anyone had three incisions for a infra pubic style implant?

Hi, Folks. This is my 1st post and I had an implant yesterday 740AM. Dr. Taj removed my drain bulb today. He showed me he cut circumferentially at the gland base to make space for one of the two chambers due to "hard as concrete" scar tissue.

So far no pain yet at the three incisions. Urinating has been the only painful job thus far. Discomfort appears "normal" at the pump inside my ball. Dr. Taj cautioned me today more pain may be coming after the painkiller injected vanishes.

I am taking antibiotics and 600mg IB only.

Does anyone have three incision like mine? reason? thanks

3 incisions and only ibuprofen. You’re a much tougher guy than I am. I only had one incision and was very glad I had oxycodone for the first few days. Better keep ice handy and the docs phone number close.

Good luck on your recovery

May be “diabetic tough” due to “neuropathy” :lol: I do also have the two needle holes.
Still manageable discomfort overnight after taking IB.

Yes, first one was the initial implant Dec 2014, second one was revision 2017, third was revision to the reservoir April 2018. He opened me up all three times in the same place. I have a four in scar across my pubic pad. This last surgery was pretty rough.
