Concerned about loss of length

Postby sliphill » Sun Jun 04, 2017 1:22 pm

I haven't had natural erections that happens at night for about a year now. Haven't been able to get a nice hard dick in about 7 months with injections, so I'm sure I have lost some length. Now I wasn't big to begin with, about 6". Couple that with doctor saying I could lose a little length. I might be down to 5". I asked if I should use a vacuum pump before surgery, and he said NO. So I know there is nothing I can do about now, as surgery is this Friday. Just wanted to throw it out there to see how some you guys fared!

Be sure to tell him you don't want to lose any length. If he's competent you won't. Praying for God to guide the hands of the surgeon.

Do you have any peyronies? Scarring? If not, then it's a red flag if your surgeon says you might lose length.

No peyronnies, slight amount of scarring. He just said it's a possibility. Damn, wonder if I should cancel at this point!

Question: The scarring from Peyronies is not broken during surgery? If so what effect would it cause, if not why would it cause anymore shortage than you already have.

MasterCard,
It's tricky ... some surgeons will address the scar tissue (called modeling) remove or cut out what they can. Most insurance companies will NOT pay for extensive modeling ... so if the surgeon does not get paid ... well you know the rest.

Scar tissue does not stretch well (it actually hurts) so most times you will get a AMS CX or a Titan, as these expand in girth only and are designed (thicker material) for guys with Peyronie's.
