Deflating new Titan

[AverageBloke]

Hey guys,

I'm three weeks out from surgery and deflating the titan is difficult. I can't tell if I'm fully deflated or not, it seems like a semi pointing to 4pm. Can someone please give advice on the below...

Is there a way to know if I'm fully deflated?
Which way did you point your flaccid post surgery?

Thanks

At three weeks it may be difficult or painful to do this. Eventually you will be able to palpate the cylinders and feel the difference between them and living flesh. At that point you will be able to feel the folds and wrinkles of your uninflated implant's cylinders and estimate how much volume of fluid is in them.

I have an AMS LGX and can (when deflated as fully as I can get) do this. I can also feel that there is always some fluid remaining. I opine that it is impossible to get every last bit out (try to empty a plastic sandwich bag of all air or water without applying a vacuum). And an implant's walls are a lot less flexible than a sandwich bag.

Note: It is important to empty your implant for a portion of each day (which will inflate your reservoir). This will keep a scar tissue capsule from compressing your reservoir which leads to inability to deflate completely. See this thread:

(I know you are familiar with that thread, since you started it, but others reading this thread might not make the connection and reading both of these will be valuable.)

You should be able to get softer by doing the following (as I was told before my implant):

Hold the deflate button down for 5 seconds, then take other hand an squeeze more fluid out. I can usually get to a 6 oclock hang when down, but prefer to leave a bit in.

My shaft was unpainful at 2 weeks or so after implant date.
