Implant …….. yes or no

[Adonisdaddy58]

Hi Gentlemen…..

I passed the one year anniversary where I injured my penis during a 4 hour erection from trimix. The result was typical. Scaring, shrinkage, hourglass bubble, curvature at 90 degrees. I went to Paul Perito, and he gave me a regiment of cialis, using a pump as much possible, emphasizing it’s possible that I could get some of my original penis back in time, but most likely it will not return 100%. Upon his earliest consultations, he did not yet say it was time for a penile pump. I am lucky as I can still get an erection but when I look down, it’s as if it’s not my penis.

One year later we are here ……. https://x.com/djalexangel/status/201797 ... 60132?s=46


I’d say I am luckier than many. The curve has gone down to about 45°. The bubble is greatly reduced. However, Dr Perito says as of this last appointment I am now a candidate for an implant. The question is……. Yes or no. There has definitely been an improvement over the past year and there may continue to be an improvement….or not.


At 67 years old, is it worth it?

Since this all began with Trimix, I'd guess you need pills or shots to get erections.
If so, I'd go for the implant.

Only you can know whether it is worth it.
My recommendation would be to disregard the posts who say they fuck for 5 hours and it's better than a real penis and the posts who had a really bad outcome. More likely, you will be somewhere in the middle. A GED if you will, Good Enough Dick. It will not feel like a normal, healthy penis unless you have great engorgement and can maintain the blood flow. Most of us have venous leaks so while we get engorgement it comes and goes during intercourse. Is it worth it? For me, it was the best of the alternatives. Remember, it doesn't fix the root cause of your ED, it just makes it to you can have intercourse.

Hope this helps.

Adonisdaddy58, I'd encourage you to consider the reflections in the "ten years" thread below.

For me, my original equipment was great up until my 50's. Then not so much. And I went thru the usual treatments which worked "ok", until they didn't.

From that perspective, and this is no BS, my implant works better for my wife and I than my great original equipment ever could do.
- an on-demand erection whether tired, been drinking a little too much -- whatever
- getting hard, and staying hard, takes no effort from her
- stays rock hard regardless of position, changing positions, moving around, delays -- anything
- stays hard, and keeps going and going and going, even after I orgasm, until she has as many orgasms as possible
- and if she wants 'round 2' just after 'round 1', I'm always ready to go

And that has taken the physical relationship with my wife way beyond anything we previously thought possible. I'm a big fan.
My wife is a huge fan

Yeah, it doesn't feel exactly like it used to. But who cares -- it is a 'new normal' now -- and it feels great. And the new capabilities have been well worth any tradeoff.

Your 67 at the cusp things are not going to improve with age .. medicare pays at 65 ..I wish my dr. would have let me know that I would have done it at 65 instead of waiting till I was 69 lost 4 good possible years of having a decent sex life .. I have a Rigicon btw ..

Yes or no really depends on your personal relationship status. If you're a married man, and your wife still desires sex, that is a big yes. If you want to get past that injury from years ago and Dr. Perito says you are a good candidate for an implant then that is another yes. If you're a single guy who only has occasional sex, I'd say no.
I was 68 when I had mine done. Some guys have been older. Your general health is important to consider as well.
Best of luck on the decision.

So your injury was caused by injections. Injections are considered last resort before implant. Now back to pills and trying to heal from the injury.

I was hospitalised with a suspected heart attack that, while not officially diagnosed as such, was almost certainly just severe side effects of Viagra.

Went back to Cialis after that, but it wasn't as effective for me, even at doses above legally approved levels in Australia, and on the occasions I tried Viagra again the side effects were horrible. Severe gastric reflux, at least I now knew it wasn't a heart attack.

IMHO the dangers of chemically induced erections are greatly underestimated.

I'm done with pills and their side effects. Never even considered sticking a needle in my dick as an option.

So 2 weeks ago I went under the knife and got the implant. It's early days, still healing, but zero regrets about being drug free at last.

And age? I'm also 67. Got the impression that's the peak age for implant. There is a reluctance to do it for younger men, but still young enough for easy recovery in a healthy man.

Yes or no? Only you can answer that for yourself, but for me it was a big yes.

You need to consider the perspective of the doctors who answer these questions professionally/medically. If a man asks Dr. Perito if this major surgery will get all his original dick size back, it's not exactly in his best interest to say, "YUP, HIRE ME AND I'LL IMPLANT YOUR DICK AND I PROMISE I'LL FIX IT."

Because for one, on the chances it doesn't, the patient (maybe because of his own mistakes) ends up very angry. And probably related, there's that thing called malpractice, especially when urologists promise men's dicks will grow just how big they want (lol, it won't).

I told Dr. Hakky I wanted +.25" in girth in auxetic cuts to regain what I lost from AMS 700 LGX. He said something like .3" to .5" is common. Right now I honestly sincerely have a 1" girth growth to enjoy.

You know why? Dr. Hakky told me this at a pre-surgery appointment:

"I tend to under-promise and over-deliver."

Which I believe is true for most all qualified doctors in all the fields.
