Surgery date set for the 17th January 2023  with Dr Chris Love (one of Australia's best).

Booked for the Tunica Mesh Expansion procedure and implant (titan). The procedure will also require a circumcision.

My journey with this disease is logged here:

These are my final pics before I get the implant, my surgery date was changed to the 7th Feb, I get admitted tomorrow, the 6th Feb, and discharged on the 8th Feb. I have chosen Australia's best surgeon, Dr Chris Love.

I am having the implant, tunica mesh expansion procedure, and scrotal web procedure all done together.

The below pics are the current state of my peyronies, as you can see, most of the dents/scar tissue is on the underside. I have uploaded pics from my whole 4 year journey with peyronies here: https://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.php/topic,17693.0.html You can clearly see how the disease progressed, how it went from just a curve, to dents, curvature, narrowing and twist over the past 4 years.

It does look like RestoreX may have helped a bit with length. I measured at around 6.5inches currently, but what I have learned is that, it is very difficult to get an accurate measurement. Pushing slightly deeper with a ruler, on an angle, having an off day, Erectile Dysfunction etc, you can never really get an accurate measurement in my opinion.

Looking forward to putting this disease past me.

Appreciate everyone and all the advice and support, in particular user OldMan who always gave amazing advice on the VED, StepOne who always gave encouraging advice on the implant, Monty who helped me with a new VED routine, and Morphball who I met on this forum and we have been talking via phone/text, he is also from Australia and has been a great support. Also thank you to Hawk who created this forum, without this forum, I probably would have listened to the first urologist I went to who told me it was all in my head and rushed me out of his office!

Will update soon, with pics and measurements, wish me luck!

Day 2:

I woke up at about 11:30pm yesterday, the surgery was a success, pics attached. We didnt proceed with the scrotal web procedure, but continued with TEP and the implant.

I saw the doctor twice today he advised I either have a 25cm or 26cm titan, he did two patients and will check his notes and confirm. This seems quite large as I was 6.5 inches pre-op, maybe 7-7.5 in my high school days, but I did do the TEP procedure as well. Can anyone confirm if the titans that go over 24cm give extra girth?

The pain isn't too bad, my left leg was numb for a while as they gave some nerve blockers, they removed the bandage and replaced it once, I got to look and it seems like the dents are filled out, will take better pics once the bandage is permanently removed.

Overall, I feel good, my current length is probably 4.75-5 inches, i'm not fully inflated. Feeling happy that peyronies is over and looking forward to the future and having a functional penis.

I will do a longer post on Dr Chris Love and his team. He was very confident, knowledgeable, kind, and considerate. He even told me he could make an incision lower and deglove most of the penis in which case this wouldnt require a cirumsiscion, however, he may be able to get more length if he circumsized me and saw the whole penis. I opted fr the latter option. In our post implant consult he advised that there was narrowing and fibrosis all throughout my penis, even close to the glands.

I'm stil a bit drowsy and drugged up, I will post more soon.

I'm happy to talk to any of the guys who want to know about my journey and need support, especially if theyre in Australia too, I can share my experiences.

Wishing the best for all you guys, thanks for all the support, may we all heal and put this behind us.

Thanks a lot Sonic. It is quite difficult to fathom that this disease is over.

In the past, I always carried my peyronies with me somewhere in my mind. Even when I had happy times in my life, I never could feel complete.

So yes, it's an amazing feeling and I am very grateful. Just remember, if your condition doesn't improve, you have this option too. There's always hope!

Day 3:

Discharged from hospital, pain is still there but it is bearable with the medications they give.

Getting from the hospital to the hotel, the nurses suggested wearing two underwears and tight pants to tuck the penis upwards towards the abdomen, I did this okay, although with a lot of pain. It seems crazy how in contrast, with a peyronies erection, you would not want to bend it in any way, I wouldn't even consider bending a normal erection. I felt every bump on the 40m drive lol.

I took the bandages off to shower, you can see my shaft is very swollen, I can't see any of the dents, I'm not sure if that's because they are filled, or if it's because I'm swollen.

