Hey guys, I’m getting revision surgery soon, and can not decide on what to do, been going back and forth between IPP and MPP.
Iv been rattling my brain about it for a few weeks and just when I think Iv decided, I end up changing my mind.
I currently have a IPP, Rigicon AX 10. Itscfailed after 2 years. My questions are;
1. With revision, how soon can you deflate after revision? I know with the first time, I had to keep it inflated for 4 weeks. Is it less with revision?
2. If I go with MPP, again, how soon can I start concealing it?
3. What’s peoples honest review on MPP, is it good to go with, do you regret it, is it easy to conceal?
4. Can anyone give me a better understanding on which one to go with,
My main concerns are,
- recovery time
- how soon I can conceal/ deflate
- long term liveability
- reliability in terms of future problems
The IPP so far has been fine, not had issues, been using it, easily put away, don’t really like the pumping aspect of it.
Any final thoughts or advice before I decide will be appreciated.
Revision surgery.

Re: Revision surgery.
I am 11 days out from my revision. I deflated some after the first three days when I removed the bandages and drain. Dr. Clavell told me that was not a problem since no concerns about size since the space is already established from the previous implant and I already know how to use it. He just said to pump it up every couple days. I deflated so it was easier to be around people and go out.
The recovery does seem faster too. I’ve been out already, including going to dinner or lunch about 4 times. I have still tried to avoid being on my feet or even sitting straight up for long periods to keep the swelling down. I’ve been hard at work all week, but have done much of that from my bed with my legs and pelvis elevated and a towel lifting my nuts up.The swelling has improved a lot already too and so far was never as bad.

Implanted 2/14/24 at age 50; revision 8/25/26 at 52 due to tubing fracture at pump; both 22cm Titans, no RTE's, classic pumps and implanted by Dr. Clavell. Years of worsening ed, tried everything, venous leak confirmed 2/2/24, surgery scheduled.

Re: Revision surgery.
I had Genesis for 2 years. I had great solo orgasms with it. Loved every single moment. The negatives for me - gradual reduction of circumferential girth by 0.5 inches. No hydraulic pressure like an inflatable or a good natural erection. Lower base stability. Rods were also bendy during PIV. These are not universal deal breakers, but it can be for those who don’t have good residual engorgement to compensate. If I had good PIV orgasms, I would’ve kept it. I think my bad experience overall stemmed from nerve damage. I still loved the prosthesis.
I got the Titan and the performance is outstanding for PIV. The flaccid feels like a plasticky piece of crap though. Pumping and deflation process also annoys the shit out of me. My wife likes the Titan better (as it’s still working lol).
I want to try out the Tactra and CX for my future revision surgeries (if I don’t end up broke with no insurance and replaced by AI Agents
).
Balloon - 6 weeks. My scrotal swelling lasted 3 months though. For my next revision surgery, I’d request a JP drain.
Rod - 8 weeks
Balloon - I deflated in 4 weeks. My surgeon allowed 3 weeks if comfortable.
Rod - I was able to bend after 6 weeks. Bend memory was imperfect though. It rebounded gradually as I love commando style. Just had to bend again while using the restroom. Hated tight underwears!
No problems for me. Looser pants and long shirts. It’s a learning curve. I adapted well.
Rods if sized and placed well, can last long. Tissue atrophy is individual and is subjective to one’s vascular health.
