How are you doing? I am thinking of going down your route and doing the surgery with Dr. Karaman in Turkey.

You’ve been implanted almost 6 months. Are you fully healed?

Please let me know if we can chat a bit on DM regarding your surgery in Turkey since I will also do the surgery with the same doctor

Regards


hi, Dr. Karaman during the surgery inflates the prosthesis to about 50%, and leaves it swollen for 40 days (I admit it is not comfortable, but I notice that unlike many others I read on the forum, using this technique my penis it healed already ready to pedal, and when on day 41 I started pedaling, it didn't hurt at all, instead for many on this forum I read that the first few times they pedal they feel a lot of pain, I don't at all)
At the level of the penis I healed at most in a couple of months, the only place where I felt a little pain was the testicles due to the pump, but this is because I've always had them very sensitive, even before the operation I didn't do them touching a lot from the girls, and in any case even that after another month was fine.

Yes I contacted him last week. And spoke to him over WhatsApp

Hi @daridima, i am new in this forum, i am considering doing an infla 10 AX implant in Turkey with Dr. İhsan Karaman.
But there is not much information about this particular implant online, very rare to find any patients talking about it.

I want to ask you how are you feeling now? is it all working perfectly? how satisfied are you? how is the sex so far? would you mind if i contact you by pm? any info is super appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, yes if you want to contact me in private. You can find very little on this site because Rigicon, even if it is American like the others, has just recently launched its products in America (from what I read on the net) and furthermore another doctor that I contacted in Turkey, Kadioglu, asked me for 7000 euros with Titan (only operation, no hotel, interpreter or drivers) 7500 euros with AMS 700 LGX and 7700 euros with Rigicon infla 10 AX because it is guaranteed for life. So unfortunately Titan is the one they have been marketing the longest and costs the least, so the doctors have better agreements with the company and use that one. And this site being full of Americans etc, you are less likely to meet patients with Rigicon. But I don't really care what the others do, I've done my own research, rigicon is 4 layers instead of 3 like the competitors, it's guaranteed for life instead of 5 years like the competitors, so I don't care if the others put titan, I prefer a product guaranteed for life to one guaranteed for 5 years, even if it costs slightly more. Otherwise I'm fine now, everything works perfectly and I'm satisfied. If you want to contact me in private, no problem.

Thank you! Quick question, if Kadioglu was cheaper, why did you decide to go with Dr. Ihsan Karaman? Or did i understand you incorrectly?

I am also trying to look into doctors who do the infrapubic incision, because i read online it heals faster (2 weeks vs 6 weeks in some cases), but still not sure what's the best option. Any insights of why you chose that specific doctor are welcome

it was cheaper but there was a hotel, interpreter and driver to add. And the hospital where he operated wasn't bad, but it wasn't as beautiful and big as the one where Karaman operates. In addition, precisely because it operates in a very large structure, and in fact you patient do not speak with Karaman but with a manager of the structure, also for the future, one day when Karaman retires, you are calm that he will provide that hospital for you, to the guarantee of the prosthesis etc. Furthermore, if you simply look for Prof. dr Isah Karaman on youtube, you will find that there are dozens and dozens of videos in which he is interviewed by news and health programs, furthermore Karaman uses Rigicon which is guaranteed for life, and I am 43 years old, in my opinion it's stupid to take a prosthesis guaranteed for only 5 years and in a few years pay all over again! Regarding the infrapubic Karaman is able to do it, you can find many photos of him with Perito on the net (the Miami doctor who practically invented this technique) but regarding the healing, bah I believe it, you hardly go through everything in two weeks, first because I know people operated on by Antonini in Italy with that technique, and they always healed after a month and a half, depending on why excuse me, but let's think, whether you go through the scrotum or the pubis, you still don't have to remove the corpora cavernosa from the penis and install the pump in the scrotum, and the reservoir in the abdomen? and therefore since these listed parts will heal, what changes for the times from which you passed? I find it just marketing and only an advantage for the times of doctors who, going through the pubis, take less and do more (Expert boasts of doing 700 operations a year, but I want an operation done slowly, not a fast factory ) and going through the pubis, if the doctor touches the nerves by mistake and he will find exactly where it enters, you will never have sensitivity to the penis again, and furthermore I don't know about you, but I don't have a partner at the moment, and therefore I will always hide from have the prosthesis, whereby a scar on the testicles disappears between the wrinkles of the testicles, while one on the pubis always remains in sight. Frankly, I find infra pubic only marketing for the benefit of surgeons.

Thank you Daridima!

I have a lot of questions specifically for you, since you are the only person i see in this forum who got this brand of implant and with this doctor. Also you are similar age to me. So actually your answers could influence my decision.

If you don't mind i will ask them in the public thread for now (but if you prefer to answer something i private i don't mind also).

I will actually enumerate them because they are a lot of questions:

1- I spoke with Karaman's assistant. He told me Dr Karaman does not speak english. This is a little bit worrying for me. Do you not feel it is necessary to communicate with the doctor directly? Do you feel all your questions were answered genuinely?

2- Did you have further consultations with the doctor after the surgery? or you just got in there and went out the day of the surgery and never came back again?

3- If you had to do this process again, would you choose the same doctor? or would you do anything differently in general?

4- How satisfied are you with your sex life after the implant, from 0 to 100%?

5- Regarding the "life warranty", i asked the assistant on whatsapp. His answer did not convince me. He told me only the device is covered, but not the surgery. So then i asked, how much does a new surgery cost? He was not able to give me a direct answer. But imagine, if you spent for example 9000 euros, but the device costs only 1000 euros, and the rest is hospital, doctor, hotels, driver, etc. In reality the warranty does not make a big difference (this is my imagination, because he did not give me a direct answer). I asked what is the real cost of a surgery if there is a warranty case and his answer was "i don't know because we never had such case". But it is obvious because the device is too new and does not have a long track record. But for me this answer is a red flag actually regarding the warranty. I will probably investigate more before making a decision about it.

6- If you are with a new partner now, let's say a casual woman that you just met, would she realize you have an implant?

7- Are your erections very hard, or soft-ish? I see from the other models people usually say titan is harder than AMS. And they do not recommend boston scientific implant that extends in length if you have a big penis, because it is too "soft" and then the erection will be not hard enough. But i have no idea about the infla 10 AX if it's a very hard erection or not

Thanks for your info! and hope to keep in touch!

Daridima, did you lose any size from the implant? And were you a grower or a shower before?
Venous like since I was 20 years old. Pills don't work too well. Thinking of implant in the future

Hello daridima, I tried to reply by DM but it won't let me, could you give me an email so you can help me? I'm in the same situation as discovernew... if you don't mind I'll ask my questions in this post...
My doubts would be:

- Have you noticed a difference in size before and after surgery? How much?

- How difficult is it to inflate the implant?

- Does it bother you on a daily basis? For example, sitting for a long time, riding a motorcycle, running, going to the gym and lifting weights?

- How would you rate the first 3 times you used the implant? And do you think the other person enjoyed it?

- How much did the implant cost you in Turkey? Would you recommend it? I am currently in Spain and it costs me 16k euros, money that I do not have, so I would think about doing it there.

- If you had surgery in Turkey as you do with checkups, how was the postoperative period with your doctor?

- Could you tell me a website where I contact the clinic or doctor?

- Have you had complications with the implant since it all started?

Thanks for everything my friend, greetings.. oh im from spain, barcelona jeje
