Anyone here who had partial ED who got an implant?

Different . Not superior .

Appreciate the reply, my man. But I thought am implant was superior since it creates greater girth than a malleable. I'm confused here.

For one i dont want to be cut open , over and over .it might 3 months or 3 years . who knows . and i do not want to have to pump up my dick .

I'm confused. You get cut open with a malleable also as with an implant.

As to the amount of time to get another implant after the 1st implant expires, my uro said that it takes 10 years before replacing the old implant with a new one.

all that hardware inside me.. ,all that goes inside ? no thanks , not for me .
.

I thought it was just the pump and rods, nothing else, as simple as that.

.

If a patient can regain lost girth or length ,that is a benefit .
Having multiple revisions and having to pump your dick up is not superior .
The recovery operation and recovery with a malleable is "superior" compared to that of an ipp . which a full recovery can take 6 months to a year . then when it breaks ,and it will. 3 months , 2 -3 years? Toss the dice and see what number pops up . ,you have to go through all that again .
I was on a plane from india in a matter of days and only had to wait for the incision to heal for 4 weeks to back to everyday life .
The ipp has some benefits and those are negated by the negatives .
Each to their own .
i do not want to have to pump my dick up, oh excuse me for a bit, -squeak-squeak squeak . almost there ,hang on .
. ,or worry when the pump will malfunction or the tubing come off its connection ,or the cylinder spring a leak on the "superior" implant .
props to the guys who go that route, God speed for them and I wish them the best . But it's not for me . hard pass .

I am still absolutely gobsmacked by the guys that were given the go ahead to start the cycling process around day 3 after the implant (even more so for those that had the incision in their scrotum- mine was infra public)

Greatly appreciate your feedback. So 2 things.... what are the pros and cons of having an incision in the scrotum and one in the infra public? Which do you recommend for me? If I get an implant I'd want as much girth as possible.

I assume that "cycling" means pumping and deflating. Why were you surprised by the guys who start cycling 3 days post op?

To be honest I would not be able to give you a definitive opinion as to what is better between a scrotal incision and a pubic incision. Six one way, half a dozen the other way? I have no idea.

What I would strongly recommend is that you focus on getting the best possible high volume surgeon that you can find. What process they prefer to use is very much a distant and secondary consideration….in my opinion.

As to your girth considerations. again speak to your surgeon. I am guessing some makes of IPP’s might be marginally better than others. They will know and be able to advise you.

My surprise to beginning pumping and deflating is twofold.

My surgeon has me scheduled to start after week five. Others are told to start after day three. Big difference! And these differences in approaches were from what appeared to be very credible and respected surgeons.

The other surprise were the blokes that started inflating/ deflating after day three that had the incision in the scrotum. I had some swelling down there even though I had the incision in the pubic area. No way did I have the urge to want to start so soon. (Though I’m keen to start now but will wait and follow my surgeon’s instructions).

It makes me shudder to think that people started squeezing their pumps so soon next to (or near to) where the incision was. Good luck to them though, all is good that ends well.

Having multiple revisions

Thanks for the reply. I've never heard of "multiple revisions" to an implant. The most is 1 revision which means that a 2nd revision (due to infection for example) is not recommended, will end in failure and render the penis unable to receive an implant. This is what my ex-uro who's also an implanter told me.

compared to that of an ipp . which a full recovery can take 6 months to a year[!quote]

So according to my research, an implant usually takes 6 weeks for full recovery before using it for sex, not a year. Where are you getting all this from?? I'm highly confused!!

try reading post from members on this site . one member had 4 ipp in 3 years . Others have the first implant and , another, the 1st revision and some a third ,the second revision . And members themselves have reported it has taken 6 months or more to get back to normal , others have had better luck and recovered quicker.
those are facts . Apparently it hurts your sensitivities, But try using the search feature . its your friend .
ok its 4 ipp's in 4 years .
from the drivers account ; After 4 Titan IPP failures within 4 years I finally wised up and went to the Malleable Genesis 23cm- 13mm implanted 2-1-24 and no regrets
so far.
this member , had his ipp for 6 months and needed to be cut open again .
i removed his name as he might not appreciate being brought into this discussion.
revision at 6 months, possible cylinder herniation or erosion

"Hi all, I'm in my 30's and six months out from getting a coloplast. I'm probably going to need a revision and honestly I'm disappointed and a little down. If someone has been in a similar situation, can you talk me through it?."
ipps and malleables both have separate advantages and disadvantages .
but in my opinion something that malfunctions on a regular basis does not qualify
as a superior alternative . but whatever floats your boat .

Thank you for your feedback. I need do get an implant as soon as possible. Is it possible to have sex 4 - 6 weeks after getting an implant?

Someone here said that it's common to get multiple revisions after getting an implant. Is this true?

.

with an inflatable implant , a revision will probably needed eventually . some men go for 12 years ,before that is needed .
A few run into issues sooner than that , some at 3 years or less ,that is apparently a low percentage of implants . but it can happen ,and if you go with an ipp .its good to have that in mind .