The Dr is going to keep me inflatednlike this for maybe 7-10days then he might deflate it a bit so I can get on a plane (I'm interstate) and then start cycling. He put either a 25cm or 26cm Titan, I will confirm with him on our appt. next week. I am also now fully circumsized.

I have been advised to keep the implant upwards, I currently sleep with it pointing straight to the ceiling. They did recommend to push it towards the abdomen, but this is quite painful. Can anyone confirm if this is a better approach?

Question for other implanted guys, did the implant initially affect your urine stream? I just stopped peeing in a bottle and my stream is crazy, its point in multiple directions, up, down, left, backwards. The doctor also performed a cystocopy to look down the urethra, could this be the reason?

Guys,

I'm peeing and the stream is going backwards spraying into the gauze that my penis is wrapped in.

I do have super glued water proof stitches, I am showering every time I pee, and changing the gauze.

The nurse says that pee is sterile and a little bit on the gauze will be okay. Can anyone confirm this? Or tell me if showering multiple times is not a good idea?

My scrotum is now burning as well, is this a cause for concern?

I don't think so. Everything on the pic looks really good. It's natural to burn and have discomfort after surgery, I think the discomfort and pain will be doubled for you versus someone who just did an implant due to the fact that you had a circumcision as well. That in itself is a rather painful and very discomforting procedure.

Can already see a massive difference in your penis. 6 months to a year of inflating and I think you will be very happy with the results.

Btw I have seen a few vids on youtube of Dr. Chris. Love in the past. Surgeon who definitely knows what he's doing. Very good that he opted for a titan versus let's say an AMS 700 or LGX as titan has been proven to both straighten out and fill out narrowing better.

Onwards and upwards for you from here. Once this whole period of recovery is over and you start cycling and maybe in a year reached the max size you will be super pleased.

Thanks a lot man, that's exactly right, don't let your peyronies get you too down, always know that, an implant is an option. This is how I learnt to cope when I stopped seeing results from VED and traction.

Day 4:

In the hotel room, peeing in a bottle, there is quite a bit of pain and discomfort still. I am mostly just resting in bed, reading books, listening to music.

As you can see, there is still quite a bit of swelling.

Can anyone confirm, is it okay to keep the penis in this position? Should I be pulling it up towards the abdomen ? The nurses said, ideally, pulling it to the abdomen is best, but it is just too painful and uncomfortable to do so at the moment. I am worried in this position it wil heal abnormally or take abnormal shape.

Hi guys,

I was implanted on the 7th, I just unwrapped my gauze to replace it and noticed that it is yellow, my penis seems to be discharging this yellow fluid.

I have messaged the nurse, just waiting for a response.

Can anyone confirm if this has happened to them ? Is this a sign of infection?

Thank you,

I know it is painful to keep your penis in the upright position, but this is important so that your penis will heal and maintain a good angle. If it hurts, take the medications you were prescribed. You have a way to go. When you start inflating the pain may increase quite a bit. Sadly no pain, no gain. Pain is a part of the process.

Day 7:

Not much to update, I probably won't update again until I see the Doctor in 2 days.

As you can see, still very swollen.

I am laying down and keeping the penis in the upright position as shown in the pic, can anyone advise if this is the recommended position? It is quite painful to keep it in this position, but this is what the nurse/doc recommended. There is a lot of pain/strain at the base.

Regrets? None. Prior to this, I could not have a functional penis or a sex life. I accept that, now, I will have a functional penis and sex life. The pain is there, but with medication, it is bearable. If I had waited longer, the disease would most likely have continued to progress. Further, even without peyroneis/ED, as old age comes, so does ED, and as men get older, their penis usually becomes smaller/thinner due to fibrosis and lack of blood flow. So, I see this whole procedure as an inevitable enhancement to have at my age (34).

Size: It is really too early to measure, I am partially inflated and probably 4.75/5 inches. Pre-op I was 6.5, pre Peyronies I was probably 7-7.5 inches. The doctor did confidently say to me, 'you should get an extra cm from the TEP procedure'. I never measured girth, but I was quite girthy pre-peyronies, pre-op, I had lost a lot of girth due to narrowing/dents. I do believe the TEP procedure does provide extra girth. Time will tell.

