I am told that the implant is two inches inside the body to allow for some erection room. But I think the Dr. is finding out that scar tissue holds back the implant and causes erect loss.
I was told my length will come back in 6 wks, then in two months and then in six months and now it is not back in over 8 months!. I measured the same way before and after surgery, so any errors in my measurement are consistant...
As far as I know, there is no spacer to prevent re attaching, so I am left to assume the implant itself acts as a spacer, but if so the implant will have to be stitched somewhere...So, i do not know for sure!
I have made a decision to remove it when my work sechedule allows it. I have NOT made a decision of what to do next. Since retraction seems to be a problem after removal, I feel at this stage that I HAVE to do something else after removal to prevent further retraction. Else, I would love to go back to my original stats!
This is pissing me off to no end, I go in and pay my life savings to get to have more sex, the result is quite the opposite!
Misinformation and stupid social pressures to have a bigger dick fucked it all up...My decesion based on bad info, partially my fault I guess!

[quote author=donjuannabe board=articles thread=34 post=602 time=1289667014]Hi ck62498, thank you for posting an update, I am glad to see that your recovery is progressing nicely. I know in your first post to this thread you mentioned that you spoke with a few other patients before getting the surgery. Did any of them mention anything about the length loss? If so, did they say it came back or how long it took to come back?]
donjuannabe, All of the people I spoke with said they did experience length loss but it came back, didn't ask a time frame. No additional length was gained. At the time I wasn't concerned because I was already conditioned for this response. Looking back, I should have asked more questions regarding there experience with length loss and if they had any concerns along the way.
I will continue to share my experience with everyone interested because I've been on the sidelines gathering info and waiting for my turn. This whole process is very hard to describe, when you live with it, daily tasks take on a whole new meaning. What I mean is, the smallest little issue due to being a new experience is enough to drive you mad.
All is good and you do get used to things pretty quickly.
CK

Are you thinking of getting the implant? if so, be sure you are very clear about its pros and cons. There is a new softer material that will be used soon, so ask all the Q's b4 you go in. It is a MAJOR life altering decision.

With the exception of the length loss, congratulations on what appears to be a problem free recovery, ck62498. To answer your earlier question, I cannot feel where the implant ends in my pelvic region.
I'm sorry to hear of your decision to remove the implant, mustang2020. Keep us informed of what you decide to do, especially if you decide to go with the belladerm.

Mustang, I'm truly sorry this is troubling you to the point of removing the implant. If you ever want to chat shoot me a pm and I’ll give you my number.
I've been trying to understand the length loss situation, and it seems all procedures are affected with this. I have noticed some length gain returning and also noticed that while erect my scrotum is pulled forward, allot. I took a BP measurement and I’m the exact same size nearly full erect. I have also pulled the skin back and really stretched things on the shaft and it looks amazing.
This is my thought, I think we need some sort of support that will keep our package where it belongs forcing the shaft skin to expand and multiply. I'm placing a call to the DR. for his thoughts. I think with time the shaft skin will catch up or get close.
I personally have a fat pad, not thick but it's there. I wonder the fat pad makes you more likely to experience length loss because it allows more opportunity for the scrotal skin to move forward. Someone with little or no fat pad may experience some length loss initially but the shaft skin is forced to adapt to the situation.
For all following, What do you think?
CK

ccwbar, if you have any questions you can pm me. This is a procedure that can't be taken lightly. There are many men who have had complications. I'm ok to date but still not out of the woods.
Good luck with your decision, I followed for a solid year, decision made, just waiting for the right time. It's tough to block out a full two weeks.

Stalemango,
Thanks, things are going very good so far. The usual concerns with the unknowns but for the most part no complaints.
Still have some swelling, tried the milking or stretching and things got swollen so I haven't repeated. Things are ok.
Good to hear from you.
CK

ck62498, Do you think that the length loss you have experienced is more of a visible type of loss than an actual type of loss? What I mean is when you say you measured BP it was about the same as pre-surgery, but the implant seems to be causing the surrounding areas to move up the shaft (due to the new expansion) and therefor causing the appearance of loss rather than a true physical loss?
mustang2020, do you think this is the same for you, or do you feel that you have experienced true physical loss, i.e. shortening of the tuncia and ligs?
stalemango, If I have read correctly, you did not experience any of these problems? In your opinion, why do you think that is?
Thank you all. My Best wishes to all of you.

I noticed that I do not "bottom out" as I used to do when having sex with the same woman even thu It is all the way in! I measured many times b4 and after surgery and I still see about an inch loss. The "effective length" that goes in the vagina is less for sure. I do not have a big fatty pad, I am not fat by any means but of course there is some fat in that area and my weight has not changed since the op. I have videos and pix of my penis b4 surgery and it is very clear that there is an inch of erect loss. The flaccid length is much longer now but to me flaccid in not important, it is the "effective erect length" that goes in the vagina that matters to me.
Most people who had the implant experienced erect length loss, only a few had none. I did NOT get the lig cut by the way. The Dr. advised me against it, and later I was told that he does not do it right anyway.

stalemango, If I have read correctly, you did not experience any of these problems? In your opinion, why do you think that is? No, I have not experienced any issues of length loss or loss of sensation, donjuannabe. I wouldn't even know where to begin to speculate as to why. I have experienced ugly stretch marks and penoscrotal webbing. I contacted Dr. Elist to schedule surgery to remove the webbing, but he never returned my calls or e-mails once I sent him a photograph of the webbing as requested by one of the ladies in his office. I contacted a urologist/surgeon on the east coast and, after briefly commenting on the risk of penis enlargement when I informed her of the implant, she said she would be reluctant to operate on me. I've found better condoms than the Magnum XXL, so I have decided to pocket the money I would have spent on the webbing removal surgery and not press whatever luck is on my side. |

That's extremely sketchy and unprofessional to hear about Dr. Elist not responding to emails or phone calls.

I've measured twice now while erect and the measurements are accurate, I'm actually closer to 5 3/4. Pre surgery i was between 5.5 and 6 depending on strength of erection. While erect I can pull the skin back to stretch the shaft skin, this gives me my pre surgery length appearance. When I did this I decided to get a measurement and the base increased to almost 7.75; some of this is left over swelling, it looks amazing either way, wish it would stay like that. I'm going to focus on stretching the shaft skin only and see what happens. I wonder if a cock ring would help with this? Mustang, I at the moment would think I can only use what I see as well. It would be funny to say to a lady friend, hold it right there till I get it all the way in, lol. Did you ever take bp measurements? If I didn't before all this I would have never noticed. One inch is allot visually. Are you able to pull back your skin and if so does it give you more girth? You have been working on trying to figure this out alto longer than me and may have already researched this, if so let me know your findings. Many Thanks CK CK |
