Re: Do you worry constantly that the implant will fail?
No...I'm not a worrier. I'm on my fourth implant so, I do know that they can fail. Until it does fail, I'm just gonna keep having fun with it....Good luck man!!!

No, if it fails, I’ll go get a replacement. It’s so much better than what I had before.

Flounder, very good data. I ran across a link a few month ago that showed about 35,000 annual implants in the USA. If I remember correctly it was a several year old number. My father in law had an implant. Don't know what brand or model it was. He never said a negative thing about it. But I do know he was not happy about his lack of an erection. He took it to his grave. I think if a person was able to analyze the implant rates vs the death rates of older males. Annually more implants go to the grave than get revised currently.

Re: Do you worry constantly that the implant will fail?
I think you have a consensus OP based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding your question. I’m 3 months in, am now having the most vigorous and long-lasting sex that i’ve had in years. Not one regret, or one bit of worry about a revision.
Like most unpleasant things, no, i don’t want it to happen, but i have learned here from our more experienced bionic brothers that a revision is certainly not the end of the world, nor reason to poison your daily experience with worry.
As another member mentioned above, at your young age it might be a good idea to create a seperate fund in which you save a small amount monthly to cover any future costs. No different than i do with my boat, motorcycle, or home….when something breaks, the money is there.
