What keeps the entire implant structure stable?

The final frontier. Deciding when, if and how.

This answers many questions surrounding implants.

Imagine an xx[?] cm Hydralic cylinder activated within an XX[?] cm tube.

Think rear wheel "Brake Cylinder" on an automobile.

The rear "tip" presses into the Crus toward (against) the pelvic bone.

The foreward "tip" presses toward the Glans. [muscle/tissue/flesh.]

no reservoir. Not being critical. I was reading the surgical instructions of how to place the reservoir as I am having reservoir problems and discovered that procedure had no reservoir instructions.
The crus's are tied to the pelvic bone by attaching muscles right where the tie straps in the mock up are. That mock up says a thousand words.

the rear tip of the implant is lodged in the pelvic crus. As I understand it, your ligaments and musculature hold the implant the same way they held the corpus cavernosum. Scar Tissue also forms

Rivets or Fasteners are not required for a male. I did see a drawing of a penile prosthesis for a transgender woman that used some kind of fasteners for the implant to the female pelvis. but I don't think that applies two men.

As others have mentioned the Crus is what holds the cylinders in place inside the body. I believe it is firm. The glans at the end of the penis is what is holding the tips in place and that is very fleshy. For guys who have the one piece malleable implant the hard tips can cause erosion. My surgeon said it is best not to leave my 3-piece implant pumped all the time for the same reason.
