Chances of revision surgery
I continue to experience swelling under my glans, though there’s no redness, pus or discharge. I'm three months post-op with Coloplast. I have doctor appointment next week. Could anyone let me know what to expect, including both potential positive and negative scenarios?

Re: Chances of revision surgery
Hopefully you have a good urologist/surgeon, I don't know if it is oversized but they should be able to tell you.

I occasionally feel like the implant might be diametrically oversized. If that turns out to be the diagnosis, would surgeons typically recommend revision surgery to adjust to a smaller diameter?

What was your natural girth before the implant?
Early 30s with ED for years from penis enlargement stretching and jelqing. Implant by Dr Eid on 24 June 2021 with a Titan 24cm with +1cm RTE on one side and -1cm cut off on the other side

Re: Chances of revision surgery
Is your problem when you pump or is it in the flaccid state,, and how often are you cycling?

Re: Chances of revision surgery
I don't think it is something serious. Could be just swelling that needs some more time to heal. Maybe your doctor will ask you to apply warm compresses and icing.

My mistake, I didn't measure my pre-implant girth. I've been dealing with severe ED my whole life. My VED max length was 6 inches, and after the surgery, my length is exactly 5 inches.

Due to poor hand dexterity after surviving a stroke, I was recommended a pumpless device. It is always in an erect state, but I can bend it to a concealable state.

That's reassuring to hear, thank you. I hope the urologist doesn't diagnose an infection or oversizing.
