Can I Increase length with Traction Device

Postby Gatorman97 » Sun Dec 22, 2024 1:20 pm

Hey guys,

On 10/28 I had a Titan implanted, but unfortunately developed an infection 4 weeks later. I started off at 5.75 bone pressed so not very big. The first surgery I lost .25 inches and thought I’d make gains by inflating. Then came the infection.

They put in a salvage recovery malleable on 12/6. However, I lost an additional 1/2 inch. Now I’m down to just 5 inches bone pressed and it really sucks - I feel like I have been cheated of what I was given which was not great to begin with.

Recovery is going nicely and I can start lifting again in 12 days, hopefully will be cleared for sex in 3 and a half weeks.

My focus is on healing and I’d consider a revision to a an IPP down the line if I could get back original size. But I’d rather not depending on “field testing.’ I’m pretty fit, 51, and weigh what I did in college.

Has anyone else had success with use of traction devices to add a modicum of length? Honestly even half an inch would make me happy at this point. I’d really prefer not to have another surgery if I can avoid it.

I’m sorry to hear that, did they figure out the reason/kind of infection?
