Hi, looks great !!
What were your measurements before and what are now ?

I'm four days out of surgery, ask me in three months.

It looks like a normal straight working dick. Great job for your Peyronie.

Thanks man. Here for you if you ever need someone to talk to. All the best.

I feel some discomfort around the reservoir in my abdomen/pelvic area especially when I sneeze. Yesterday I tried stifling my sneeze and it gave me even more reservoir discomfort. I read online stifling your sneeze causes the internal pressure to increase by 5-20x. Do you guys think I caused any damage to my implant or reservoir by stifling my sneeze? Or am I just being paranoid?

You're being understandably paranoid, but the good news is that it's very unlikely you're going to do any damage to yourself or your hardware if you're following your doctor's instructions. This stuff is built and placed with the intention of letting you live a normal, active life, so some brief, accidental rough handling isn't going to ruin things.

Your brain is going to want to overanalyze every ache. Try to re-focus it on your recovery and the things you have control over: eating, drinking fluids, sleeping.

Thanks SearchingUSA, I'll try not to be so paranoid

Since you're Aussi, why not use someone locally (AKA: In country) and not deal with the long plane flights, hotel costs, etc? I've heard only excellent things about healthcare / doctors there, a few of them recommended on this board.

Look at my before & after photos. There is no high volume implant surgeon in Australia who could achieve that for me. Dr Clavell is a high volume implant surgeon and also a Peyronie's specialist. He does penile reconstructions weekly.

Day 5, 6 & 7 Update

Not much has changed. Just recovering in my hotel room watching shows & movies.

My penis is slowly healing and looks better by the day. I've spoken to the doc through text and I explained to him that my flight home is 18 hours and I won't be leaving Houston till I can deflate. He said its fine to deflate at 3 weeks if my pain is controlled, swelling is minimal and I'm able to cycle.

So I'm at a crossroads, not sure if I should I deflate at 3 weeks or wait the full recommended 4 weeks? Pros vs cons?

Is it possible to drive? Renting a motor home and enlisting the aid of a trusted friend/family member to drive you while you lay down in the bed is an alternative.

You could fly with some preparation. Ask the airline(s) for wheelchair assistance. Bandage up really well so the bulge is not lewd. Lay down when you can. Redeye flights might be less crowded and let you stretch out across adjacent seats if you are lucky and the flight attendants are bound to be helpful.

Or, just enjoy the hotel, shows and movies.

Day 7 - 11 Update

Hey guys,

I have been making progress with my recovery and a lot of my pain has reduced. My swelling and bruising is pretty much gone. I've spoken to my doctor recently, he agrees that I've been healing well and I may begin cycling in one week. However, I expressed to him that I have some concerns with palpable tubing in my scrotum and it feels as if my pump is stuck the bottom of my scrotum. My doctor has advised me to start pulling down on the pump in the shower to combat this. Not sure what's going on? Is this normal? I am pretty lean but it feels like the pump tubing is really prominent.

I've attached some photos and circled the tubing in red... Can you please provide your thoughts?
