glans penis after implant

[Freddyboy]

Hi Jackhammer (great handle btw). I too researched for weeks on the topic of implants which led me to this forum. My surgeon has nowhere near the experience of some of the docs I hear mentioned on here. There aren't many (if any) experts in Canada and there was no way I could afford US$20,000 or more for the procedure in the states so I opted for what was available here. She explained that she had great difficulty in getting thru the fibrosis she found and was concerned that she may even perforate the glans from inside by trying to get the dilator in any further. I suppose a more experienced surgeon may have taken the risk? Anyway she has agreed to reassess the situation and maybe do a revision.

I am just nine days out from surgery, but can tell you my cylinders extend about 2/3 to 3/4 into my glans so not floppy at all.

Do the tips feel hard in the glans or do they feel natural i.e. "spongy"?

Freddyboy,
I suggest you seek second opinion. In the Vancouver area, there're 2 other urologists who perform the implant: Dr. Rapoport (Richmond) and Dr. Nigro (VGH) and it's all covered. Good luck.

Robert,
I have an AMS700LGX implant. The tips on mine are firm. My glans looks natural but you would definitely be able to feel the cylinders if you were to touch my glans.

If she has agreed to reassess it and do a revision, you have to respected that form her. Lot of Doctors would not return the call.

Dont let the word dilator fool you. The dont dilate anything it removing stuff to make room for parts.

You may ask her if she will consult with another surgreon on a procdure to get the tips where the belong. Without being smartass patient ask if she viewed any of the procedural video my the surgeons that have good techniques.
I love it surgery by youtube

Same here, guys. Looks natural but if you were to touch and/or gently squeeze the glans you would be able to feel the tips of my cylinders. But I don't care.
