I am considering an implant. However I have 2 young sons, 6 months and almost 3 years old. They sit on my lap and we take baths together, normal father/son stuff. It’s hard for me to imagine, but for those with implants, would it be weird being naked around your young kids with a penile implant?
I think your main concern should be protecting yourself from your kids injuring you while you're recovering.
After the surgery, my doctor left me 60% inflated for two weeks. He also instructed me to keep my dick pointed up towards my belly button. These protocols were to encourage proper healing around the implant. I also couldn't lift more than five pounds during that period of time, and I had to be careful how I sat, so I wasn't compressing the pump.
After two weeks, my doctor deflated me and instructed me to slowly build back up to normal physical activity. And I had to wait another six weeks before I got the okay for sex. Again, this was to ensure that I didn't damage something during the healing process.
I'm telling you all this because little kids can be unpredictable and rough. You'll need to guard against them jumping in your lap, accidentally kicking, hitting, elbowing, or haedbutting you in the crotch, or jumping up on you while you're standing or lying down. You won't be able to pick them up for a few weeks, and they won't understand that
As far as how you look, once you're healed, your dick looks pretty natural. It takes a while for the cylinders to soften, so you might not hang down as much as you did before the implant for a while. Also, if you are now a grower, your dick will look different than before because you will become a shower.
I hope this helps.
