I've had my implant since May 2014, and have had relatively few problems. In recent weeks, however, I've been having trouble fully deflating it. Pressing the button and squeezing my penis is only getting it down about three-fourths, leaving me with a semi erection.
I've tried pumping it back up and trying again, but it seems the button just cuts off before all the fluid has drained.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

I've had my Titan since since 2008. It has always auto-inflated a little bit, and my evening shower ritual includes trying to deflate it as much as possible. I can get it pretty soft, but never fully deflated, and it always re-inflates just a bit, just enough to be annoying. I'm used to it by now, but I would be happy if it would just stay soft. If I were actually using the implant I could just chalk up the semi-stiffness as the cost of doing business, but since I've never used it it's basically nothing but a nuisance.

Although I can get quite flaccid, I usually dont even try for full deflation any more. There's a point at, say 25 or 30 percent (just guessing, really....could be 15 or 20 %) where it is soft enough to manipulate but firm enough to stay (mostly) tucked up and to the right in my briefs.

I believe some "re-inflation" is due to the "other end" of the implant that is inside you still contains some fluid and that fluid simply "equalizes" throughout your entire dick.

The "major" reason i had my first implant replaced was that one of the release valve buttons had become "unreachable" due to migration of the pump. I stayed at 70% (a guess again) inflated for the 3 months or so that it took to get my revision......damn you Dr. XXXX and thank you Dr. Perito....

Good luck man!

Like dg and catman, I'm always deflated enough to tuck it away without much discomfort. It is nice when I can fully deflate it, but that's become rare. My regular urologist told me it was very important to get it fully deflated every time out, but my implant surgeon (Milam) said if it was down about 75 %, that would be OK.
In any event, glad to see I have some fellow travelers in this area.

Firstcave46,

Did you ever get the burning issue resolved? Looking over some old posts I noticed you had an issue with with your penis burning which you said made sex difficult. I hope that's no longer an issue for you.

Yes, happy to report the burning resolved on its own. Urologists could never explain it, but I'm just overjoyed that things are back to normal.
Thanks for asking.
