Can an implant regain lost size?

[JayGould]

Lets say you lost length and girth because of Peyronie's...could an implant regain that lost size or will you end up with your shrunk size?

[DonBecker54]

The good doctors will tell you that your erection will not be longer than what your God-given Tunica is. If there's scar tissue and/or plaque on the Tunica, that's going to limit how much length you'll get.

That said, Eid, Kramer, and others will remove any plaque/scar tissue that's accessible while doing the implant. That can possibly restore some pre-Peyronie's loss.

I've thought of something regarding Peyronie's and implants, but too late for me. I wonder if getting treated with Xiaflex injections to break up the plaque before going forward with an implant would give the patient more length than just an implant on a Peyronie's-affected penis. I asked a doc about Xiaflex, and he was willing to do it, but there's a 14% chance of penis fracture.

Per my local urologist I was administered verapmil and xiaflix - over a year and a half of injections for both treatment modalities and then followed up with my implant. The verapmil and xiaflix did nothing to help with my curvature- in fact it made it significantly worse. In my opinion I have not seen any benefit either pre or post implant.

Interesting. That makes me feel a little better about not trying the Xiaflex route. I do wish I'd never done injections, though. Those caused scar tissue which reduced length.

[Rob1961]

Yes. I agree. I was much better off before the injections - lost at least 1/2-3/4" from scar tissue/peyroines- most of it caused by the injections.

Yeah, I posted a warning about that over in the Injections forum, but all of those guys say it's not true.

It happened to me and I only used the shots a handful of times. Scar tissue formed and it bent upwards. I wish I had gotten the implant first and skipped the shots.

So the implant did not fix your bend?

Does this mean you still have a curved penis even after getting an implant?

Same here! Mine developed a bend to the left. Luckily I'm straight now with an implant.
