Malleable Implanted (Tactra 27X13)

[fucked0ne]

Another thing is this bullshit of size … 0.5 inch difference with a malleable… is it worth it when you get an inflatable..

A half inch is not much if you start off big, but for an average guy it is a huge difference in reach, stroke length, etc.

This is an excellent point.

if you notice, today there is not a single implantologist who recommends the malleable, this is not because the inflatable is better, on the contrary, the duty of a doctor would be to tell the pros and cons, the cons of the inflatable are infinite, in exchange for very few pros , including a more comfortable and less visible flaccid one, some other pros that could be annihilated by the only con that it could break even after a few months, in the best case scenario it lasts you on average 5 years and not 10 as they want to pretend, there there is a lot of fake news in this sector, once the tube that carries the cylinders, once the tube that carries the pump, once the pump itself, once the sizing, once the positioning, once the infection, breakages at 6 months, 1/2/3/4/5 years, today they put you at risk of erosion of the malleable to take you to the terrain of the inflatable, but if you make the malleable implant well and size it perfectly you won't have erosion, now who are in it with everyone the shoes I understood what shit I got myself into, I could go on, but that's okay

Hi frank, I agree. There is one reason they don’t promote malleable : they know the patient won’t ever come back and he’ll be satisfied first time around. I faced a similar situation with tattoos, I like dark bold tattoos and the artist in England convinced me to get a realisiric one which I hate and it needs to be touched up. He knows dark skinned people ,, shouldn’t get realistic tattoos but he knows touch ups and dissatisfaction and cover up = more money,,, this is my analogy I thought of.

Great example with tattoos. I heard from a prosthetic surgeon who works closely with implant engineers that the more natural or realistic a prosthesis is designed to be, the less reliable it will be. The best is not always the best, depending on how it's viewed.

Thank you. End of the day, it’s our body and our penis, so we get the final choice and a lot of people forget that.

I also had a Tactra implanted over the summer and have no regrets. Yes, a permanent erection requires some lifestyle changes, yes, there is the real possibility of a small loss of length/girth, and yes, there is a small chance of erosion. That said, read through these forums and you will be shocked at the shear number of men who have been implanted with an IPP and are now facing a revision surgery after only a few short years, months, and yes, sadly, weeks. There are numerous accounts here of pump, tubing, connector, or cylinder leaks, component failures, and infection. Sorry, but I just don't believe the purported 10-20 year lifespan for inflatable penile prostheses. I also don't believe the less that 5% complication rate of these devices quoted by doctors. Like others have pointed out, I follow the money and am always skeptical of the "salesman" who handsomely profits with upsells. Personally, I'm always going to choose a lesser costly and plain (but highly reliable) Honda over an expensive, flashy Jaguar that will likely have an expensive breakdown and potentially leave me stranded on the roadside.

Very true! No one wants to be stranded without. Working penis. Imagine if a prosthetic in your leg could just malfunction and you’d randomly become unable to walk. That prosthetic would never see the market.

I am still able to do the same sexual positions

If insurance covers or there's plenty of money to burn or invest, one can get an inflatable, cycle it consistently for a year to maximize tissue expansion, achieve the benefits of increased girth and expanded surgical capsule.

Over time, when it inevitably breaks down (as it surely will), switch to an aggressively sized malleable with the largest available diameter, maybe that loss will get compensated to some extent.

What I don't like about this approach is, each time we undergo a revision, we are once again exposed to the risk of infection and potential size loss, if the explanted device it not salvageable, depending on the severity of the infection.

End of the day, it's all about consenting to some form of risk-benefit ratio game.

2- I will but I want to take a photo with it properly engorged looking for a woman to help LOL

Can't you just arouse yourself? You know, like when masturbating.

No, masturbation is not enough , I never got much pleasure out of it even pre implant
