Young Guy with New Implant & Curious on Hiding options.
Posted: Tue Jul 30, 2024 9:05 pm
Hello everybody, Ive been reading posts for awhile and decided to jump in and join you all on here.
I got my implant on the 23rd so I'm a week out, and I think i've lost some, but with everything i've read that's not even something I should be looking at currently as time will tell me where I will be. Unfortunately, I have to go to work tomorrow and I haven't been able to find a way to hide it properly yet, and certainly not comfortably so. I naturally hang downward a bit, so pointing it up is extremely uncomfortable, plus it dog ears at the base which I'd imagine isn't great for the implant when its about 60% inflated. I've watched my surgeons vids (Dr. Clavell) and also asked him for any words of wisdoms and he basically said go with whats most comfortable, so I wanted to check in with the community on if they have any personal experience similar to mine and what they did? If I point it up its the most uncomfortable and a bit easier to hide, but dog ears near the base. If I go more with my natural hang and push it over to the left and wear david archy's and also another pair of underwear on top of that then its more comfy, but a bit more noticable. I think i'll inevitably have to deal with this being noticable at work till I can cycle, but i'm hoping someone has ideas that may have a bit of a natural hang downwards like me lol. I guess ill tell them I got hit in the nuts with a baseball or something and it caused swelling . Not sure if its relevant but my work attire is a dress shirt and tie with slacks.
For reference I got the Coloplast Titan OTR and had it done with Dr. Clavell.
