I had an implant with him a few months ago. I've had some issues which I was surprised by... Some have resolved on their own, others not. I need a revision...

Thanks mate, I was following your thread closely. I think you are considering to go with Hakky now.
Can I ask what made you dissatisfied?
I have seen him at Kind Edwards, and I think he is not spending enough time to listen and rushing things. Can you share your experiences a bit more?

Is the revision due to dog ears? Your size came back didnt it?

Well, I was originally dissatisfied with the asymmetry of the tips, but these resolved with cycling. However, my glans is angled downwards, Ralph seemed to suggest that it was congenital and may improve with time but that is yet to be seen.

Things I'm less satisfied with were an accidental 1.5 inch lateral lasceration across the top of my penis. Ralph didn't seem overly concerned about that but I am. What's the point in making a discreet incision if I'm going to have an obvious scar right across my dick?

This was less Ralph's fault but more the nursing team but they appear to have ripped out the drain without disabling the suction effect which caused me excruciating pain in my scrotum for months (still present today).

And lastly, the tubing has apparently become displaced as confirmed by Ralph himself. The tubing is very prominent, uncomfortable and is in places even visible. This, along with the angle of the glans is why I need a revision.

This is a fair assessment of my case. I think many, perhaps if not all of these issues could have been avoided and so I am disappointed.

That said, no infection from what I can see, I think the tips appear to be in a fine position from what I understand, the pump seems in an ok position, I don't think there's any extrusion. So in the grand scheme of things it's not a total disaster, but this accidental injury is bad in my view.

No dog ears. Issues as described above. Length I think pretty much came back, girth is less impressive but that may come with time

Got it very clear, what is latest your plan ? Go woth Hakky next time? Are you already in touch with him?

Thanks for sharing - did Dr. Ralph's clinic offer you a revision? Also was it private or NHS?

Hey mate...you say the tubing has become displaced. How did this happen...how can it happen? And what happens it tubing becomes displaced?

I had an implant with Dr Rees and I'm happy with the result but I can definitely feel some tubing beneath the base of the penis, more so on the left side. If the balls go loose and hang low I can see the tubing on the left side. It doesn't really bother me much and I've accepted it as par for the course with an implant...but if it can become displaced then that might worry me.
