I was in a very similar situation about 3 years ago when I got my implant. I was nervous but was ready and committed! Been the best decision I’ve made in the last decade! Never looked back and have been trying to wear this thing out for almost 3 years.
Do what you and your Dr decide and jump in headfirst! Going with Hackey seems like a great logical choice! Personally I wouldn’t consider a malleable. I want the ability to get rock hard or deflated when I want. Not saying a malleable is a bad thing…. I just preferred the ipp. If it broke in the near future, I would go back with another but hoping I’ll get 8-10 years out of this one. Talk to your Dr and read all you can about both types and make up your own mind. People w malleables tend to think they are the best and the ipp is bad. Most with ipps think malleable is bad. They all have their advantages. Just whatever is right for you and go for it. Sound like your ready for an implant in your walk with ED but again it’s up to you. One e you go implant you’ll always have to have an implant… but I was sick and tired of dealing with g with ED and all the stresses and inconsistency of pills and shots. Not it’s like I’m a teenager again. It’s ready any time I am.
Looking to get an implant.

I am naturally 7” length and 6” girth. Will a malleable allow me to keep most of that ? Are they rigid enough for anal sex ? I’m pretty sure they are a once and done thing. That sounds very appealing since I’m only 52. Can an inflatable be used if I change my mind later ? Thanks for the feedback.
As someone who had (past tense) girth of 6.25 - I wouldn't go with a Malleable. I got the AMS 700 CX which expands in girth - and so far the best I can do is about 5.5" with engorgement - which as I read is about the limit. Some people claim 6" in girth, but so far I don't see any real photographic evidence of this - or if so its not a 'natural' engorgement along with an implant. If you are concerned with girth, go with the Titan IPP if you are in the US or the Rigicon elsewhere. Also for anal you'll want an IPP - a Malleable might work, but why worry?
A good surgeon will help you keep your length - but definitely get the implant done soon - the deformity from injections can be an absolute bitch (check my journal for pics of what I had to go through) though the implant can help correct those.
I may have lost size from the Peyrone's but I'm still glad I have an IPP - being able to perform whenever I want is the best! Kinda mitigates the size issue - lol.

Re: Looking to get an implant.
If the max dose of injections works, avoid implants whenever possible. Malleables sacrifice girth but remain the most reliable option on the market. Inflatables? Their lifespan’s a gamble...1 to 20+ years. Worst case, you’re replacing them yearly. Multiple infections or revisions could erase those hyped-up size gains. It’s a rollercoaster ride that fattens surgeons’ wallets, boosts manufacturers’ profits, and pads hospital coffers, but for some patients, it’s pure hell. Before deciding, read both 1 star and 5 star reviews to make an informed choice, I wouldn't just chase the glowing ones. 1 star reviewers often vanish from forums. Ever see a post about a post-implant penectomy or someone dying from implant induced sepsis in the ER? Neither have I. If you’re set on this path, hope for the best but brace for the worst. There’s no right or wrong choice, just the heavy weight of owning the one you make. That said, get that Coloplast Titan from Dr. Hakky, but know what you're signing up for!

Re: Looking to get an implant.
After talking to the doc. I’m pretty sure the trimix is what is giving me the curve and the hourglass. I stopped them about 3 weeks ago and some of the hour glass is going away. I had a natural of about 10*. But now it’s at 30* and doesn’t seem to have corrected any with me stopping the shots. I will use the shots very sparingly until surgery and then hopefully everything turns out right and all I’ll need is a new implant every 10 years. The wife is worried I will be wanting to bang everything in sight but that’s her only argument about getting it done. Lol. On a side note do you guys with implants still get that morning wood feeling when you wake up ? Thanks.

Yeah - its not the trimix, but a combination of the erection, and fibrosis / scar tissue building up from the injection itself. Same thing happened to me. I developed a curve from Peyrones caused by prostatectomy (there is some connection - unknown why some people get it from that) but again - had deformation from the inejctions - implant took care of that. I.e. the implant (IPP AMS 700 CX) was rigid enough to correct the issues.

Re: Looking to get an implant.
Did it make you straight ? How bad was the curve and hourglassing. I have stopped the injections and hourglass is starting to go away. My curve is about 30* and I’m curious how straight it will be. Thanks.

But if your feelin lucky and wanna take a wild rollercoaster ride full of ups, downs, and expensive pit stops, go on and get an inflatable. It's not fun crying when it leaves you stranded, unless sure you have good insurance, health and bank balance for inflatables and their subsequent revisions.
Your body, your choice.
Can confirm this. Ain't fancy, but I'll be damned if I don't get wide-eyed reactions every time a woman reaches for my junk and it's 100% ready to go.
Also dude I am seriously enjoying your username, lol. Nicely done!
