He's told me that he used different length cylinders on eithe side of the shaft. He has done hundreds of implants, exclusively, in a large urban practice, examined me twice before the implant, and did not note any abnormalities - because there were none. I should know, right? I've been using it for nearly 70 yrs. He's been stringing me along for over a year, since 2/21 with the "it'll get better" routine. He's retiring so he may be training his PA to do the implants. During the revision, they moved the bulb and rerouted the tubing because they were misplaced, still defending his decision to use different cylinders.
Well, I may have been too harshly judging on his attitude. I don't know how long ago the surgery was (Did you specify?).
I have heard of implants that could not be placed all the way into the glans (at the end of the tunica albuginea where most go) because of scar tissue, congenital/birth anomalies, etc. Odd such would not be mentioned in the operating report, but not particularly alarming.
It is not uncommon to have anomalies with an implant (particularly length/shortening) resolve themselves after some time has passed. Sometimes months.
When you inflate, does your penis straighten? To a usable extent? Picture would help. A kink like that when uninflated, even it never goes away might be a non-issue for you. An issue for other men.
Please don't take my (heated) advice to cause you to burn any bridges with your primary surgeon.
A frank talk with your Patient Liaison just asking his/her opinion should not hurt.
