I can tell you I am not happy with mine. Since I have had mine, I have lost most "gym friends" as they see the guy walk in an unusual hardon pointing downwards, and when I sit down its pointed and hard petruding thru my gym shorts, not flaccid like it was pre-op. I lost length, but my girth stayed the same only it looks completely rediculous and fake as hell. 1 tube is way larger than the left and it bubbles out. The left smaller tube is inferior and gives way to the right larger tube causing a peyronie's disease look on steroids, whereas, I had a slight bend to the left before surgury.
Having 6 inch girth prior to surgery, it was kind of hard to hide in gym shorts or tight jeans, so I got looks from women constantly at the gym and in general. Post op I get looks of confusion, like they are thinking, "is he stuffing something down there?" and I think many women think just that. It looks freakishly unnatural, and let's say I want to do Yoga? Forget it, there would be complaints from multiple women thinking I am some pervert. I won't even think of trying it. Or maybe I want to learn self defense and go take Brazilan Ju-Jitsu. Um, every dude will think you are gay as Ffff, with your permanent hardon. It NEVER goes flaccid like you are now, at least with the Titan. I can't speak for the AMS, but I wish I could havd the AMS knowing what I know about the Titan. And don't think you are getting the full truth if you call Titan to get a consultant to call you back. They will tell you how great it is, and how much women love it. Some of that is probably true, but the cons far outweigh the pros. And if you schedule surgery, and cancel 3 times like I did, reps will call you and flat out lie to convince you to do it. At least they did with me.
This was supposed to help my confidence, but it has done nothing but make me not want to be in public. People litterly look at in and laugh. It's not mental either. You think people want you around their kids if they think you are a likely pervert? I can tell you my quality of life is much worse than before.
And for those old, retired guys here that are going to tell me to wear super baggy clothes, just save it, especially if you have the body shape like a bag of milk. Just save it, becuase I dont want to hear it. You will never understand if you work out zero days per year.
I have the same issue. My flaccid angle points out around 4 o clock, and It seems there is some auto-inflation. I use to gym 6 days a week and train muay thai, as well a wear tight suits for work. All this has been affected because I have a pointy flaccid, to top it off the dog ear also points out profoundly, It looks really strange in tight clothes, I have to make sure I have a long shir to cover it up.
I am wondering if after a few months, the flaccid angle will drop and the cylinders will soften? It's been ten months now I have not seen much improvement.
You are right, if I was 70 yrs old, living a mostly sedentary lifestyle, I wouldn't care about this pointy bulge. But, being 35, living an active lifestyle etc, it really affects your quality of life.
I haven't seen anyone else complain of this, so I am guessing that we are either anomalies or everyone else is not as active?
Don't count on it softening. Mine was Feb of 2021 and here it is 2 1/2 years later. There's nothing that really has softened. I really hate that people here have hidden the cons. I suspect there are Choloplast BLAST accounts, along with docs doing the same. Had I known I would be an outcast I would have never done this.
I went to a 5 day Real Estate event in Phoenix 6 months or so ago. I had something in common with a younger kid, in his early 20's. We both bought and sold land. I was gravitated towards him because we had that in common and in the beginning of being around a seminare of strangers you will band together with people you introduce yourself to. It did not take this young kid long to visibly panick thinking I was sexually aroused around him. I was sitting in the conference chair next to him focused on the speaker, and I could see he kept looking down, so I casually covered up, and he got up and moved. With 4 days left of the conference, he acted like I did not exist. There was a couple and the GF thought I was gay because I was talking with her BF about something realestate related. She was looking at me with disgust. When i got up to get food, they were all like whispering to each and table of 6. When I came back everyone acted like I had the plague and I was being completely ignored. A couple of young vendors I could see clearly looking down, making hand gestrues to the curvature pointing downward and laughing. This is one of the times truely knew this implant is a big problem to my social life. I mean I wanted to pretend it was my imagination, but this was the point I knew it's so obvious to people. Last night in the gym I forgot my headphones so I experienced the gym without loud music. I heard two 18ish girls talking, and one looked over and told her friend that I always seem to be hard and they giggled. I can just imagine how people would react at the beach or a public pool. FORGET IT! Words cannot describe how much I hate this implant. And I know why Choloplast hide behind 70 year old patients as liaisons. They want the 70 year olds to tell you to politely to contanct the Doc and not bother them. These guys have no clue what it's like because their past it and they can get away with wearing clown pants, and they cannot relate to this what-so-ever.
Sorry you have to go through that man, I had hope that things would improve for me, but looks like chances are slim in that aspect.
Is yours due to the girth? what's your flaccid angle and do you have dog ears? My dog ears sticks out in tight clothes, looks like a pin sticking out of my pants where my penis is.
Have you tried seeing another surgeon for a second opinion?
To top it off, mine squeaks/honks as well when pumping, it's pretty loud. And, I have pain by the frenulum and an apparent retracted graft which makes one side slimmer than the other.
Really lost for ideas other than just accepting it. But, it really affects your quality of life, I have to be extra careful in the gym with what I wear, and extra careful playing with kids, don't want someone to think I have an erection.
There's got to be a solution, I refuse to give up.
