you are at least 2-3 cm short of implant length

go to see a high volume doctor, and post the name of your doctor so other can avoid him

I agree with this, seems to be the bottomline

Sent an email to my consultant today so I'm waiting to hear back from him. I'd love to go out of the country with someone else but it won't be covered by insurance.

Wishing you the best with this. I hope you get a solid solution soon. How long do you usually have to wait to get a surgery date scheduled?

Thanks, I waited the last time around 2 months but it will depend on his schedule I suppose and if that's the direction he wants to take. I just want to have everything sorted at this point so I can heal and move on.

The CXR device is the narrow cylinder model. It is used when the doctor cannot dilate the corpora enough to install the regular CX or LGX cylinders. It would seem that not only could your doctor not dilate your corpora but could not size the device correctly also. It is commonly accepted that the first install is the easiest. Or rather that revisions are more difficult. I would check and see if there is another better doctor available to you as the revision will be more difficult. In the US there are doctors that have the skill and would do the extra work to open up the corpora to be able to use the CX or LGX in all but extreme cases. And then then when the narrow cylinder runs its normal life cycle and has to be replace the years of cycling will then permit the use of a regular cylinder replacement.

Hey Newbie, i am seeing your signature and see you were implanted by Dr Kramer, i also like watching his surgery videos on youtube. Wanted to ask you. Do you recommend Dr Kramer? Did he do a good job?

Based on your signature it gives the impression that Kramer caused a perforation in your corpora which had to be fixed by another Dr? Let me know if i understood your signature wrong.

hi MS_Man it doesn't take a new doctor to understand that the tips do not enter the glans, make sure you assert yourself to get a revision, I don't know if it is possible to get justice in your country, it seems that these implantologists are in an iron barrel

So I had my consultation today and I indeed have an issue with the glans. I've been prescribed cream and pellets to help with hardening it and scheduled for a circumcision in January to take pressure off the glans.

I've been told the rods are in as far as they can go and every person is different in relation to how far in they go.

He told me I've already increased slightly in length.

Whats everyone's take on this? Is it a case of it is what it is or is it a case of being undersized?
