Hi!
In your signature it is stated that you are planning to install ams 700. Which model exactly? lgx or cx? I have one last question before the surgery - the choice of implant. It is a difficult choice between titan and cx. I have a fairly large girth of 6.3 inches = 16 cm. I am more inclined to cx in favor of its more natural look in the deactivated state, but I am afraid to lose a little in girth after installing cx compared to titan, which is embarrassing with its unnatural flaccid look and possible problems with tube erosion. I am 37 years old. Previously, I underwent vein ligation surgery, which led to complications and scarring. After this damned surgery, I came to this forum.

-how long you have had the implant?

6-2023 iplanted .... revision 6-2024 due to undersizing

-What brand implant?

Rigicon 10 mallabble

-any revision

Yes 6-2024

-Are you happy the decision and would you do it again?

Overall yes .. not happy with the surgeon's BS but the implant yes

-are your partner satisfied?

Partner is no longer involved in a relationship sexualy so hard to say

-would you do something differently like a before surgery preparation?, different brand implant?, different surgeon?

Wish I would have had more than 6 weeks to use a VED before surgery .. Brand would more than likely remain the same .. I supposedly went to one of the best surgeons in my area for this type of surgery .. but since it is a teaching hospital I'm no longer sure who has been doing my 3 surgeries.

Medicare first implant copay not bad ..6-2024 was considered an emergency surgery so 2 days in the hospital was quite a bit more.

-4 Weeks
-CXR AMS 700
-Not yet
-Still early days but I'm going to say Yes. However I but would ask more questions surrounding other models after finding the forum.
-No - still early days. Seeing how it goes. Other issues involved.
-Did everything I believed I could to prepare myself, pumps, exercises etc. Only one surgeon in my country that does it so I didn't have an option if I wanted it covered under insurance. If money isn't an issue I would have researched the names spoke about on here and gone with someone with more experience. Still early days so I'll reserve judgement on my own surgeon for now.
- Health insurance cover I have through work covered everything for the surgery over a small excess for a few nights stay. (Surgery decision based on having that area impacted by MS)

About seven months post-op. AMS-700. No revisions. Totally happy and would absolutely do it again. Partner is very satisfied. Fully covered by insurance.

- Got implanted 6 weeks ago
- Rigicon Infla10x
- no revsion yet
- I am aware, that it is early, but as of right now I am not happy with the decision, I lost 4cm in length and chances are, they wont come back
- I would not do anything different, because I did everything in my power. Surgery with 2 doctors. One is the highly respected doc in central europe, the other is the doc with most implants done world-wide, so I dont think that was my fault
- my insurance paid everything
