Implant tips in glans

[sambalamba]

Implanted by Dr. Clavell going on 6 weeks ago. The tips are close to half way into my glans and I am pain free. See Dr. Clavell on Tuesday for post op and activation.

I presume Dr. Clavell kept you at 60-70% inflated all this time. Does he recommend keeping it pointed up towards your belly as some other docs suggest?

Are most people satisfied with placement of tips within glans? Do high volume Dr like Hakky/Clavell/Eid… get it mostly right or are there cases which have resulted in ischemia/extrusion (or close). There is a risk with aggressive sizing. I’ve seen posts here about persistent pain, this is unfortunate as there’s no way to “fix” it other than getting a revision and hoping it will be better.

I can feel the tips when pressing into the head. As far as Im concerned Perito placed everything perfectly and this is why he has the reputation that he has. Overall my implant was a complete success. He told me beforehand that he would try to "push it"to place the implant as long or large as possible.

How hard is it to place the tips half way up the glans? Is it pretty much take what you get? For those with not much/infrequent glans encouragement, are the tips comfortable if placed deeper than half way?

Id highly recommend telling whatever surgeon you go to that you don't have to be oversized nor do you want them to be aggressive with the sizing. Probably different opinions on this but I'd say no further than the middle of the glans when you are flaccid.

I think aggressive or oversizing is a two way street. Surgeons offer because they know it sells, and many patients push the surgeons to do it because they want the biggest implant possible (although I think wanting this is nonsense).

In my opinion, Eid has the reputation of being the least aggressive sizer of the big names. However, he doesnt undersize and when he did my surgery the originally the tips were in a perfect location.

So you had Eid do your first surgery and then Hakky did your 2nd? Can you share why you didnt go back to Eid, if thats the case?
thanks

Why not put the tips where the original corpora end? Might this not be different for everyone?

I have always gotten the best glans engorgement when my erection was hardest and gave the most stretch, without or with trimix injections. In other words, if the trimix erection is even 95%, my glans won't fully engorge. It has to be 100% for complete engorgement.

Also, the tighter my foreskin gets stretched away from the glans, the better the sensation. If the foreskin remains even slightly loose, it doesn't feel very good.

For this reason I'm a little worried that even a slightly lesser sizing will ruin my glans engorgement.

I get the problem of pain though. I can't comment on this but I have seen some people write about stretching with VED use after implant to reduce this problem.

Made a post about it already. Basically Eid thought I had a hard case after my implant started going down hill, didnt seem confident. Hakky presented as confident. I'm sure Eid could have done it but it did put me off. I would be happy with either, and confidence does not mean skill all the time.

My surgeon Dr. Billy Cordon told me that I was oversized slightly to give me the best results. This led to a longer and a more painful recovery for me. Later on I saw Dr. Eid to show him my surgery results wherein he thought that I was oversized quite a bit and that it will create a problem in future for me. Dr. Eid thought that the implant tip will be painful for my partner and that there may be a risk of erosion.
I went back to my surgeon with this observation and he was not in agreement with Dr. Eid's analysis and said that in my case since I don't have pain I should be ok and that my penile tissues are healthy due to my relatively young age. Since Dr. Cordon has trained under Dr. Eid he even called up Dr. Eid and spoke to him. Later he told me that I will be fine.
My left cylinder tip is about 3/4th inside my glans while the right one is about 1/2 inside.
I have not faced any issue till now and my partner has never complained about any pain. I continue to remain cautious about the positioning of the left cylinder and keep monitoring it.

This appears to be the right thread for my Q: In Nov 2018, I was implanted with a 22cm Titan + 2cm RTEs and have had no issues with my overall 'effectiveness' and activity (read: fun!!). Because of blood in my urine for a week early last month, a new Williamsburg, VA Uro doc came into my life. After an abdominal CT Urogram, he diagnosed me with bladder cancer (6 'spots' in all) that will be addressed during a Mar 4th procedure of what amounts to be a D&C (without the 'D') and a chemo instillation. That aside, during my in-office confirmation cystoscopy and a physical inspection of my penis, he "warned" me to keep my bionic-ness fully deflated unless being used!! Since my 6-week OK for use in 2018, I've always been pumped between 6 to 10 pumps with my max topping out at 23 to 25 pumps and no ill effects. My current reaction to this "warning" is to say F U !!!!! But, in case I'm missing something I thought I'd reach out to the people who actually have implants and not rely on a non-implanter uro-wannabe for advice. What say you all?

Only that Uro can explain why they thought that was important. A possible explanation is this: The body forms a scar capsule around any foreign object. Whenever the implant is full the reservoir is empty(-ish). So if the implant is kept inflated all the time the scar capsule around the reservoir can make it difficult to deflate the implant. I can’t imagine this is an issue if the implant is fully deflate, even momentarily, every once in a while.

I saw this once in a guy who had such bad arthritis in his hands he had kept his implant fully inflated ALL THE TIME. (Short implant and a big belly hid it). He was no longer able to deflate because the reservoir was encapsulated in scar relatively empty. When his implant finally failed he switched to a malleable.

It doesn’t sound like this would be an issue for you. As long as you are inflating/deflating from time to time it won’t be a problem.
