Just found this:
https://comments.medicinenet.com/penile ... s-4288.htm
Having read a lot about high satisfaction rate about ipp users, I'm a little bit scared.
Does anyone has an explanation? Yes, several posts are written during post op so I may understand. But the proportion of bad reviews is still astonishing for me.
Why so many negative comments on IPPs on Medicine Net ?

Of course most here will tell you that the successful implantees don’t bother to post (selection bias). I don’t know to what extent that’s true but a poor outcome is a real possibility.

Re: Why so many negative comments on IPPs on Medicine Net ?
Sort the negatives into piles. Most are way too early in recovery to make a good assessment about size. Several haven't mastered the pump yet. All issues that fluster men here but mainly get sorted out with time. A couple are from women that don't sound like sex is a high priority in their lives. At least one appears to be in Europe & no clue who the surgeon was.
Bottom line, only one seems to have a valid size complaint & it appears that he is significantly undersized. We've seen that here but it was due to scar tissue that was fixed during a revision a few months later.
I'm not seeing anything remotely sounding like a flood of bad outcomes. Just mainly premature bitching & woman hate. Move on, nothing here to see.

lmao you talk about Europe as if it were the Third World.

Absolutely not. Been there several times. Have family there still. But how can you judge a guys outcome when you don't have much data on what was done by who?

Re: Why so many negative comments on IPPs on Medicine Net ?
Well, every therapy or procedure works differently for every man. Some guys get rock hard erections with pills while others get side effects, some guys get Trimix for 40 years and never have problems but other guys like me get permanent penis damage after just 2 injections, with penis implants is not different. Sometimes I think about getting an implant but base of my previous experience with Trimix it scares me that the implant won't work for me. Is up to you to take the risk, it may work or may not, the problem is that is an expensive procedure and if it doesn't work there is no way back
I had a trauma 2 years ago, caused me narrowing, dent and shortening. PRP injections three months ago=worse narrowing, and worse ED. Now I only have two choices: impotent or implant. Born in 1975, in a relationship with girlfriend fir 4 years

Surely it's obvious though, that those sites only attract negative posts and very little discussion, because their format is more conducive to medications than reviews on surgery.
45yo, venous leak. Pills increased tinnitus (very rare). Using bimix+atropine, 0.2 of:
Atropine Sulfate: 52MCG/ML, Phentolamine MES: 0.9MG/ML, Papaverine HCL: 26MG/ML
Atropine Sulfate: 52MCG/ML, Phentolamine MES: 0.9MG/ML, Papaverine HCL: 26MG/ML

Why would the format only attract negative posts?

Re: Why so many negative comments on IPPs on Medicine Net ?
The woman view were griping about girth loss after an RP. Implant does not help girth at all. There are 2 separate setoff nerves. Erection then engorgement. Implant wont help with engorgement. IE, soft glans and skinny dick. I have that, but what I have is better than nothing.
83, good health, RP 7-2017, all nerves taken , PSA 0.05in 2025,, implanted 4-1-18, Infra-pubic, AMS lgx 15 cm with 5cm rte. Implant at USC Keck. Dr Boyd and Dr Loh Doyle 6.5 x 5, 800 AUS 7-21-20 at Keck
