At about 77 days out (A newbie) I am very aware of the cylinders in my penis but not nearly as much as last month. Right now my flaccid is 6" and sticks straight up (on my back laying down) My pumped is just a little longer. I'm told that within a year the cylinders soften and act more naturally. Looking forward to that. Actually feeling myself just now I think my AMS pump has self inflated some. No wonder I got all of those stares today at work. Oh my. But seriously this is a prostheses like an artificial leg only better. Third leg.
I had hoped that by insisting on AMS I would have gotten soft immediately. Does not work that way. But ask me again a year from now and I will probably answer what implant oh yes that's right but I really don't notice it except at bedtime. That is my hope and goal.
Good luck finding the right Doctor makes all the difference.


Are you able to deflate to the point it does not point straight up when on your back? You should be able to deflate fully no matter how new your ams implant is. It can fill back up or autofill a bit on its own though. Flaccid does get softer and more natural over time.
