Is this normal? (Pic)
Hi all, went bionic a week ago today. The one thing that I am wondering is that my penis is currently at a 45 degree angle straight to the right. I have no clue how inflated I am and dont have a follow up for 3 weeks. Is this normal? I was bandaged this way if it matters. Just looking for input and to put my mind at ease so I dont freak out. First time posting

I am not a doctor obviously but nothing I see would concern me.
Through regular cycling, your D will likely fall where it always had previously. It's not going to stay pointing at that angle, certainly not after working with it like you are going to be in a few weeks. The bruising looks typical... you don't mention pain or anything so I say chill.

ok..shew. Yeah just slight pain a week in. A little shocked at size loss but was expected because of reading all posts on here. No doubt I will start cycling as soon as possible. Did not have top surgeon like Perito or Clavell but still higher volume for Columbus Ohio. Dr. Taylor. Excellent in my book. Appreciate the feedback

You are normal. I was and am very much more swollen than you are at 3 weeks.
That said, pain has subsided and things are coming together.
I have a Titan and I am also 45° to the left. Dr Hakky told me today to start regular cycling and also to do the compass or heliocopter stretch daily and that should lighten with time

I would say that's in the spectrum of normal course 1 week out - maybe a little more bruising than what I had with both of my surgeries.
One thing I was told was to try to keep the penis pointed straight up and flat against my body for the first 2 weeks when partially inflated. That can help prevent it from leaning one way or another once everything is healed and you start cycling.
once cleared to cycle - make sure you do it consistently. Can't stress this enough.

Radical Prostatectomy in 2015; failed pills, straight to Coloplast Titan in 2019 by Dr. Valenzuela in NYC, Replaced with AMS 700 CX in 2022 by Dr. Darshan Patel in San Diego, CA. Wish I jumped to an implant even before prostate cancer!

Don't worry, it won't stay that way. I was left inflated until 5 1/2 weeks, pointing to the left and down. I can point it any direction now. Inflated it sticks out at 3 o'clock.

All good. I was implanted about 8 weeks back and they just left the head poking out of the mummy wrap for the first 3 days. That whole time, I was really worried because I was pointed a full 45 to the right as well and was worried I would be permanently deformed. As soon as I got the wrap off and started healing up, everything went back to normal, both deflated and pumped. I do still have a slight curved right when inflated, but it does not hinder anything at all and have been told to use the Perito bends when cyclying to try ro straighten a bit. It does not matter much to me if it goes away honestly since as I said, it does not affect one aspect of sex, etc at all. It is about 5 degrees more pointed right than pre-implant when it was perfectly centered.

I'm 8 days post op, my doc told me to keep it pointed towards my belly button against my body. I think it helps with how the implant heals in the crus so your erection with be more upward pointing.

Can you talk more about your loss with the size? Dr. Clavell and other said that the size will be the same as it was prior to the surgery. Perhaps you are only 50% inflated...once you will start to inflate to 100% you should have the same size as before op.

What is the compass or heliocopter stretch?
