I don't have any issues with my LGX; it works great!


Happy to hear such positivity! Do you know if your implant was pre-assembled or did the doctor connect the tubes during the operation?
A young guy in his early 30s from South Asia. Implanted Titan 22cm by Dr. Tariq Hakky in Atlanta (Dec 2020). Amazing doctor! No pain during recovery. My size is 5.75” x 4.6” which is better than pre-OP size of 5.6” x 4.5”. Hoping to gain more in future.

Sorry, but I do not know. Mr doctor is a very well-respected prosthetic urologist, so I just left it up to him. :)

David, if you have the product/ID card that came with your implant's info package, and if the doctor placed your product stickers on the card, each piece has a LOT# and EXPIRY date. On my implant, each piece has a different LOT and EXPIRY so I know they were assembled "in situ"

The implant card that I have (from 2002) does not have any information like more recent cards seem to have. It strictly has a diagram plus contact information for the doctor and for the hospital (information that I wrote by hand).
