Implanted 9/30 with Dr Karaman in Istanbul (pg 4 starts Day 1)

[Andy100]

Just a quick update. The VED is helping with vascularity if nothing else. I've noticed that when I'm all the way pumped to the max that I can stand, the head of my penis is engorged, but cold to the touch. I think the placement of my cylinder tips being so far into the head of my penis makes the part around the glans expand the the point it cuts off blood flow. It seems to be fine for an hour or so, but I wouldn't want to have it inflated longer than that. I don't plan to inflate to the absolute max I can take when having sex anyway.

Size restoration has been a pleasant surprise. Right now at my current max when engorged, it's about a bone-pressed 7.8" long and 6.2" in girth mid-shaft. As far as I can tell, it's either equal to, or a bit bigger than it was pre-surgery.

The job with the tubing is a bit of a mess, in my opinion. There's stiff tubing on both sides at the base of my shaft. I would imagine it being uncomfortable during sex. Hopefully it will soften over time.

I'm getting used to being a shower. I'm pretty conscious of it still, so it's slightly embarrassing. I doubt anyone is paying attention to it as much as I am, but I don't know. I'm definitely uncomfortable in tighter dress pants. The gym...whatever. I'm just not the type that wants to blatantly show off, at the same time, it's cool that there's obviously something down there that's large enough to be seen. Visible is cool, in your face and clearly showing off...nah.

Hi jakerip

Thanks for your continued updates. I just wanted to ask you if you are satisfied or not with the work done by Karaman? From what I read it seems like a 50/50

Ahh this point, I'd say 60/40 leaning in the positive. There are certainly things that could have been done better, but it's functional (I think). The negatives are the post-op care, cylinder placement and tubing placement. If I could do it all over with money not being an issue, I'd choose a different, high-volume implanter. That said, Dr Karaman seems to have gotten the job done, though a bit crudely.
