Both are after but from different perspectives. Maybe I should have also gotten a pic of me grabbing onto it to make it more visible. The pump is behind and slightly below the testicles, more to the right side. It's actually and fortunately easy to access with my right hand. I was a little worried early on but has improved significantly after the first couple of weeks.

Thank you. Was this the original placement or after a rework?

I'm sitting in the hospital waiting room right now. New Dr. An implant specialist is going to move the pump down to the bottom of my scrotum and shorten the tubes. Also will cut my frendulem to relieve erection skin tearing. Supposed to be in and out today.

I wonder if some doctors put in the wrong unit?
I mean use the pre-assembled pump/cylinder meant for scrotal installation on an infra-pubic installation?

I asked my surgeon to place the pump on the left side. He did but made it VERY high with no give in the tubes. I have no way to hold it while pumping. I guess that's called the one-hand technique. It pumps fine but always protrudes outward enough to irritate the scrotum frequently, so I just push it down and to the inside...a sight I'm sure every female loves to watch me do. So far it is very noticeable at all times. My real problem comes from an ectopic placement of my 100 cc reservoir. It has slipped out of position and is now also in my scrotum, at the bottom, way in the back. And it's pretty crowded down there. It sure looks like I have big balls. As I am a cyclist, sitting on a normal bike seat is right where the reservoir is. The saddle sometimes carries all my weight. I am afraid I might pop it or tear some tube loose. I am trying those bike saddles with nothing between my legs right now. But I have to sit on the edge of every chair and can't bring my legs all the way together sitting down. It is a pure nuisance, but my doctor says nothing can be done without surgery. I'm trying to live with it. Sitting on it slowly re-inflates my implant as the saline flows back in from the pressure. After a half hour or so, my penis is sticking straight out at half mast. I have to excuse me to go deflate. But it works great as an implant and my sex life is 90% identical to what it was.
Aug'15: RP NON nerve-sparing on Rt. Pills, vac pump, injections: Injections were best, about 50%. Aug'17: Penile pain and headaches. Implant: AMS CX 18 cm+2 cm. (Undersized! :x ) Asked for LGX! Ochsner Hospital, New Orleans, LA Still working great.

Don, pardon me for saying this, but I think you had a very bad surgeon. Was there a reason other than ease of installation, for the reservoir not to be up by your urinary bladder?
I can't even tell that I have a reservoir.

I can't even imagine having both the pump and reservoir in your sack, where are your nuts? Something is very wrong. I have never felt my reservoir, would never know it there. I only have one fully developed testicle, the left, it is very large. The right never developed and is about the size of a marble and is high up in the sack, so they put my pump below at the bottom of the sack. Very EZ to get to and also fills out my sack, and looks very natural. If it were me, I would get that fixed. I don't see how you could sit on a bicycle seat of any size.
