Visually, my revision girth does appear larger, like you mentioned. Although, according to Coloplast specs, the XL series cylinders have the same expanded 21 mm diameter as the 20–22 cm lengths. I guess time will tell where everything settles. For now, I’m just looking forward to being deflated and starting the cycling journey.

How is your recovery from the salvage surgery going?

Hey Flounder,
i'm curious, if you gained 4cm on the revision, did you notice any difference in actual penis length, or same as always?

Wishing you a speedy recovery. I’m thrilled to learn that revisions can lead to a gain of 4 centimeters.

Flounder, my revision/salvage is going great except for this terrible pain in my glans. Mostly on the underside and seems a little more on my left side. The tip of the left cylinder goes about a 1/2cm past the left and It is centered in the glands. He did a tunneling procedure because both tips were just under skin on bottom so he made a space more in center. Been doing a lot of reading and I either have a damaged nerve or a compressed nerve. If I touch the tip in any way it sets it on fire! And stays that way for hours! No milking out last drops when you pee or can’t even gently shake it off. I’ve found the baby sock seems to help when wearing sweats. I’m two weeks out tomorrow and every thing else is healing great! My pump is like it’s not even been touched although I know he changed it out. No swelling at all. I could easily pump or deflate now as far as the pump goes. Incision is practically healed. I have a PICC line in my arm and have been doing 3 injections a day of antibiotics since surgery. I have 3 more days and finally get line out on Friday. Hoping pain will go away so I can use this thing!!! Only had sex two times with previous implant and both were pretty much a disaster and lead to a LOT of pain afterwards. It will be 13 weeks tomorrow since I had my first revision and at least 3 more weeks to go if infection don’t come back or this pain don’t go away, before I can possibly use it! Keep posting about yours. Anxious to hear how yours works at first pump.
60yo.ED started mid 40s pills failed after 10 years. Injections works w diminishing results.
Implanted 5-22 Titan 20cm with 1cm RTE.
Revision 3-26 Titan 24cm with 1cm trimmed off. Revision due to bad reservoir placement and potential tip erosion.
