Unlucky 1-2%. Surgery tomorrow. Only choice to make is Coloplast malleable for time being or Titan.

Wish me luck.

Note. I was activated Thursday and everything looked normal. Swelling, soreness, and low grade fever Friday. Going to hospital shortly to start antibiotics.

I'm keeping positive as I can, but please: if you have symptoms of infection doctor or emergency room ASAP. It can move fast.

Damn, brother
Same thing happened to me 2 or 3. weeks out, was put on antibiotics and Dr was stressed about it but I didn’t want to revision. The pills worked and didn’t have to have the malliable placed. Tg
Good luck, so sorry. I blame the hospital, covid time and staff was non normal and my guess not as clean as it should have been.

I’m so sorry this happened.

I too was infected after having an IPP Coloplast put in on October 28, 2024. I went through a salvage malleable Rigicon which was placed on December 6. I’ve healed up, no further problems, and am using the malleable. I am considering going back to an IPP due to a bit of size loss (surgeons are more conservative with sizing the malleables) but may stick with the malleable depending on field testing.

My point is there is hope. You will get through this. PM me if you want to chat.
51 and in pretty good shape….for an old guy lol.
Titan IPP 22cm installed 28 October 2024. Infected. Successful Salvage Revision 6 December 2024 to a Rigicon 20cm. Lost size and girth. Malleable is functional but considering revision to an IPP.
