Floppy glans immediately after implant? Also called hypermobile glans

Thank you! What model implant do you have? And do you feel that after some time of cycling the cylinder tips went a bit further into the glans?



I think this forum gave us wrong idea that Turkish and India surgeon can do PENILE but the reality it is coloured people don’t do as well as American implanters.

Just to clarify you are in India?

People will think you are being racist.

American implanters generally have more resources, but I'm sure high volume implanters in Turkey and India are probably better than low volume implanters here.

Also they may be more adept with malleables than American implanters

I completely agree with this. A high-volume malleable implanter can be a low-volume inflatable implanter, and a high-volume inflatable implanter can be a low-volume malleable implanter. I think the key is to choose a high volume surgeon specific to our desired type of implant.

Surgery is an art, and art has no boundaries. Practice makes perfect.

Oh boy! When that happens, they lump us into the 1% club. I’ve yet to hear of a botched malleable surgery from the high volume centers in India. Maybe they’re just not writing about it in FT! :D

My doctor advised it was very important to inflate to the max to get the tips back up into the glans. My LGX expands like your AX. Just follow your cycling protocol when you are cleared to cycle and make sure you inflate to the max. You might also try gently pulling your glans down on the ends of the cylinders. My cylinder tips are now well up in my glans,


Newbie443, did your implant reach your glans immediately when you started cycling? As in day 1? Or it took a few months?

Don't be racist towards your own people man :)

I can tell you i had surgeries (not only about penis), in USA and Abroad. Many times USA has a lot of marketing and often you can get the same and even better results for a fraction of the price in other countries. Like everything in life, at the end of the day it is not about the country but more about finding the right doctor who has the right experience for your needs. I try to not judge doctors because of their country but because of their specific experience/clinic/etc.

Definetely it sounds like indian doctors are more experienced with malleable so if i want an ipp i would probably look for another country.

I agree. Dr. Gupta, an Indian prosthetic urologist, performed over 600 malleables in 2023. This is in a country with 1.4 billion people, and he is reported in reviews to be understaffed and rushed to meet the high demands. The term "high volume" carries a whole new meaning in that country :D . In comparison, the leading malleable implanter in the US, performs around 50 malleables annually and other famous high volume US surgeons often mentioned in this forum do about 10 malleables a year. For IPP, the USA is the best and for malleables, India seems to be the best. I have yet to come across malleable users who have raised complaints beyond a year post-surgery. As for the initial concerns, I tend not to place too much weight on them. It takes time to heal and mentally adjust, doesn't it?

My dr. was dr. carrion at USF in Tampa fl .. he said he was the highest volume implanter in the country of the mallabbles and he was right at 50 implants a year when I last saw him 6-2024 .. he is a big pusher of the mallables but he does both types his father helped invent the IPP back in the 70's . .. Unfortunately there is much misinformation on the mallabbles out there as far as size loss .... erosion .. etc .. This site has been a big help to many and I hope it continues to be a place where honest information is shared.

Your surgeon's father paved the way for the development of today's malleables.

https://www.urologichistory.museum/the- ... ted-states

History of Penile Prosthetics in the United States

"....In 1975 Michael Small and Hernan Carrion in Minneapolis, Minnesota, laid the foundation for malleable implants of the modern era by creating the Small-Carrion semirigid device, which consisted of two sponge-filled semirigid silicone-covered rods for the corporeal bodies. Small and Carrion utilized the perineal approach for implantation to avoid previously seen complications with the dorsal approach. With this implant, the penis remained in a semi-rigid state and could be bent upwards when engaging in sexual activity....."
