Pump stuck at scrotum skin beneath incision area

Earlier my pump felt to have migrated to the left....now it seems to have permanently stuck with the scrotum skin just beneath the incision area. Is hot bath the solution for it?

How timely. I got implanted on the 9/1. A week later I got the courage to 'explore' and noticed the same issue as yours. Same spot. At first I sort of pinched underneath the stitch area a little bit at a time, gave it a rest, repeat until I could manipulate the pump around my sack. I think If I hadn't done that the pump release button might have gotten blocked. For me the massaging/pinching did cause a bit of a burning sensation afterwards so you might want some pain relief on hand if you try my knucklehead technique.

I think my release button has gotten blocked. I cant feel it on the right side. Will your technique work now? Let me try and thanks a lot.

Just take it real slow. You don't want to tear or break anything. Best yet you might want to consult your Doc before listening to me. I'm not 2 weeks from the procedure so I figure it was just beginning to get attached.

Proctor,
Kramer did my surgery and I had the same issue in the first 4-5 weeks in recovery. Once I was approved to sit in a hot bathtub I would manipulate the pump gently and it eventually came free. I think it is the way he intentionally anchors the pump in surgery to avoid it from riding high and the need to repair later.
Just my guess, but a few years ago the pump riding too high was an issue for a lot of the members on this forum which resulted in revisions.

In theory he might be using dissolvable sutures for the anchor and over time the body absorbs the sutures and it breaks free. That would make sense.

Thanks Gentlemen....Dr Kramer has found nothing to worry about thisissue and but me being in a different location results in getting panic attacks. I know patience in the initial days are imperative but I guess thats not my strong suite.
Right now...my biggest challenge is to locate the s3flate button and then activatw my tool .

I spent several months with tissue adhered to pump on my first one. Hot tub and gentle massaging the skin loosened it up over time. I did not tug it just rolled the skin around on it as gently as I could keeping pressure on the stuck parts. Over time the stuck part was less and less.

I had the same issue, pump seemed stuck to scrotum, within 2 months it was free.

My implant now, after almost 2 years, is just like my pre-op dick when flaccid in terms of not noticing it during the day.

At night, it is hard as can be, and stays that way until my wife is done with it.

Did you do anything to help free it?
