Being Overweight and Having an Implant

Postby Campfire » Tue May 02, 2023 12:11 pm

Folks,

Wanted to ask whether being overweight and going for an implant is a no no? Need to lose about 44 pounds and am wondering whether that will affect it?

Any advice?

Thanks.

Okay good to know, thanks.

How about if you have the implant and continue to lose that extra 40-50 lbs, once you reach your ideal weight will that affect the implant? Will it move around into a bad spot etc? Or be negatively affected?

I'm 6'5" 290#. Yeah, I could lose a few pounds.

The exciting thing is they say for every 35 pounds you lose you add an inch to your dick length! I could be 9" by Christmas! :D

Nope, there are donuts that need eating. My wife will have to survive on 7".

No effect, no migration, no moving around.

The proximal ends of the implant rods/tubes go into your pelvic crus which is stable, regardless of weight. Fat does not accumulate there. Likewise, thedistal ends of the implant rods go into the tips of the corpus cavernosum (up inside your penis' glans). No fat accumulation there.

If you have thick thighs, you might feel the extra components in your scrotum, but you will get used to that.

If you have (as has been pointed out) a lot of "fat pad" over your pubic bone, it will hide your true penis' length and losing that fat will make your usable length longer. But in truth, your penis will be the same length. Just more of it will be visible...and usable. :D

No worries, Campfire.
