Questions About Life Between a Broken IPP and Revision Surgery

[CarbonBurrito]

Hey everyone,
I’m hoping to hear from guys who’ve experienced a mechanical failure with their IPP and had to wait for a revision surgery. Revision is something that I'm sure everyone is afraid of when contemplating an implant. In most cases, t seems like something that's not "if" but "when."

I’m trying to understand what that in-between period is actually like. A few things I’ve been wondering:

- Were you still able to have orgasms even though the implant wasn’t working?

- Was penetrative sex (PIV) still possible at all?

- What about oral, manual stimulation, or any form of intimacy during that time?

- What kind of pain or discomfort did you deal with while waiting?

- For those who had to pay out of pocket originally, did insurance cover the revision, or did you get hit with another major bill?

If you’ve gone through this, I’d really appreciate hearing what the experience was like and anything you wish you had known ahead of time.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Revisions are fortunately very uncommon. Only about 1% of patients ever need one, according to my surgeon and I trust him. I absolutely respect and appreciate your questions, but this is not something I would be overly concerned about. The technology keeps improving at a rapid pace, and we have already come a long way, with even more exciting advances on the horizon in the years ahead. Do not let the 1% revision posts become a bottleneck for the other 99% of your life. Revisions are just a 1% problem. Just my two cents.
