Hello,

I had my implant surgery 2 days back from Dr. Billy Cordon at Miami. I will give a link to my journal below.
I had a question with members at large. I have been left partially inflated (about 50-60%) I would imagine. Due to this I can feel the cylinders in my shaft and depend on position of my underwear or sitting posture, the shaft gets into various different shapes. Sometimes its bent from top forming a curve, or sometimes more straight.
Is that something normal? Do I need to keep straightening it out from time to time?

I will reach out to the doctor’s team but it being a weekend I am
Not sure if I will get an early reply. Many thanks.

Since Dr. Cordon allegedly follows Dr. Eid’s methods, I’m thinking you are actually less than 50-60% inflated. You are probably closer to deflated if it’s bending as you describe. It’s quite normal for Dr. Eid to discharge his patients deflated and then encourages early cycling.

I’m curious when Dr. Cordon will suggest that you start cycling and did he use the water proof surgical glue over the stitches so you can start hot bathes in a few days?

No harm straightening the bends especially if they cause discomfort. Otherwise there’s no need to push the panic button as it sounds normal from the perspective of a Dr.Eid patient.

Yeah, I agree with Flounder. There is no reason to panic. I would try your best to keep it straight, and just do what your Doc suggests. This is major reconstructive surgery so you will need to give yourself 4-5 weeks of recovery before you start to feel more like your old self.

My Titan did that at first too. It might feel like you're inflated, but the Titan cylinders are just that stiff. They will soften up in a couple months. Wear nothing if you have to so your penis won't be irritated by underwear or pants.
The first week is always the toughest.

Thanks all. Dr. Cordon actually leaves one partially inflated and starts cycling after 2 weeks. He is different from Dr. Eid in this regard. He also does not use the same sutures as Dr Eid on the outside and hence they are not water proof. He told me he doesn’t like that patient has to come in 14 days to remove sutures.
I am attaching pictures of my day 2. If anyone can comment basis what you see?

I wrote about all this in my post on the topic of Dr. Eid being on leave. I will add that post to my journal as well.

Thank you for helping me with these insights. I am very scared as this was my first surgery ever. I got constipation yesterday which was so painful. I feel better today and will fly back to NJ tomorrow from Miami.
