Questions about tips & cylinder placement?
Posted: Sat Aug 04, 2018 12:15 pm
Hello to All,
This is my first post here, but I've been reading and visiting the site for over a year. Would like to thank everyone for sharing their experience and the advice given which was invaluable to me in making my decision. I'm 47 years old and had my surgery for a Titan implant on June 20th, 2018. Reason was a venous leak which just kept getting worse over time, so I decide to take the plunge and go bionic.
Everything went well with my surgery, better than expected. Recovery was a breeze, no real pain at anytime and I was out and about within a few days. Activation went well, and I had sex for the first time a little over three weeks post-op with no major issues or discomfort.
I would recommend to anyone suffering from ED to go through with this option from my experience. This is not to say that everything went perfect but I’m much better off now and the issues I have, two actually, I consider minor.
First, I did lose some size and a little girth. Now fortunately I was blessed with a nice sized dick at almost 8 inches and about 7” in girth. With the implant I’m about 6.5” normal length and about 7” when glands are engorged. As for girth I’m almost 6” normal and about 6.5 fully engorged. My wife actually likes that its not as long so in reality this is not a big issue for me and I’m fine as is, but I wouldn’t mind having my original length. Only reason I bring this up is because I believe its relevant to the other issue.
According to my doc, pre-op I would remain with my original length since I never suffered from impotence from all the Cialis I was taking almost daily. The cost of this was just ridiculous to the tune of $700 to $800 a month and they were becoming less effective and injections simply wasn’t an option I was willing to consider.
Now where my real concern comes from is I might have been slightly undersized, or the placement of the cylinders was off a tad. The tips of the cylinders do not go into the head/glands at all and its my understanding they should. As you can see from the pictures, cylinders reach to the edge of the head and are towards the bottom of the shaft. It is only a real issue at the time of insertion that I must position correctly and of course I’m always mindful of not pulling out completely thinking I might have a hiccup going back in, but this has never happened.
I say its not a huge issue because when I’m fully engorged the head is supported well (as in usable) and the bend of the head is not as bad as you see in the pictures. So, it is fine but not great. I have talked to my doc about this and he says he will put a couple of stitches pulling the head down and over the tips and that it will work. I am sure that he is right, and it will work but I can’t help but think this is simply a quick fix to the problem and not the best solution?
This is why I brought up the issue about length and sizing. It seems to me that the extra centimeter needed to push the tips into the glands would bring me closer to my original size and it would be perfect? I also assume I would feel the tips less as right now I can always feel them at the end of the shaft as they are now and I assume they would be less noticeable if they where in the head/glands .
As I mentioned before I’m sure my docs solution would work and it’s a simple procedure with little risk which is why I assume he is recommending it.
Has anyone here done the stitches?
Would a complete revision be worth it? Those of you who have had revisions do they tend to go smoother? Or is it a to much of a risk to redo everything for such a small gain thinking that the stitches would work?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
