Update - Saw Implant surgeon in my state

I saw an implant surgeon in my state, he also does the Tunica Expansion Procedure. He advised that, it may take another 1-2 months to heal completely. Said everything is normal and I just need to wait it out. He also advised to keep the penis pointing up.

Unfortunately, he couldn't continue to see me as a patient, and advised that I need to go back to my surgeon interstate for any other issues.

He also advised that I hadn't deflated fully. This was a bit of a shock as I had deflated as much as I could prior to going there. He advised that auto-inflation was rare. But, it seems that I am getting some auto-inflation, especially when waking up. I asked him if I should deflate the device a few times a day, he agreed.

In regards to the pain after leaking pre-seminal fluid, he said it would be unrelated to the implant. But, this only started happening after I got the implant. I have leaked pre-seminal fluid before when doing nofap and was not in any bad pain.

In regards to the pain after orgasm, he said that it should improve over the next few months.

I think I will just have to wait it out. The pain is improving a bit, but it is very difficult tucking the penis up and walking around. I wouldn't be able to gym or go for long drives or even back to work at this point.

Man, one major takeaway for me so far in following your journal is that the recovery time of TEP is LONG compared to regular implant surgery. Definitely will be an important consideration for anyone who works and wants to get this done. Thank you for keeping up with the updates!!

Quick Update

Deflation

After seeing the urologist yesterday, I started deflating 2-3 times a day. I squeeze very hard when deflating. I finally started to deflate properly. For anyone interested, see the pic attached. This is what a deflated titan should look like, basically, a crinkled up water bottle (that's what it feels like too).

I was probably only deflating 90/85%% before, then getting auto-inflated about 20%.

The flaccid angle is a bit lower now too and it doesn't point out as much. Makes it a bit easier to walk around.

Ups n Downs

Last few days I had some ups n downs. I cycled a few days ago and my erection was completely slanted. No idea what happened. Next day, it was less slanted but completely flat. Next day it was slanted but also the erection angle was lower than 3 o clock. It was troubling me a lot. It seemed like I lost some girth too. I purposefully chose not to journal about it, as I did not want to obsess over it.

Today I cycled, my erection angle is above 3 o clock, there isn't much of a slant. Girth is back.

The only thing I can put it down to is, I was taking pain killers before cycling for the last few days, they must've affected my engorgement, which affected my erection angle and girth.

Doing your procedure interstate

I once again would like to re-iterate for anyone out there in Australia. When I saw a urologist from my state yesterday, he made it clear to me that this would be our last appointment. Despite the fact that he was a high volume implant surgeon, who also specializes in TEP. He told me I need to go back to my surgeon interstate and he would not take me under his care.

I understand it's best to stay with the surgeon who did the surgery, as he knows the procedure best.

This isn't something I thought of when choosing a surgeon interstate. And, this can make things difficult when having issues, or fear of infection, knowing if you have deflated correctly etc. Especially since, the surgeons here do not give out personal numbers to contact them on like in the U.S.A.

Something to consider when choosing your surgeon.

I was told that squeezing the penis at the base while pressing the deflate button works well. I am doing that now and able to deflate properly. I can feel very hard crinkles near the base.

Quick update

I slept and woke up, looks like I didn't get any auto-inflation. My penis looked the same in the morning.

Pointing it up is also more comfortable now that it is fully deflated. Might actually start going out for walks/gym etc soon.

Some good news

Give it 1-2 pumps after you fully deflate and it will change the valve back to inflate mode.

You won’t get any auto inflation with the titan touch when you do this.

I usually give it 1 pump after deflating. Use to get auto-inflation still, seems to have improved a bit.

Hey aussiepeyronies can I ask what state you are in and who the high volume surgeon you saw is?
Im in NSW and couldnt find any high volume surgeons here.
