Cycling question for those that had IPP revision surgery.

Were you told to cycle the same, more or less than when you received your original implant? I thought with a revision it may be a little less.

I think it depends on how much they are able to increase the size. Usually it seems like 1-2 cm is average if you've had the original implant for a while.

I was told to aggressively cycle since I had a plaque incisions with my last implant. It was not easy and things were very sore and painful when fully inflated for a while (6 months). But then I turned a corner.

What actual size ( visible, usable )did you gain after your revision?

2 weeks after the revision what my surgeon said, carefully. 6 weeks to use it, didn't wait nearly that long.
