Curve returning after implant

[jimmi85]

I had my implant in Feb 14th this Year with Michael Fraser at Glasgow Nuffield. I chose him as I liked him and had heard good things about him.

I had an 18cm Titan with no RTE's, which surprised me given my pre-Peyronies size ( 8' ) and my pre implant size of 6'. I had the Implant to rectify a near 90 degree dorsal curvature rather than EQ.

I am undersized, and this has been confirmed by another surgeon, Professor Ralph, I am due an MRI in 2 weeks to establish the best course of action from here but it is near certain i will have a revision early next year with a larger implant. i have very floppy glans, so much so they sit at a 60-70 degree angle to the shaft and the tubing is also very palpable and sitting very high so this also needs to be moved at the same time.

Over the last 6 weeks or so i have noticed my Dorsal curvature returning, and am unsure why this might be? Ultimately, if i am looking at a revision for a larger implant a returning curvature isn't the end of the world, short term, but i am interested to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience?

I am also a little worried short term, about the tips of the cylinders breaking the skin of the shaft as they do not go anywhere near the glans due to them being so short. When masturbating they feel as though they are rubbing against the skin and clearly a protrusion of the tips would mean almost certainly an infection and likely removal of the implant - Again, has anyone had any experience of this happening either themselves or 'through the grapevine' ?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

My guess would be because you’re undersized and the cylinders aren’t going out to mid glans as the should!I’ll bet when you get a revision you will loose a lot of that.My implant took 99.9% of my left curve out!Good luck!

[jimmi85]

Thanks, that makes sense as the tips end just as the top part of the shaft and glans increase in angle even further.

Still plenty of dick there. At least the curve is towards the end. Mine is towards the base which makes traditional positions very difficult. Good luck Bro.

Hey man you aren't alone. I had my curve return over 2 years after my surgery. My surgeon, Dr. Eid, this that this was caused by me not inflating my implant for a long period of time (~4 months) 2 years after the surgery. I was just so busy with work (in a good way) that I didn't feel like messing around with my dick. I distinctly remember being told that the curve could not come back, but now Eid and Hakky (second opinion) believes that my tunica weakened from not inflating for a long time and therefore the curve came back.

My advice: seek a surgeon who specializes in and can clearly outline the exact course of action they will take to correct your scarring. Both Hakky and Clavell (there are others, but these are the 2 I am choosing between) I have very clear methods for dealing with curvature and the scarring that causes curvature. I am also getting a MRI soon to confirm what exactly is going on (there could also be the potential that there is a kink in the implant).

Hakky also has me doing VED for 8 weeks to see if that corrects the curvature enough to forego a revision. He actually recommends VED daily anyways to help keep the post-surgical tissue stretched out along with daily inflating (VED while inflated). Its only 4 days into this but I already feel like my dick is "healthier" now with VED, but its still the beginning and no curve reduction yet.

Once I have my second opinion from Clavell, get my MRI results, and do VED daily for 8 weeks, I will decide on the revision.

Here is my curve, left base:



There are definitely ways to correct what we have.

Jimmi85,

Hi pal,

You're making progress at least. The MRI will be very interesting to confirm what is going on.

Early next year sounds like a long time to wait, no?

Is this on the NHS? I assume it must be.

How high is your tubing?

My tubing also seems quite high compared to other's.
I don't think I would undergo surgery just to correct this, but I was disapointed to find it so high.
It goes about a quarter of the way up the shaft.

[jimmi85]

Thanks everyone for all your advice.

Leorastbeef, I saw Mike Fraser privately and don’t really want to fork out another £15k when another top surgeon can see me for free under the NHS. I dot. Mind waiting, it’s not like it’s broken or doesn’t work it’s just not how it should be.

I am looking forward to the MRI results, and am keen to establish exactly how short I am. I would estimate a good 3-4 cm by what I’ve been told.

The tubing is probably about 20% up the shaft which prof ralph has said is costing me half an inch in itself . It is also uncomfortable to sit for long periods which shouldn’t be the case and there is no way a girl would not notice the tubing if I didn’t come clean about the implant - something which most say shouldn’t happen.

[LeRoastBeef]

I understand your attitude on the financial side of things, as I too waited a long time on the NHS.
Although that wasn't just to save money, it was specifically to be operated on by Mike.

My tubing is noticeable too, I assumed that's just the way it had to be. That there would have to be a long loop to allow the saline to circulate with minimum resistance.

I assume the tubing you have issue with is that from the pump to the reservoir?
It comes up from the pump, loops around, runs back town and off into your abdomen?

Did Ralph explain how he would move the tubing further down?
Would he just shorten it?

I would not pump to the max or masturbate at this time. You are right to fear that cylinder tips could break through the skin.
I also understand the high cost of this surgery. You can wait but not go again under the knife of the same surgeon at all. No one with 6" dick gets 18cm cylinder without RTE. Mathematically not possible.

[jimmi85]

I won’t be using the same surgeon, he is still denying I am undersized and won’t take responsibility.

That’s good advice about not pumping fully, it’s a fine line between maximising growth by cycling and not doing myself any damage. I’m not in a relationship currently but I don’t want to go 6-8 months celibate, so hopefully I can find a middle ground short term.

I would have thought that me being fairly large pre Peyronies would have meant I had more room for growth , you can see from the pic that the cylinder tips are way below where they should be.

Depending on the MRI results I am tempted to lodge a complaint / claim to get my costs back and use them to go privately again with the new surgeon to speed things up but I don’t know how viable that is or long long it might take.
