Hey Guys, after10 years my implant failed last year in April 2024.
I'm just now going in to have a revision April 8 2025. I think I've lost some length since that time. Do you think I will regain my normal length ?
I had the 21 cm LGX implanted at that time, Dr. Loh Doyle and Dr. Boyd did the orginal implant and Dr. Loh Doyle at USC Keck is doing the revision on April 8.
Going foward l will keep the implant family informed.

What is your doctors opinion on that? Good luck to you!

Everything i've heard about revisions is that you will have more growth afterwards. My Doc told me that as well. I'm only 2 years in and I do think about when it's my time for a revision. I'm kinda looking forward to it. Yes I'm crazy and having much fun with mine.

April 2, 2025. I just had my revision. My orginal implant was done in 2015 at Usc Keck with Dr. BOYD and Dr LOH DOYLE.
Dr. LOH DOYLE only had to replace my pump because it had disconnected from my cylinders.
After my surgery I had no pain this is April 3 and I'm still not in any pain. He used the penoscrotal approach to replace my pump. Connection.

Hi superbo, great news, so you didn't replace the whole system, just the pump?

Dr. Loh Doyle told me he didn't want to replace everything because it all worked perfectly. Also 10 years ago when he first implanted me I got a bad infection. He had to go back in and flush everything out and I was on antibiotics for a long time

That's great to hear you had it 10 yrs, it is surprising that he didn't replace it all as you are already open and introducing things in your body anyway, but I am not a doctor or even close, hope it works for another 10, and I have to say I really like the LGX as well. Good luck
