I thought EID only did penoscrotal


You’re correct, Eid does Penoscrotal. I corrected my prior post.

I’ll throw my two cents in…. So you have what you have in angle… the part that goes in dictates what angle comes out…it’s not uncommon even for Perito to send a patient home deflated… my dick always pointed almost straight out and guess what… after surgery and 6 months of exercise it still sticks straight out… if a Titan can straighten out a pyronies curve than it’s going to follow the path of what’s inside and continue outward

My pre-implant penis had a gentle curve to a nice high angle. I liked it that way. But I also concluded that I'd rather have it reliably hard than worry about the angle. I didn't even ask my doc about angle ahead of time. I figured it would be what it would be, and either way it wouldn't affect my decision.

Now, post-implant, it's pretty much straight out. That's my new favorite angle for my new favorite hard-whenever-I-want-it-to-be penis.

My theory is that the angle comes from a combination of the natural curve of your penis plus the exact direction that the base of your penis goes into your body. The part from the base of your penis won't change, but the implant will be pretty much exactly straight.

I happily observe that my penis has a gentle upward curve a bit more than I remember it having pre-implant. I think the curve has increased in the four years since implant. Probably a bit of scar tissue pulling on the upper side of the implant tubes.

The angle of my penis from base to tip is a bit lower than in my youth. In my teen years my erection very nearly touched my belly. As I grew older, my erection angle lowered, but was still nearly touching my belly. My belly reached out to my penis. See how that works?

One thing that has not been mentioned is the effect of rear tip extenders (RTEs). When the implant's proximal end is inserted into the pelvic crus, scar tissue forms around it and "sets" the angle the proximal (rear) end of the implant is pointed. But remember that the proximal end of the implant, especially if there are RTEs, does not expand during inflation. If no RTEs are used on a man with a deep crus, the scar tissue may form around the proximal end and even grip some of the inflatable rear of the tubes. If that is the case, the scar tissue will grip the rear of the implant tubes tighter when inflated than the scar tissue grips the unexpandable rear tip of the implant. This will give more stability to the erection. If the scar tissue does not grip the inflatable tube, the juncture between the solid reat of the implant and the inflatable portion acts as a hinge. I hope my explanation is clear enough (without a drawing, descriptions are tough).

Just think of it this way. Scar tissue forms a pocket that holds with a certain tension. If that pocket is gripping an inflatable tube, the grip gets tighter upon inflation. When deflated, the scar tissue stays in the same dimensions (scar tissue would stretch out if the tube was always inflated). So the inflation of the tubes effectivel tightens the grip and stabilizes the erection (at whatever angle it sits).
