Life span on implants

[Lost Sheep]

all implant doctors say that today's implants last longer than those of a few years ago, no one asked why in detail?

Manufacturers improve their products as information about shortcomings are known. Coloplast has revised its pumps a number of times in search of betterment (I avoided use of the word "perfection"). AMS instituted their antiseptic coating to reduce the incidence of infection in search of betterment.

based on your knowledge if you were to implant yourself today what would you implant yourself

The longevity - service life question would not factor into it (with the knowledge I have now). It I researched and found a substantial difference between AMS and Coloplast devices, that stand may change.

The differences between the pump operation, antibiotic/antiseptic coatings, connectors and such also have little bearing on my choice, either.

The first surgeon I went to said I was a good candidate for the AMS LGX. When I went back to him again, he changed his suggestion to Coloplast Titan (my stretched size was 6", which also matched my erection size). He never explained why he changed his mind.

I have been very satisfied with my LGX but might have preferred the Coloplast Titan, despite the wrinkles when flaccid. Partly because I don't think the wrinkles would be much of a factor since I habitually wear my penis pointed up rather than hanging down. I am informed that more girth is more satisfying to most women.

Short answer to your question, though, is that it is still a toss-up (as it was with my first implant) and I would depend a great deal on the expertise of my surgeon to help guide me in our decision.

as you know I'm Italian, I don't know English and going abroad to do the system is a problem for me, so informing me on the web the best in Italy seems to be gabriele antonini, he's doing an escaletion of advertising on his youtube channel, then I saw his videos at least 2/3 times, in his videos he says that a good surgeon chooses the implant based on the patient's anatomy, and advertises ams at full blast, in September I went to him to do the implant and tells me without visiting me that I will implant a titan coloplast, this has left me perplexed, what could I tell her? sorry doctor ... but you say in your videos that the implant is decided after seeing the patient's anatomy?

I very much agree with everything lost sheep has said.

Coloplast and Titan are both great implants. What is far more important than the implant manufacturer, is the ability of your surgeon to get the device installed perfectly. In other words, your satisfaction as a customer will depend 90% on how good of a job your surgeon does and 10% on the characteristics of the manufacturer

So, you likely should just listen to your surgeon regarding which device to get.

PS: that being said, I specifically went for titan since it has bigger girth (and that would be a typical man's response to desire anything that would have a size advantage)

All my surgeons sucked (IMHO)!
But for reference, I downloaded this some time ago and wanted to post it for anyone wondering about malleables....
For me, I had the Genesis. IMHO again, go for the Rigicon that bends 135 degrees and lasts a lifetime!

Am I wrong to assume that with the non inflatables you’ll lose significant girth?

[Smetro]

Is there a list somewhere with all our names on it?

I’m up to 6 years
Still bangin away

There are a lot of variables.

What girth before implant?
Does the surgeon use the "tissue sparing" techinque
How much spongiosum tissue do you have outside the tunica?

For sure, you will gain no girth when inflating, because there is no inflating a malleable, but sexual excitement usually engorges your spongiosum. Sometimes the cavernosum tissues get involved, too if the tissue-sparing technique was used, but this is not something to count on.

But you will probably have a bit less girth than you had with a good erection. But remember, you don't have those any more.

An inflated inflatable is almost certain to give you more girth than any malleable that you might be fitted with.

I heard a malleable could be used to preserve size between 2 IPP installations. That probably means you will lose some girth right :/
