New implant
Hey guys had an ams 700 put in 3 weeks ago. My current issue is even deflated it still points straight out so going to work and out in public can be painful + awkward. Will it eventually relax and get limper or?
Re: New implant
had my implant almost 3 weeks but it's partially inflated from surgery,post-op app next week,I guess I'll be deflated then.

Re: New implant
I am 16 days out. My current state of deflation is the same as yours. I start cycling in 3 days and and hope for improvement then.

Re: New implant
So I take it this is normal? Mine is deflated and my post opp appt isn’t for another month.
Re: New implant
When my soreness dissapated some I pressed the deflate butten for four seconds during which time I squeezed the shaft from the head back to the base. This seemed to help a little but now I'm leaving it alone until I see the doctor.

Im 7 months post op and the first 6 weeks he said he leaves it partly inflated to get the glans to adhear to the tips. I wouldn't mess with what he has done unless he gives the ok.

Re: New implant
Are you sure it's totally deflated? Soon after surgery, my fully deflated state was not completely flaccid, but it didn't stick out enough to be painful or embarrassing. I did get some David Archy 2-pouch underwear that would help bend the penis down a little and keep it under control, but they also put it right out in front, which created a little more of a bulge in some ways. If you can wear loose, long tailed shirts, that can help.
After lots of cycling, the implant now is very flaccid if I drain it completely. I have to squeeze the fluid out to reach that state, starting with index finger and thumb just behind the head and then squeezing one finger at a time, back up the shaft. Sort of a reverse milking squeeze.
Regardless of how empty it gets, it will always be more "substantial" flaccid than before, as the cylinders are a little stiffer than the flesh they replace. It actually feels good to me. There's a litte more heft, girth, and length in both the shaft and the sack than before. Happy to discuss further if you need.

A few days after the surgery I went back to have the drain tube removed and the doc also deflated the pump. Just to be sure Ive tried deflecting it again a couple times with no change.
