Gabe Mirkin MD used to say "I'm getting stronger as I get older. When I was younger I couldn't bend it."

My inflated dick is just as hard as my natural dick when I was younger.

I was concerned that I was rushing things, getting the IPP just 9 months after RP, even though my RP doc said he removed all my nerves. My IPP surgeon said during dilation, he just moves the engorgment material to the side. He doesn't remove anything. He has patients that have regained natural erection years after the RP and implant. Never a hard reliable erection but morning wood type with lots of filling. He called that the trifecta. Win,win ,win. I can still have hope.

My doctor said chubs and erections were impossible because he totally destroyed my erectile tissues. He didn't even do *THAT* right.

Yep. Possible.

Yes, the word Dilation means to open up, make wider. It does not mean, to remove anything. Not a doctor but there must be a thin layer between the inflatable tissue and the tunica wall where the dilation is done instead of ripping down the center of it and destroying the tissue.
