Hakky or Clavell?

[Anthony]

This is a great reply from someone whom has dealt with both doctors. Good post, Anthony. Have you had the implant done? How is it? Your signature isn't clear on your current status.

Sig line amended. Not yet on implantation. Scheduled for 2nd May.

Hey Brother

I didn't ask him but from what i read / seen on his youtube he doesn't use a drain. He also doesn't use a catheter which i like a lot.

Not 100% sure about the drain tho. Wish you the best of luck with your revision!

Indeed, good to see you moving forward with Clavell.

Does anyone know if Clavell utilizes a drain immediately post op?

He does not. Nor does he use a catheter. My recovery has been very comfortable.

Does Hakky implant patients with AMS at all?

Yes he does. But he is not in the AMS center of excellence. He is most definitely biased towards the Titan.

The biggest sticking point for me in trying to choose Clavell is his extra long activation protocol all the way up to six weeks. Otherwise I would choose him in a heartbeat. Eid/Hakky and probably many other docs have very early cycling protocol which I like as this gives higher chance for the implant breaking through the scar tissue. Although some docs say that scar capsule takes a year to form but I just don't find that convincing. I think the scar tissue will start forming as soon as the body starts to heal. And the longer you leave the penis frozen the higher the chance that scar tissue will start forming and it'll become difficult to break that tissue especially with an AMS implant with it's much softer material. But then again so many people on this forum have cycled at six weeks and seems to have done fine. If I chose a Titan this would be less of a concern to me because it's a much stronger material.

You're overthinking this. In my opinion the cycling regimen of sooner or later should make no difference.

PLENTY of men thrilled with early cycling.
PLENTY of men thrilled with later cycling.

If there was any sort of noticeable difference in outcome between the two theories there would be consensus among all the high volume implanters. There is not. I wouldn't base a decision on which surgeon on post operative care opinions.

Find a doctor you trust first, counsel with them about which implant is best for you, double check their reasoning and opinions with your own research. If you still have that trust in them, then trust that they know what's best for you based on their own expertise and experiences.

Then, get that bad boy installed and take your sex life back. You'll wonder why you waited so long.

This is so well said. Sound advice.

I couldn’t see myself cycling before 6 weeks. Too tender, swelling, adhesion, scar healing, blisters, etc. I’m glad I didn’t bathe or cycle before 6 weeks. Clavell left me 60% inflated for 6 weeks

I wonder how soon internal stitches heal. I'm assuming they should heal before we start cycling or the risk of improper healing is high?
