A disastrous implant revision

[TenDan]

Dear friends,

I underwent an implant revision 15 days ago. Instead of going to a major center, I decided to use a doctor close to my home. It turned out to be the worst experience.

Without informing me (and without any apparent need), he did not use the Space of Retzius. Instead, he placed the reservoir ectopically in my abdomen. Since I am thin, the result looks terrible.

On top of that, he failed to position the pump correctly, leaving it where my left testicle should be.

As if that were not enough, I suspect he may have left part of the previous implant in my scrotum, because I can now feel four separate masses there, one of them exactly in the spot where the previous pump used to be.

Now it looks like I will have to start all over again...

I am attaching a photo showing the reservoir bulging just below my waistline. As you can see, it is very noticeable. Has anyone here ever seen anything like this or experienced something similar?

An awful implant revision.

That all sounds pretty bad. Get an MRI with a major surgeon.

For some reassurance I felt I could see my resevoir bulge for the first few days... I'm two months post and I can still feel it
