Large knots on both sides of base

Postby Curved-Guy » Fri Jan 24, 2025 1:26 pm

I’m on my third implant and I have large knots on both sides of the base. They are only noticeable when fully pumped up. I asked my Dr and he said it was normal but there’s almost .25 inch of length below that could be usable. I have lost a considerable amount of weight but I’m going to schedule an appointment since it’s been almost six months to see what can be done. Has anyone else heard or have this?

Do you think it's the connections to your cylinders? I had tubing bunched up on the base of mine, left side. That was with the Titan, so far do not have this issue with the AMS

On the right side it’s the tubing it seems to be attached too high. On the left feels like it could have been sutures or something similar. When I’m pumped to the max it gets a bit sore and extremely hard.
