Implant healing in correct position?

Postby marlow13 » Fri Sep 20, 2019 5:15 pm

I exactly 2 weeks post op today. My penis looks like it is getting smaller but I guess that's the just the swelling going down. Well my concern is my penis is pointing at about 4:00 and I was wondering if I needed to do anything to keep it from healing I that position or is that normal?

Mine did also for quite some time. Now hangs at about 5 o’clock. It takes a while for the cylinders to become more pliable.

Mine also stick out at first but relaxed with time. Remember, your penis has been through something pretty traumatic and it is still not recovered from the surgery.

I am attaching two recent pix to show you how mine went from sticking out at about 3:30 to hanging on a very natural appearance.

Thank you and thanks for the pics too. Gives me perspective. I guess I’m just worried something will go wrong with the implant. Still have some aching and soreness. My penis just sticks out and does not stick straight up like it was immediately post op. It’s starting to lay right or left on my leg when I lay on my back in bed. Just hoping all of this normal.
