Awesome Outcome

[Ax1968]

Hello everyone. I've been lurking in the background getting lots of great tips and reassurance from reading others' experiences.

Let me start by saying that I am VERY happy with how things have worked out.

I'm 52 and had a radical prostatectomy in February last year. Things looked up initially (pun intended) but a GP got me using Caverject to help things along. Big mistake as it quickly scarred my penis to the point where it pretty much stopped working at all, even with Caverject, and I was left with no choice but to go down the prosthesis pathway. I committed to that surgery without giving it much thought at all; I just trusted that it was the right thing to do.

Implant was done 24 January 2020, so I am now 4 weeks out. I wasn't really ready for the pain or the fact that I would have a boner for weeks. Nevertheless, after just two weeks the swelling went down enough for me to be able to feel the parts of the implant and to get them working. I deflated it fully to go to work and I make sure it is fully inflated at least morning, lunch and evening. I sleep with it inflated to about 70%.

I checked with the surgeon and he said I could start using it with my wife at the end of week 4. Friday we had sex for the first time and it was fantastic, so good that I couldn't help myself and came first, but, I was able to stay hard as a rock and keep going until my wife climaxed. To me it felt no different at all, except that I had no anxiety at all about keeping it hard and that was awesome. My wife said it was noticeably and unusually hard, so when we tried it Saturday and again Sunday, I only pumped it to about 75%. She gave me a blowjob and then we had sex and she said it felt no different to how it used to be before my prostatectomy.

When its flaccid and semi erect it curves a fair bit to the right, obviously some scar tissue where I put most of the injections but that disappears almost entirely when its pumped hard. I think in a year or so I might go for a slightly bigger implant and get that scar tissue cut out.

**any other suggestions for getting rid of the scar tissue?

Otherwise, I am a very happy that I went down the path that I did.

So happy for you my friend! I had an Implant Jan 9’2020. My activation date is Tuesday Feb 25 and I cannot wait to use this new toy. We are bolting the doors shut on Wednesday Feb 26th and going for a good long test drive. It’s been six weeks and we both are more than ready for a test drive. Can’t wait!

It is so good to have a confidence and a bionic DICK.
We all understand the good feeling.

You can try to remodel or bend against the curve. Be careful but it is done by the doctor in PD situations during surgery. I have done this to two separate curves, one dorsal curve (G-spot bend) and another left-hand veer that possibly occurred because I dress-left now that I have a full-time/full length penis. I pump up to 70-80% and then bend against the curve. Hold the tension against the bend for as long as you feel is needed. I usually do it for 5-10 minutes if I can. Then pump to max, examine for further curve and deflate. After a week of working on my dorsal curve, it was totally gone. The left veering curve was gone in less time than that.

Note, you cannot get rid of the scar tissue. You can only stretch the tissues surrounding the scar and hopefully straighten things out a bit. It's also possible to "BREAK" a plaque in some cases but that's usually when the surgeon is modeling while you are unconscious and can't feel anything. I would imagine it would take a lot more effort to break a plaque than you can apply yourself, due to pain response reflex.

Congrats Ax, sounds like you got an A+ on the implant. Mine was done Jan 13. I. Loving mine also.

Ah. I have been trying that bending technique in the shower and with a heat pack but maybe not doing it often enough. I had read about the scar tissue breaking and hoping to bring that about myself but I can see what you say, it is probably not achievable. I will persist with the bending though.

Thanks. I was champing at the bit after 3 weeks but of course not "ready" and my wife was like "don't touch me until the doctor says its OK". Four was enough for me so I emailed the surgeon and got the go ahead

Great to hear.
Would you mind sharing who was your Doctor and which device you have?
