I'm Back. Need a New Implant

[duke_cicero]

FB,
I was messing with it. I have a Fleshlight I modified by cutting off the silicone sleeve so it's just a doughnut or ring. While pushing it down fully against my pubis I gave the already inflated implant a few squeezes. Something in this process caused it to rupture apparently.
These things are durable but not indestructible. It's sex not a gym workout. Another lesson learned the hard way.

I realize I'm going out on a limb, here, but I'm more inclined to think something happened to the tubing apart from what you were doing with the toy. Maybe it was coincidental. There are guys on this forum who do intense running and bicycling with their IPPs, and the jostling and pressure of either running or cycling is probably a lot more wear and tear on the device than what you were giving it.

I agree, but apparently I tore or separated the inner layer at the seam when I was pushing down on the Fleshlight while inflating at the same time. Who knows. I would have bet it was tubing as well, that perhaps was pinched or worse severed and "self sealed" or something.
Anyways, we will know next month when he removes it. Which is what he concluded with when I saw him.
I had no problems prior. Nothing to indicate impending doom.
I called today. No cancelations yet.

I have an appoint with Dr Patel Monday, though I am scheduled for surgery with Dr Karpman end of Feb. Maybe he can deflate this thing a lil for me in the meantime.

On the positive side, you'll receive a longer cylinder and a brand-new device, undergo a simpler surgery, and enjoy a faster recovery. There's nothing like it.

These devices are engineered to last over 20 years, with 50% enduring 20 years or more and an annual failure rate of less than 1%.

Dr. Eddie Karpman is a high volume dedicated implanter, who will provide exceptional care with his outstanding bedside manner, and you'll be back in action in no time, bigger and stronger than ever.

...Someone here posted if anyone went from LGX to CX and if they could comment on the difference. I’m curious of this myself. Is the CX, in fact, a girthier, more rigid device?..

Hey F1, I'm considering a revision to CX/LGX/Titan. I consulted a surgeon who does hundreds of implants a year + Boston Scientific COE and this is what I gathered. Everyone's anatomy is different, so take these with a grain of salt!

-If total cylinder length is over 18 cm, he strongly recommends a CX.
-Anecdotally, he sees LGX with higher failure rates beyond 18 cm, with weaker axial rigidity that can lead to bending even at max inflation.
-LGX is also not recommended by him for fibrosis or Peyronie's.
-At 18 cm and shorter lengths, the differences between CX and LGX are negligible.
