Re: Impant docs in Ohio, Michigan area?
I’m from northern central Illinois. I was implanted in April this year by my urologist locally. He got most of it right, but due to scar tissue, left the tips a bit short of the glans. I was not satisfied with the outcome and a few months later drove to Chicago to see what Dr Levine thought. He said...
Glanspexy
I’m scheduled for glanspexy surgery in October. I’m wondering if anyone reading this board has ever had the procedure, and if so, how was the surgery and the result? Also curious if insurance picked up the cost. Thanks.

Re: Cycling 3-4x per day to maximize length / tips into glans ?
I’m three months out from my surgery. I am in the exact same situation as what you’re describing. My surgeon had no detailed explanation like yours did. He just simply said I had scar tissue that he couldn’t penetrate through. My glans no longer has tumescence and also really not much feeling in it ...

Re: Revision with Dr Levine
Gt1956, I have not seen his name listed by any members on this board, that is true. However, his practice is listed on this website as a center of excellence for implant procedure. He’s an older doctor, so to me, I thought it plausible that he had enough experience to implant many, many patients ove...

Re: Revision with Dr Levine
They’re at the very end of my shaft. We discussed the issue today on a follow-up appointment. He told me he wanted to see me every six months so he could watch for erosion problems. I was told not to leave it inflated for long periods of time. He then told me I have a very large shaft but a small gl...

Re: Revision with Dr Levine
I don’t know. I was puzzled by his remarks after the surgery. I still am. After reading about some of the major problems experienced by several of the members on this board; and subsequently being successfully treated, I thought getting through scar tissue would be a fairly routine problem to solve....

Re: Revision with Dr Levine
Thank you for your reply. I think your response is right on the money. I left his office in disbelief. I hope the insurance company will pick up the cost of the procedure. That’s a nice chunk of change to personally cover for something that shouldn’t have happened. Appreciate your input.

Revision with Dr Levine
Hello FT brotherhood members, It’s just my second post on FT. I was implanted on 4/13/21 by my local urologist. He is a very experienced surgeon and claims to have implanted thousands of patient’s penises. He got most of it right but left my cylinders short of my glans because of scar tissue interfe...

Re: 2 and half weeks after surgery
Yes. My doctor said he thought I was ready to use it. I was very surprised as well. I think I might wait a couple weeks or so to use it again. I am still sore. I had the infrapubic approach. They took the staples out one week afterward and the incision looks very nice. There are still stitches in th...

Re: 2 and half weeks after surgery
Hi tolergl, This is my first post on this most informative website. I too, was implanted in April 13th. I have the same brand as you and was told it is 22 cm. I have all the same issues to deal with that you listed with your implant. My doctor informed me on Wednesday, April 28th, that he felt I was...
