If a picture is worth more than a thousand words, then two pictures should be priceless.
Here is my "flaccid" 4 days after surgery, and another picture from 1-2 years ago showing my flaccid as it looks now.
Should also be noted that Eid basically leaves his patients (at least he did in 2015) deflated after surgery.
His view is (at least was, don't know if it has changed) that the best protocol is to leave the dick deflated to allow for the reservoir to be full.
If leaving the reservoir half full (and likewise the dick half full) for a few weeks, scar tissue will/can form around the half full reservoir, which can make complete deflation problematic in the future.
Then of course, his strategy is based on early activation, otherwise problem is just transferred to scar tissue forming around deflated cylinders in the dick. But most of his patients start inflating already the first week.
Anyway, the first pic of my swollen deflated dick 4 days after surgery does not look nice. Foreskin very swollen as well as it sits behind my glans. And going down the hotel lobby to get some food etc was a pain in the ass with that dick. Difficult to hide, to say the least.
And it is almost all due to swelling. Blood and other body fluids. And of course partly down to the inherent stiffness of the Titan cylinders. Which also will disappear over time.
The bath tub in the background brings back some memories... That is from Bentley Hotel at Manhattan. And the time spent in that bath tub was the best time of the day for those first couple of weeks...
As for the second pic, It should make it obvious that if you have a shitty flaccid with a Titan, it is not because a Titan will always give everyone a shitty flaccid. It is rather because your doc fucked up. Wrong implant for your dick, wrong size, too many RTEs, leaving you partly inflated for too long after surgery which meant your reservoir lost its full capacity, etc, etc. If things are done correctly, your flaccid will hang down even with a Titan.
When did my flaccid start to look like in the second pic? Don't remember. And it is not that you go from pic 1 to pic 2 overnight. It's a gradual process of course. But I had issues with my flaccid for the first few months for sure. Remember it was difficult to hide it in suit pants.
After a year it was ok, but not as good as in second pic.
After two years? Yeah, I'd say that it probably had reached second pic status by then.
Why such slow progress? What is it that is changing?
Well a few things.
Body fluids, swelling must disappear. This is probably a couple of months till it has completed.
You must learn to deflate probably. Also a learning curve.
And maybe the most long-lasting effect, the cylinders' material must loosen up. This is a slow process which happens over one or two years. Maybe even more. As the Bioflex material ages and absorbs fat, it softens. This is good not only for the flaccid hang, but in my opinion/experience, it is also good for making the implant feel more natural when inflated.
