What happens if you don't cycle for something like three months, in order to prevent premature break of the implant? Would this have any drawbacks? Would scar tissue form? Is it necessary to inflate every day?
Some experience with this. Thank you

Re: Titan implant, what happens if you dont cycle for a long time?
After your first 12 months of cycling I stopped and would cycle every few days.. I don't want encapsulation to happen which could hinder your size . Also it could cause an issue called stiction syndrome, causes the pump to not operate properly.

While mechanical devices can fail from roo many cycles, they can also fail from lack of use. Moving parts bind, valves can leak, springs can take a set.
I'd cycle it, at least once or twice a week.

58yo in good shape looking at Coloplast Titan. Tri-Mix still works but is a drag.
