30 yo French - AMS 700 CX - Implant journal

Postby Hope84 » Wed Dec 04, 2024 12:51 pm

Hi,

It has been over two years now that I have been lurking on this website to gather as much information as possible about penile implants. After a long hesitation period, I decided to bite the bullet and go ahead with the surgery.

I am currently in a Parisian private clinic (Clinique Turin), awaiting my surgery tomorrow morning 8am. I will receive the AMS 700 CX with the MS pump (the new Tenacio was unavailable, I don’t know anyways if I would have wanted such a new product). The surgeon is Dr Sébastien Beley, the highest volume implant surgeon in France.

Although not as famous as Eid, Hakky, Perito, and other big names across the pond, he does around 100 implants per year and has performed over 1,500 such surgeries in his career. He has a YouTube channel, has great online reviews (though most of those relate to other cares than penile implants), and comes across as a competent, passionate and fairly honest professional. The downside is that I have never spoken to one of his implant patients.

Strangely, I do not feel too nervous at this stage. I brought some Lexomil with me (i.e. Bromazepam, an anti-anxiety medicine), but I have not (yet) taken any. After booking this surgery back in late October, I had a few sleepless nights coupled with horrendous nightmares, where I had a bad infection, had to have the implant removed, and was left with nothing for months, resulting in severe atrophy. This is a possibility, albeit a very unlikely one, in particular considering my attributes: I’m 30 years old, I do not smoke, I don’t have diabetes, I eat very healthily (I even cut out refined sugar from my diet some weeks ago in anticipation of this surgery), and my surgeon is high-volume.

I think that dreaming - multiple times - of the worst case scenario made me better prepared to cope with adversity, if such a situation was to materialise. Moreover, I firmly believe that knowledge is a weapon against fear, and if there is one topic on which I have gained tremendous amounts of knowledge, it is penile implants. Heck, I think I would qualify for a PhD in penile implants considering the hundreds, maybe more than a thousand hours spent on Franktalk, Reddit, exchanging by WhatsApp and sometimes even phone calls with some of you. This process has given me a comprehensive overview of people’s experiences, fears, regrets, and advices regarding penile implants and ED in general that has comforted me in my choice to go for an IPP.

Judging on the hundreds of testimonies I have come across, I can safely say that the lion’s share of implanted patients are very satisfied with their choice, despite the drawbacks and the obstacles some had to cope with. I may ultimately be part of the few unsatisfied (most likely in case of bad complications), but with the parameters I am given, I know that this is the right thing to do.

That being said, I hope the surgery and recovery goes well. I will be given 12 days of sick leave, and after that I am on holiday anyways, so I essentially have a month to recover, though I won’t be bored as I am studying for an exam in parallel of my job.

I will keep posting on this thread as I go through this journey, most likely after I wake up from surgery. This will be only the second time that I have a surgery under general anesthesia (on the first time, I broke my jaw when I was 18), so I am a little anxious.

Thanks to all of you for contributing to this forum, it truly is a gold mine.

Cheers.

30 years old French with ED caused by priapism episodes at the age of 15. Implanted with 21cm + 3cm RTEs AMS 700 CX MS pump on 05/12/2024 by Dr Sébastien Beley. Pills had lost most of their potency, injections worked but were painful and inconvenient.

Good luck, after healing and a few months go by you will have wished you did it along time ago. Don't forget to ice,ice,ice..keep your swelling down.

Welcome to the brotherhood, Hope! You are gonna be fine. Just rest over the holidays, and in no time you will be the hardest stud in France. You are gonna love your bionic dick.
50. Implanted 5/21/2024 at Kaiser SSF. AMS 700 CX 21cm, 3cm RTE. Penoscrotal. Venous leak my whole life. Pills helped, but hated the side effects; worked less as I aged. Skipped injections. Grateful to bionic brotherhood that helped me make this decision.

Good luck and don't worry, I was also operated on in a private clinic in Germany and he was not a top surgeon for implants, like Eid,Hakky or Clavell, but he was a very good at explaining everything and all the surgery and after care went well.
And I got a good result and extremely happy with the result: https://de.pornhub.org/album/78532481

Your surgeon is with 100 implants per a top expert acc. to in Europe, so don't worry.
All the best and keep us informed.
