Are there any Coloplast Titan recipients whose dog ears lasted more than 1 year?

Few doctors claim that after about a year dog ears would go away. I wonder if there are any FT members whose dog ears lasted longer then that. If yes, how long has it been?

Easy question, surprised no one answered yet. Two things happen over time after a Titan implant. There is some initial soreness at the points created by the dog ear creases in the implant. As your body adapts, the pain improves and completely goes away for most people by 3 months or so. The other thing that happens is that the cylinders do soften up some over time. This makes the dog ears less stiff and pointy, again making it much less bothersome. To answer your question, the dog ears never go away. I can't give an percentage, but most people with a Titan are not bothered by the dog ears after the first few months.
