Hi guys.
I had the plication surgery in Melbourne to correct about a 40°-45 ° congenital curvature in june 2017, 2 years on and in the last few months it has slowly come back, i'd say to around 30- 35°. It was plicated in 2 x spots up the side of me, i'd say it seems one area has let go or stretched somehow.
This is quite disheartening as i can barely stand the thought of going through surgery again, and certainly doesnt give me much confidence in having the same procedure re-done...
Im unsure how i feel about it all.
Seems a waste of alot of money.
And now i have thoughts of going through the grafting side of things/adding to the long side which i hear has more risks?
Or should i just leave it all alone and live with it...
I'd love to know if theres any grafting experts in australia, and would like to hear from anyone whos had it done.

Hopefully the 30'degrees is manageable, if not reconsider surgery but be sure to go the best and most recommended surgeon you can afford.

If you have ANY degree of ED I would at least consider an implant especially if you are over 40 years old.
