Has anybody used this procedure and if so, can you describe the procedure and results a bit. Also how much does it cost?

I used my implant for the first time this weekend and, though the head is not floppy, it certainly wasn't enlarged and there were a few times where there was some pain from the pushing or a slight bend.

I know that it will all get more natural in time but, even though those days are gone, my engorged head was fucking magnificent! If I could get a fraction of that back I'd love to know about it.

I understand your point. However, do you know that this is not a permanent solution? It has to be repeated as needed because it will get dissipated/reabsorbed.

One thing, glans engorgement will progressively get better as you get used to the implant, with appropriate sexual stimulation.

Oh yeah, it says on there that it lasts about a year, which I'll assume means less than a year. Even if I had all the time and money in the world it's not something I would do anytime soon, but I would indeed be happy to hear from people who use it.

I had the Radiesse Gel injected in my vocal cords after vocal cord paralysis. They told me it would last 9-18 months. The product label says 12-24. My body would absorb it in 2 weeks and I would be back to choking on food and not able to talk. 4 times we did this and I said no more when the hospital called for presurgery testing for the fifth. It might last, it might not. Still a $1,000 a pop/year in the dick case.

Yes, agreed. The further along I go and the more sex I have the less of an issue this seems to be.

hey man, so the head does not engorge like it used to but otherwise, all is good in terms of your length I'm assuming. That is something that I will miss too when I get mine I suppose, but I guess now being able to have sex with no problems is amazing. I'll be getting mine with Dr. Eid, in the process of saving money for it, I'll email Dr. Eid's office and ask about the bulking rejuvenation though and let you know what they say.

I am super happy with the length. First world bionic dick problems. Thanks for the email, though, I'm looking forward to the info.

Here is what I was told wen I asked about the glans bulking injection:

1) it lasts roughly a year
2) it costs something more than 700 dollars
3) it is used for "old men" who have a shriveled up wrinkled glans. Eid said that I do not need it
4) I have been told that it "looks really nice" to have a big knob of a head sitting on the implant


Now, remember, glans erection is different from cavernosum erection. Some guys with ED have no trouble with glans erection (before operation) and some have terrible glans erection (before operation). In general, your glans erection likely will not change (better or worse). That being said, some franktalk guys report "better glans hardness" after implant. Many report no change in glans function. (just for completeness, you should know that there is a rare complication of "cold glans syndrome" which might be associated more with infrapubic incisions.)

You should be aware that the glans is part of the "spongiosum" which is a different blood supply from the cavernosum (the cavernosum is where the cylinders are placed)...thus, an operation on the cavernosum (i.e., penile implant) should, in theory, leave the spongiosum intact.

For me, there was no decrease in glans, but no increase either as far as i can tell to date.

Those who really want to work on the glans hardness, the options are:
1) trimix gel -- might help
2) cock ring (definitely will help--based on my personal experience)
3) viagra --- might help

For me, personally, my erection is "good enough" and the glans for me does swell up pretty darn good just before orgasm. So, I , personally, would prefer to travel light and not go for any of the above three possible glans performance boosters--one of the points of the implant is that it gives you spntaneity , so best to get off the rings and gels and drugs.


Figure 1: the spongiosum is seen with a purple color in this diagram. It is the glans (head of penis) and the undersurface of the penis


Figure 2 (above) The cylinders are placed in the cavernosum, they , in theory, should have little impact on the spongiosum (i.e., little impact on the glans or the undersurface)


Figure 3 (above) The cavernosum and the spongiosum have different blood supply and are quite different from the perspective of anatomy and function. As mentioned previously, cylinders are placed in the cavernosum.

I am impressed that you have been doing your homework......really informative info..... thanks

I may do this......when I get back to NYC in the fall I'll schedule an appt. with Dr. Eid and see if this is a good thing to do.....or not......and if it is a good thing, I wouldn't mind a once a year touch up.......after all, we have 1 dick, 1 life......may as well maximize both.......
