Implanted at 38 and concerned about size & revision

[alibaba]

AWESOME and glad Eid did not use dissolveable ( absorbable) stitches. I am still getting little puss bits and pulling out dissolvable stitches that did not dissolve. Had 2 right nasty Sunday and nurse insisted on looking at them Monday. Still a scabby mess today but better and redness going away. She was concerned enough to put me on Minicyline for 90 days to hopefully last till my body quits spitting the damn things out.

I had the sutures removed yesterday. I'm glad Dr Eid gave me the blade / scalpel as the local nurse didn't have it and would have really struggled to remove them. So finally the stitches are out and I feel like I'm truly recovering. Eid told me yesterday that he is eager to get me to cycle ASAP. Today I got the courage to inflate, even though I couldn't feel the deflate mechanism fully as there is still a bit of swelling in the scrotum area.

As I started inflating, many thoughts went through my head. I was thinking that what if too much scar tissue has formed and the folds won't straighten out, or that there could be a bend in the penis, or that glans are soft, or the cylinders are too large. I did a few mini test runs to ensure I could deflate before I finally decide to inflate properly. Even then I didn't inflate to the max, but just enough so the folds and kinks straightened out. I was really pleased as the erection was straight and the size was a significant improvement over the previous implant. I did a rough measurement, not bone pressed and without arousal. It came up to 5" and that's without full inflation. I imagine that once cycling regularly and with arousal the size will increase significantly. However I'm already satisfied with the size so it's gonna be a non-issue. Anything else is a bonus from this point onwards. I didn't measure the girth but it looked fine. The penis looked a bit pointy but I believe the cylinders need to expand quite a lot.

One other significant improvement was the glans. They were pretty firm and the tips went well into them and I can already see that the implant will be 100% usable for sex, unlike the first one. I feel like my manhood is restored today and I'm no longer impotent. It was a very empowering feeling to see my dick standing tall. It took a long time to get here after the first botched implant and years of ED, but finally thanks to Dr Eid I feel I'm going to be fully functional again. It's difficult to describe the feeling and I don't want to get too carried away so soon but I'm getting quite excited about the future now

Fantastic News Moetheman - Now go show that European girl what she has been missing!
btw, glad you had the smarts not to put the blade / scalpel in your checked in luggage - might have been interesting trying to explain that to NY TSA !!
Keep us updated.

Glad to hear things are looking up. Take your time with healing. Don't be in a hurry. You have the rest of your life. Best wishes.

Great to hear!
I am not surprised though. But since there are never any guarantees, and since even the sun (Eid in this case) has its spots, I am glad to hear things look good.

In terms of my experience, and advices based on that, I'd say keep your dick pointing up as much as possible for as long time as you can. If you absolutely can't do it during day time, then at least make sure you do it at night time.
I am convinced this helps with the future angle.

When it comes to cycling, I'd day Eid's recommendation of letting pain be the guide has worked great for me. Pumping till level of discomfort only (not pain) has made me end up with a 0.5 cm longer dick than pre-op and that is only 4 months post-op. And 0.5 cm is useless in practice - no woman will notice - but it just proves Eid knows what he's doing and that there is no need for a super aggressive, super frequent, mega cycling protocol to avoid losing - or even gaining - size.
I had a period where I started to feel more pain from inflating (perineal area). I held back on the pumping (frequency, duration) for a couple of weeks and it made the pain completely disappear.
Nowadays I probably inflate on average 12 times per week (twice daily most days but sometimes only one). Duration is anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour - whatever I have time for.

Good luck with your continued recovery!

Congratulations

[moetheman]

Thank you everyone for the kind messages. I know that I've only just started the road to ED recovery but I'm so grateful that things are progressing well the second time. Not everything is perfect of course but I didn't expect it to be. The angle for one is currently close to 4 o'clock and Eid did warn me about it as the scar tissue had already formed after the first implant. I've always had a 3 o'clock erection all my life so I didn't expect 2 o'clock after the implant. I have been pointing it up anyway so things might improve, especially as I inflate closer to the max. Even with all that I'm perfectly happy. So many other issues have been fixed by the revision.

I can already feel a slight shift in my attitude in everyday life. It's quite subtle but noticeable. I feel less anxiousness and can focus a bit more. I hope this continues. The mental recovery is equally as important as physical , if not more so.

I'm a bit sore from having to pinch the skin to pump and deflate so might give it a rest today and start again tomorrow. From the experience of that first implant I expect that the pain will diminish over the next few days as the skin toughens up.

Several people have told me their erect angle improved over time. Mine has though I have more bends and twists I never had but something tells me that the quality job you have will not give you those issues, only the raging hard on that you can use till your butt muscles are sore the day after like when you were young. Who can remember being sore the day after a wild fling in the sack ? Keep up the progress. I've been told revisions are easier and I think you are about to prove it. Cheers
