Reservoir tubing
The swelling from my implant procedure is subsiding and I can feel and see the reservoir tubing at the base of my penis on the left side. Guessing the doc did not intend for it to be that way or does it happen? Im very lean and have no body fat around the pubic area. My wife thinks if I had more body fat it would not be visible. Interested if any of you have experience with this?
65y.o. Very healthy fit and strong.

It's normal, I am on the thin side also and have the same thing, so relax and enjoy when the time comes for you to use your new dick!

It's normal. I complained to my new surgeon, Dr. Morey about the surface tubing and the wishbone of tubing that hugs my penis under the skin and he said it's normal for penoscrotal installation. The tubing might be less palpable with infrapubic approach since the corporotomies are usually on top of the corpora and the tubing runs down one side or the penis instead of wrapping around it as in penoscrotal approach. With infrapubic though, you may still feel the tubing around the side of the penis that it goes past to get to the scrotum.

Re: Reservoir tubing
I'm on the lean side also. At 5 months the swelling is gone. I can feel all the plumbing the surgery required. One tube goes from right to left over the top base of my penis. (I had an infrapubic install) It's not noticable till I'm pumped up. It softens with time but my wife loves it. She's able to grind against it, cowgirl style and reach orgasam everytime. You'll both get used to the new you soon enough and be happy you've got that extra plumbing.
