Sticky valve? Will it self resolve?

Implant leakage - less than 3 months in :(

Postby Wodjathat » Thu Oct 09, 2025 8:32 am

CT scan confirmed I have a slow leak. They can’t identify where from though.

Last Friday the problem first emerged. I would run out of fluid by 25 pumps. Today I ran out at 19 pumps.

So less than 3 months in from getting an implant, off I will go for a revision.

Hoping this will happen sooner rather than later, but not really looking forward to it, if that makes sense.

My guess is they will have to do a complete changeover because they can’t pin point the leak. It will be interesting to see where it actually leaked from.

Feels a bit like Groundhog Day. At least I have a fair idea now what I am in for. Patience Grasshopper, patience.
66 years old. On 21 July 2025 implanted with Rigicon Infla10. Length 24cm, Volume 110ml, 1cm Extenders
Leak in tube from pump to cylinder at 12 weeks.
Revision made on 11 November 2026. Everything replaced except reservoir.
