Implant had to be removed
I was 5 1/2 weeks post implant. No problems, my Dr. was happy with were I was in the healing process. On Saturday 3/31/24 I got out of my car and I noticed my shorts were soaking wet. I got back in the car undone my shorts and noticed what appeared to be puss everywhere. I got home and cleaned up, the drainage was coming from one side of my incision. Had draining the rest of the day. Called dr. came to hospital I had to have the implant removed. Worst day ever. I am so bumbed. I know it was what had to be done. Has anyone on here had to have a removal because of infection.

So sorry. Was not your implant replaced by another one? I have read that It is the best option to avoid other additional issues related to size mainly when reimplanted.

Re: Implant had to be removed
Due to the swelling and drainage that came up all of a sudden, in the matter 24/36 hrs. My dr. Was concerned about putting anything yesterday when he removed my implant. He said will try again in 4 to 6 weeks. Give my body time to heal.

I’ve seen posts on here where implants were removed and replace with a Malleable implant as a place hold to keep from losing size and reduce scare tissue

Re: Implant had to be removed
Hang in there my friend! there's always hope with a second surgery but its a tough road to recovery and becoming functional again.
Radical Prostatectomy in 2015; failed pills, straight to Coloplast Titan in 2019 by Dr. Valenzuela in NYC, Replaced with AMS 700 CX in 2022 by Dr. Darshan Patel in San Diego, CA. Wish I jumped to an implant even before prostate cancer!
Re: Implant had to be removed
Sorry to hear that! Hope you feel better soon! Were there any warning signs like pain and fever?

So sorry to hear this, I know how awful it feels, I was within hours or same sentence. Lots of antibiotics helped me dodge the bullet.
Keep us posted we are rooting for you!
Hugs bro
