How did the surgeon do the implant? Infrapenal, penoscrotal, vertical or horizontal? Pro's and con's!

Infrapubic, Vertical,Small scar, non evasive, healed quickly. Only problem is doc kept me pumped up for 4 weeks. This is not normal for the procedure. How well are you healing?

I'm healing well. Still some pain in my right testicle near the pump. The surgeon and I had talked about a penoscrotal incision. When the bandages came off he had made a horizontal incision, about 3 inches across! I thought it would be midline vertical! Go in in 2 days for activation. I'm hoping all goes well.
