Rigicon IPP

Now with the Infla10 coming to the states, hopefully Coloplast and AMS will be forced to step up their game; like REAL developments—not some shitty pump only tested for 1000 cycles.

I’m so torn right now because I am going to Clavell this fall and I will lose up to an inch of girth with what’s currently available… I don’t mind using an AMS to regain length for a couple years and then swapping for an infla10 when it is available to us but I am not sure he will want to use a LGX since it will require a bunch of RTEs

Why are you forced to this in the US? are you doing this in insurance, or out of pocket? if it's out of pocket you can fly to wherever you want and get the model you want

I think for some of us, spending that much money and not really knowing the safety/quality of the doctor in another country compared to the U.S. especially if there are complications it's harder to fly back overseas to have it addressed and probably then also a lot of U.S. surgeons would refuse to even touch someone else's problem. I've seen that with people that have gone to Mexico for tummy tucks, and then fly back to the U.S. and have infected incisions or dehiscence and U.S. surgeon's won't see them in their office since they didn't do the surgery.

This is totally different situation from mexico tummy tuck.

About implants specifically, for example in London you have Prof. David Ralph who has massive experience with implants, he installs rigicon, has comparable or cheaper price than USA, and he is a speaker at international conferences. He is not less qualified than US doctors IMO. That is just to give an example. There are many around the world.

I agree. I'm just giving an idea of what might make people from the US nervous to go outside the country for the procedure.

Honestly because I like what I see from Clavell's surgeries, he's a few hours away from home, and I do believe I should be able to get some of it covered since I have documented venous leak and history of oral and injectable failure.

It's still a tough decision. I wouldn't mind going to the UK for it but it would be ideal to go to the same surgeon for revisions which makes close to home a better option. Does Dr Ralph have videos of surgery? That's the only thing that gives me confident in a surgeon's attitude, efficiency, style...

Nope Ralph doesn’t and probably will never have videos of him performing surgery, would be very surprised if he did.

I think it’s a rarity for surgeons to have videos in all honesty, you’ll just have to trust the one you pick.

John, you can do an online consultation with Ralph and then make a decision after speaking with him.
