im getting surgery for a 80 degree congenital curvature

whilst the good old doc is down there making incisions and patching stuff up, was thinking of beefing things up a little.

my sexual self image is piss poor. directly tied to my deformed penis and poor erections through my entire early adulthood. life is hard as it is (im literally a cripple) but im coping just fine.

tunical enhancement while fixing the defect is an option. looking at 1.5-3cm girth gains here. risk isn't an issue to me at all, fully ready for an implant in the future anyway if needed. im getting ligation work done at the same time anyway.

just wondering what you guys think could possibly go wrong (not pertaining to the surgery). I can't really see how this might be a bad idea besides placing one foot onto the hedonic treadmill  :-\

There are a bazillion ways it could go wrong. Don't misunderstand me, having had two surgeries in 2016 (first hernia and then penile plications) I was read up and engaged in attempting to make sure nothing actually did go wrong. But, not all the risks are in your control.

- Your immune system may be impaired and you catch an infection during surgery.
- This infection may or may not be curable depending on which one it is and how bad it gets before they acknowledge you've been infected. Some infections are not curable (HIV infection, for example).
- Your immune system is great but your personal hygiene sucks and you contract an infection anyway.
- The surgeon is an amateur butcher and you're like, um, his sixth body. You want to be his 60th body. Experience counts.
- The surgeon you're meeting with has done dozens or hundreds of penile surgeries already, BUT he is too experienced to actually do the work these days so while he represents that he "is" the surgeon, he doesn't tell you that a junior wanna be will actually be the one cutting you that day. It is not uncommon for Junior to say, "Oooops." And, that was your dick.
- You have an allergic reaction to the anesthesia and die. No more need for a dick then.
- One of the assistants in the operating room accidentally sets the anesthesia, overdosing you, killing you.
- There's a mix up in the operating room and they completely overlook your dick while amputating your left leg at the knee.
- Then, focusing more on the dick, what you're proposing may not be all that scary, but your dick is made of many systems. It's not just a dick. You're entertaining the idea of breaching AND modifying a number of those systems. Again, this may be fine. BUT, if you don't have the self control of a SELF CONTROL FREAK, then you may do what other fools have done and start having sex or jacking off way, way, way before a reasonable amount of healing has occurred in the various systems that were breached. It only takes one stupid lapse of self control and you introduce a staggering amount of risk that some portion of the healing process will fail or suffer a setback. Will there be long term consequences to your new infrastructure? Most men seem to find God in that moment and start praying for mercy. Do you have self control? Better pour proverbial concrete around the part of your brain that controls sexual desire.

I'm just reviewing the gauntlet of features associated with surgery here in the U.S.

Maybe it's better in your country?

The entirety of what you're proposing doesn't seem unreasonable to me. As long as you manage the risks that can be managed, and ask lots of questions about the risks being managed by those you entrust your dick to.

Lots of highly risk averse men here on the Forum. The thought of surgery is anathema to them and they're quick to verbalize opposition. But surgery isn't much different that any other activity you partake of where death is an option, you know, getting out of bed, swimming in the Atlantic of the Florida coast, going to work, working on a fishing boat off Alaska, driving a car, being a member of the opposition in Syria or Iran ;D

You get the point.

Best regards,

John

Hey man, sounds good. I hope you'll get some good results that you can be happy about. I wouldn't expect too much though so you won't be dissapointed and you probably still need a lot of time to forget about sexual issues all together since you've been dealing with this for a long time. I would love to hear about your progress and the doctor you're doing the procedure with.
Age: 25
Date of onset: 17
Symptoms: sharp pains, numbness, change in shape/size, hourglassing and discolaration from jelqing/VED usage as a teen. Diagnosed with a venous leak and possible scarring.
Treatments tried: cialis, pentox and VED didnt help

JohnW, thanks for the hilarious post. I'm only willing to work with surgeons who don't kick me out of the office for starting an hour and a half long, borderline autistic discussion about the specifics of the surgery, so there's that  ;D.

popopo, thanks! you can PM me for more information, not fond of name dropping doctors. I basically emailed doctors who have papers on tunical enlargement whether part of an implant or whatever, and asked if they could do the same but without an implant.

Take six,

If you opt for an implant you will undoubtedly be fitted wth an AMS 700 CX.  This is typically used on patients with Peyronies.  The CX model when inflated will expand girth but not length.  You will still maintain your current length but girth will increase.  Do a google search on it and you can read about it.

TakeSix -- Boosting girth v.s. length.

Length: For clarity, it's up to you and the surgeon to agree on what the strategy will be. The corpora reach all the way up into the glans. It is perfectly routine for the surgeon to extend the implant chambers all the way to the tippy tip of the corpora. I've watched videos (as I have not yet gone the implant route) of successful implants adding several centimenters to the length.

Girth: There is at least one model that adds girth and length. I don't fully comprehend the rules of posting links, so rather than getting whacked for bad behavior, just PM me if that's a thing of interest.
