I am a 60 year young guy living in the D-FW area of Texas, who is likely facing a revision of my one year old IPP surgery in the visible future. My issues include a glans that is rotated quite noticeably counterclockwise...resulting in urination and aesthetic issues, etc...my pump bulb being misplaced too high and far forward...thus creating issues during intercourse, as well as general comfort...and an excessive (+/- 2 inch) loss of erect length, caused by retracting scar tissue formation during an extended post operative period (4-6 weeks) during which I was not able or cleared by my surgeon to inflate due to various complications, including extraordinary swelling, etc. I also have visible lower abdominal scarring from my surgery that I would eventually (if not simultaneously) like to correct. The FrankTalk 'fraternity' seems to strongly favor Dr Eid and Dr Kramer, and I am trying to evaluate the respective advantages of these two doctors before starting down the road to my necessary revision surgery...so I greatly appreciate any feedback and guidance that experienced members might be willing to share with me. I currently have an AMS LGX implant. I am not sure if insurance covers any of the costs associated with such a revision surgery...not to mention my concerns about the costs linked to a several day trip back east to hopefully correct the challenges I am dealing with. What I do know is that I am praying for a more positive experience and outcome than my previous surgery and aftermath. Thank you in advance to those willing to share your experiences and advice!

Samsdad: You might want to repost this in the "Implants" section for more input from the gang here. If your insurance will cover it (and I'd bet it will per many of the revision posts I've read) make sure you check w/ Dr. Kramer. I'm sure Southwest flies out of DFW to BWI (Baltimore) so you could save there. His practice is supposedly the #1 revision center in the world. Sounds like you had an infrapubic procedure before...seems like a high percentage of revisions involve an initial infrapubic procedure gone wrong. Both Kramer & Eid do penoscrotal & IMHO, you can't go wrong w/ either one.
