Would you go through it again to gain an inch?

LMCatman, did you get any growth after doing the modeling?

Here's what I'm pretty sure went on with mine. I had scar tissue, mostly on the left side near the base, with a few spots elsewhere. The result was a bend to the left of 25 to 30 degrees. My 'long side was still 6". My shorter side was about 5 1/2" or a bit less.

In surgery to correct the curve from Peyronies, they stitch the long side tunica to match. I'm sure that it's no different with an implant. The cylinders will only be as long as the shorter side will allow. I don't understand why a material can't be put into the shorter side to make up for the loss of length in that tunica.

Dr. Milam wasn't shy about putting the tips into the glans. They're probably 1/4" or less under the skin at the tip. I give him credit for that.

What I don't understand is how Kramer can say in a video that the patient won't lose any length, Eid can say that you'll lose a fraction, but Milam said "you're going to lose length" twice before surgery, almost like a last chance warning. And I lost a considerable amount.

It looks like I'll be flying to NYC to see Dr. Eid in a couple of weeks. We could do a video conference, but a face-to-penis meeting is the best way to assess.

I was doing the modeling in the weeks immediately after my second surgery. I did not notice any growth really for months. You get pretty used to how it is and don't measure for months at a time. It doesn't hurt and it shows me a good time. The shrinkage could have been atrophy from the 2.5 years between my RP and implant......

Regarding curvarure pre and post op:
I had a pretty bad curvature pre op. Both in the base as in the base was pointing out of the body already to the left, and as a curvature along the shaft. Adding up and making the glans point 45 degrees to the left.
Eid said he would not take any special actions to fix it. He would probably insert an RTE on one side because of the curvature, and it would still be there post-op.
However, when I woke up he sais he'd managed to dillute enough to skip the single RTE and he thought my curvature would be much improved.
It is. Almost to the point where I don't notice it. I'd say It points a tiny few degrees to the left only.
