Can you elaborate on shallow crura?
Dr Clavell says he’s never received complaints about axial rigidity, loose / wiggling base or fat pad. Said it sounds like an anatomy issue, not implant. So unless this fixes itself, I’m screwed
In my opinion and I'm not a doc, Individuals with shallower crura have less internal length for anchoring implants. This can affect the stability of penile implants. I'll use a nail in a wall analogy.
In a thick, sturdy wall, you can drive the nail deep enough to secure it firmly. A deeply embedded nail can hold significant weight and resist bending or pulling forces. Similarly, when the implant is inserted deeply into normal-length crura, it achieves optimal stability. If the wall is thin or shallow, you can't drive the nail in very far. A nail that's only partially embedded is more likely to wobble, bend, or even come loose under stress. Likewise, an implant in shallow crura can't be inserted as deeply, reducing its anchoring and stability. Also I think the structural integrity of the crura matters. Healthy, robust crura provide better anchoring than those compromised by medical conditions.
55 years. Using bimix 0.4 units. Works well but inconsistent and very inconvenient. Seriously considering an implant. 6.4 inches bone pressed length to tip, 5 inches girth base, 4.5 inches girth mid-shaft.
