Some say that the penis is 'drooping' because of RTEs. I just wonder whether this 100% correct. In my opinion it has mainly to do with the pelvic muscles.
Since I am one of the 'some' above, let me clarify what I really mean:
An implant, its function and cosmetical result is a complex issue affected by many, many variables. I don't mean that 100% of all bionic dicks without RTEs have less hinge, less wobbling, and better angle than 100% of all bionic dicks with RTEs.
Just as I don't mean that every Titan w/o RTE will have better pump placement than every AMS w/o RTE.
Or that all same size erect dicks with LGX will have smaller flaccids than same sized erect CX or Titans.
Not that simple.
There are many other variables. Patient''s anatomy, doc's performance, residual blood flow, time elapsed since implanted, etc, etc.
What I do mean is that all else equal, after some time, the longer the RTEs, the more the implant will wobble or hinge than it would have w/o. Result can still be great though.
It is just one factor among others, some with major impact, and some with minor impact, deciding the end result.
Which means that most importantly is to get a doc who gets it right. Right sizing, no messed up tubing, no infection etc.
Angle by the way is for sure heavily affected by your own anatomy as well. Can be a huge difference between two individuals. To say something about RTEs impact on the angle, one cannot take two random guys, one with and one without RTEs, and draw conclusions about everyone. But all things equal, the same guy would probably have had a better angle 5 years after implant w/o RTEs than he would with RTEs.
And to answer your question:
I have no RTEs, I am 11 months out, and my angle is the same 2:00-2:30 as it was pre-implant.
