Does your implant wobble at the base when erect ?

I have 7 good inches of firm, towel hanging, implant and no problem completely draining.

Donnie, can you show us your dick with a towel hanging from it please? I don‘t doubt your words but just would like to see how it looks like. A towel of normal size, don‘t need to be a huge beach towel

Donnie's dick was still growing when I was here last. It may take a beach towel now.

Yea,
A wet one. Lol

I wonder if anyone's surgeon installed those dreaded RTEs and later developed a swivel so bad the implant had to be replaced.

You don't need to wonder, it has happened. I even think the video posted in the first post of this thread is an example of exactly this.

Beating guys down because their surgeon used RTEs is counterproductive. What the hell do you expect them to do about it? Have them removed?

I am not beating on guys with RTEs. That is not my goal or my purpose. I am just trying to explain to my best knowledge what I have learned (mostly from Dr. Eid) about RTEs. For the only reason that it will give guys who are about to get an implant a better chance to get a good result, by being informed and being able to discuss options with their surgeon. If I was about to have surgery now, I would definitely ask my surgeon about his view on RTEs. Normally nobody should use longer than 1.5 cm RTEs with a Titan and 2.5 cm with AMS. If he does, then I would like to know why, and if that is what he will do with me. Maybe he has a good reason, but I'd like him to explain this to me.

If someone then with an existing implant gets upset, well that's their problem. It is like it would be forbidden to say here on FT that a good placement of the pump is low in the scrotum. Because some poor bastard with his Baltimore-pump half way up his shaft would be upset. Doesn't make any sense to me. We must be able to say what is considered standard, what is desirable and what is not, how different parameters influence results.

From the groin, yes, but that is not how anybody else on this planet measures a dick. So nobody else would say you have a 7 inch dick. My dick is 12 inches if I measure from my butthole. And it is 1 meter if I measure from my chin. So what?
The towel hanging, well, you were just asked above to show a pic. But you didn't.

Do you have any significant proof to this bull shit you keep spouting off. All you are doing is repeating the same bull shit. Unless you are Dr you are not an expert on this subject. The use if RTE is a medicial decession that the surgeron has to make at the time he is there.
As for your constant berating of Donnie . I have seen his dick whar he says is true

Not sure I understand really what you mean, I guess you are a non native english speaker just like I am.
But proof to what bullshit? I was referring to what a doctor told me. So not sure what it is you want proof of, or what it is that you call bullshit?
Do you want proof that I did talk to Eid? Can be hard to provide since i didn't record our conversations. But you can e.g. look at the video in this thread where he talks about RTEs. And you can read on his webpage.
As for the bullshit, what is it that you call bullshit? Dr. Eid's opinion on RTEs? Or that I refer to what he says?
Hard to comment on either.

Yes, using RTEs is a medical decision. Taken by the doctor. I was referring to what one of the most famous implant surgeons said about those medical decisions. I am sure a lot of people find it interesting. I for one think it is vey interesting to read here when people refer to their docs opinions on various implant issues.

I don't think expressing different opinions and views is berating.

As for your last sentence "I have seen his dick whar he says is true", I don't understand shit. But maybe it is because I am not a native english speaker. Perhaps you could try to use some other way to express what you want, and I can reply to you.

I‘m not a native english speaker either but I have a university degree . I believe I‘m quite able to distinguish between facts and fiction. In my opinion there are only a handful valuable contributers to this forum and Merrix is by far the best. Sorry guys but if you don‘t realize that, well, there might be several explanations. I don‘t want to list them ‘cause it‘s not my intention to embarrass any of you. Merrix is doing a great job for which I‘m gtateful.

Okay wow, I never wanted any of you guys to fight over this.

Just in case it matters, I messaged Dr Hakky, and he said he tries to avoid using RTEs whenever possible because they do affect overall rigidity. However he did say that "there are occasions where Rear tip extenders are necessary especially for half centimeter length and for patients with odd lengths."

I've talked to another person here who is a patient of Dr Carrion, and he too said that Dr Carrion avoids using RTEs whenever possible for reasons of rigidity.

Dr. Eid has also said he doesn't use RTEs.

And while I've not been able to contact Dr, Kramer, there is a video on his youtube channel titled "Maximizing Implant Tips + Minizing Rear Tips is the key to an implant", so I'm presuming he avoids using them as well.

RTEs do seem to cause some loss of rigidity, that seems to be agreed by atleast quite a few top doctors.

What I want is to see is if it causes loss of rigidity to the extent shown in the video I posted in my first post. Specifically I want to hear from people who have had RTEs, whether their implant swivels and wobbles that badly ? It would be especially great if those people who have had their implants (with RTEs) for longer periods of time (say 7+ years) would chime in and tell us if they have a wobble, and if its significantly bad, or if its still pretty close/stiffer than to a natural erection.

Thanks.

I had a video consultation with Dr. Eid yesterday followed by him sending an email with 6 attachments. One of those was on maximizing size in which he mentioned RTE's. I would happily cut and paste his written opinion on the topic if anyone cares. For now, I will simply say that one of the reasons Dr. Eid leans toward Coloplast is that they come in 2 CM increments. This means if you need 22cm that you get 22 cm not 20 with a 2 cm RTE. If you need 23 CM then you get a 24 cm Coloplast with 1 cm of the fixed, non-inflating tip cut off. This gives you even less non-inflatable implant in the crus. He says in writing that surgeons, including him were trained to go with the smaller implant and use RTE's and were told that the portion of implant in the crus did not affect the quality of the erection but that while it does not affect the size of the erection, it clearly affects the quality as defined by angle of the erection and stability against wobble. I have seen a video of a redo on an individual with wobble. While I did not see a huge issue and would far prefer an erection with some wobble at the base to what I have now, there can be no mistake that the new implant without RTE's had far less wobble both to the sides and up and down.

Just to be clear, this is not to say he will NEVER use an RTE or that he thinks AMS is substandard. He thinks some cases specifically call for an AMS.

One of the many things I like about Dr. Eid is that he does pre-op measurements of a standing stretched penis and a standing tri-mix induced erection and "promises" his patients that their post-op size will match the preop erection measurement. Few surgeons use words like" promise".
