So if you notice scarring you need to get an implant as quickly as possible because the peyronies is getting worse every day you wait. Just stopping the injections does not stop the progression of the disease.

I know man it sucks but as a really young guy I have to make the most of injections before going for implant. I see some men who have used them for years with no scarring and the literature says only a fraction develop it. But once you get scarring I have two big questions that worry me :
1.Can VED everyday help to maintain the size while you are waiting for the implant?
2. Can the implant itself regain the size lost by scarring and peyronie or it only maintains what you are left before the surgery?



I injected for 1 year maybe a bit over Trimix number 5 and it was AWESOME. Unfortunately, I did develop some scarring I could have continued with injections but I didn't want more scarring.

What signs of scarring did you notice from Trimix? And was it a problem for your implant surgery or not at all?

Hey Frenchie,

To be honest I didn't even notice it. But I did notice a required dose esclation which I did not like at all! Because I used to do injections recreationally (didn't need them but liked the long erection) and I knew that wasn't good.

I don't really know if it was an issue for my surgery most of my erectile tissue I think was pretty good except distally. I did get scarring at the right base right where I used to inject.

The reason I got the ipp wasn't scarring from injections though it was hourglass from trauma.

What did Hakky say to you about future revisions? How many implants can you have considering your age? This is the thing that worries me the most as I will also have an implant when I am in my 30s(I am only in my 20s now and depending on injections). The thing that scares me the most is if an infection occurs in a revision and they cant put another implant. This is I believe the main worry for us young guys and revisions.

Hakky told me to be very careful who I go to for revisions only takes once to be botched. Hakky told me my dick will be like a fine wine and get better with age (upsizing).

Should you get an infection you can still have another implant… the scenario looks like this:

Option A) Classical method- remove implant and wait for the body to clear infection (best way to make sure the infection is gone but at the cost of certain size loss).

Option B) Malleable salvage- dr put a malleable in place of IPP and puts you on IV antibiotics to kill the infection. I would think you still lose at least girth w this option but I’m just guessing here.

Option C) IPP salvage- Dr. Puts a new 3 piece in you. Best way to keep your size but also the most likely to get reinfected due to more components for bacteria to cling to.

btw I thought more about your question on symptoms of scar tissue noticed and I did start noticing a slight indent in the area of injections now that I think about it.

I injected for 20 years and obviously had scarring. Received implant in early February and gave had zero issues. Working like a charm!

So would you say that it makes no difference implanting with scarring?

I guess that it’s pointless to ask to surgeon as they will just say that scarring makes surgery more complicated

But if you go there and you have scarring then this won’t matter anymore and they will do the surgery regardless

It was never suggested by my surgeon that scarring would be a problem, and it wasn’t.

3+ years of injections here. Started at low dose bimix and graduated to a mega-dose of turbo-trimix (the strongest formula) until it just wouldn’t work anymore. Veinous leakage diagnosed and had the implant Jan 4th.

No scarring whatsoever.

After pills stopped working i went right to the implant, if you can only us injections 1-2 times a week then i would just rather do without, i want sex every night, with my good wife it settles on 4-5 times a week. I based my decision on how many times can i get sex in a week/month, for other folks, if twice a month is all you desire then the injections would be perfect.

One of the main issue with injections, for me, was duration of erections.I couldn’t count the number of times I had 3 and 4 hour erections. That becomes a problem. I found injections to be very unpredictable, concerning dosage, and it would change over the years. Zero spontaneity. Wish I had gone the implant route 15 years earlier.
