I'm really sorry to hear about your implant journey .....my first implant i had the same problem as you my surgery was over 5 hrs after 2 hours they gave up couldn't get it in luckily the Rep was in a different operation that was the same problems as mine and a more experienced doc got it in......after a long call they came back and not pretty but got the implant in lasted over 6 years so glad they didn't give up when i had my revision last July very easy went smooth.....I'm like others on here i think if they can get one in a severe peyronine patients should be ok fixing you....i get you love your Doc but might be worth a few phone calls to other docs high volume that have seen it all before i gave up
just my thoughts

Is there any way to tell if we have internal scarring that’s not obvious from outside? In your case, did you know beforehand?

No way man, go to Dr Hakky or something , there has to be some way!

I agree with DongDangler.
Dr. Brian Christine is an excellent surgeon, but it's always wise to get a second or even third opinion. You never know what might be possible through different specialists.

I think the stretch test might show it. My dr mentioned that I didn't have any fibrosis. In hind sight, I take that to mean that as he pulled. My penis stretched. I suspect scar tissue doesn't stretch very well.

to answer your question no ...no one knew before hand when i explained it to the new doc that did my second one it seemed like he had been there before so I'm not sure if there a test or not but all worked out...it was scary to wake up to all the stiches and what they did but time heals all

To a small extent using those blurry black and white ultrasounds

An excerpt from Dr Eid's website:
"Combining the penile injection test with duplex ultrasonograpy will provide additional information on the cause of the dysfunction as well as further evaluated the erectile muscle of the penis. This test uses real-time ultrasonography to visualize the cavernosal arteries and muscle tissue, allowing for the detection of abnormalities such as fibrosis and calcifications of the erectile muscle as well as change in the measurements of the diameter of each cavernosal artery in response to the penile injection."