As you can see in the second pic, the penis looks natural, even at partial inflation, although it is quite swollen. I am eager to see the end result.

I'm getting a bit restless with nothing to do, laying in one position, peeing in a bottle. The circumsision area is quite sore as well. Have read just about every journal on here, and I am so proud of all the members who took this journey and overcome this disease.

Will update again after I see my Doctor in 2 days.

Hey jj21, i know i don't have an implant but from all the diaries i have read as well as the literature, there seems to be both doctors that recommend you keep the penis pointing up as well as others that say it does not matter, later on for the erection angle.

Even on some of the diaries that i have read here, (if i am not mistaken) not all members kept their penis up on the first days and the outcome on nearly all of them has been good.

 

jj21


Thanks pfract, by pointing up, do they mean (if laying on a bed on your back), pointing up towards the ceiling, or pointing up towards your abdomen (as I am in my pic).

I was advised by my doc/nurse to point it up towards the abdomen, however, this is proving to be quite painful.

Thanks,
J

I had no idea there was a mesh procedure. That does sound like something that may work for me.

Gratz on getting the procedure done and being free of this disease. I am looking forward to getting an implant as well. I live in Texas and had an appointment with Dr. Clavell. He is awesome in his explanation of everything and asked all the right questions before I could do so. Only thing I am running into is the money piece since he is out of network with my employers insurance, Aetna.

Congrats jj21 you done it, good job and i admire your bravery too and hope for great healing and a good outcome. Because bravery is what this takes. Who knows, maybe one day i will have to go this way too, and maybe and hopefully be happy witht the results too.

I read your other posts (diary/journey). Was flaccid pain / discomfort still a thing for you shortly prior to the surgery now? I would like to know if the implant can help with this. We should be able to tell in a few weeks or months. Wishing you great recovery

Gratz on getting the procedure done and being free of this disease. I am looking forward to getting an implant as well. I live in Texas and had an appointment with Dr. Clavell. He is awesome in his explanation of everything and asked all the right questions before I could do so. Only thing I am running into is the money piece since he is out of network with my employers insurance, Aetna.

Thanks a lot, with the mesh, I believe, sometimes they insert a mesh, sometimes they don't. With mine, the doc left the incisions in the tunica to heal and inserted only the implant. He did confidently say that, I should receive an extra 1cm in length. They can cut horizontally and vertically, one resulting in girth, the other in length. I had major narrowing, dents, but minor loss of length (about half inch to an inch), so a Titan + TEP was the best option.

I think Dr Clavell does offer the TEP procedure as well, not too sure.

I'll update this regularly so you know how it works out.

All the best,

Quote from: orriw on February 13, 2023, 06:17:48 PMCongrats jj21 you done it, good job and i admire your bravery too and hope for great healing and a good outcome. Because bravery is what this takes. Who knows, maybe one day i will have to go this way too, and maybe and hopefully be happy witht the results too.

I read your other posts (diary/journey). Was flaccid pain / discomfort still a thing for you shortly prior to the surgery now? I would like to know if the implant can help with this. We should be able to tell in a few weeks or months. Wishing you great recovery

Thanks a lot my friend, yes, if you get down about peyronies or feel depressed, always remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel, an implant could be a good solution and may restore lost length/girth.

To answer your question, flaccid pain was still prevalent prior to my surgery. I have been advised by my Dr as well as other (including Dr Eid), that usually, peyronies pain disappears after an implant.

I will definitely update and let you know more in a few weeks, at the moment there is significant pain, but a lot may be due to the TEP procedure as well.

All the best,

I have to say, one of the cool things about implants is the drastic immediate improvement. JJ has not even began his process of cycling or gotten his final results yet and I can already see such a big improvement on his pics. I know you are swollen atm but curvature and dents seem completely gone already.

Day 9 Update:

Just visited my Doctor and nurse, everything is good, no sign of infection, major swelling but expected to go down in a week. Have been prescribed more pain killers.

Now I would really like the advice of implanted members on this:

I asked my Doctor what size he gave me, and he said it was a 22cm Titan + 2.5cm RTTEs. I asked him why he didn't use the 24cm Titan and 0.5cm RTE as he said himself he prefers to use less RTEs. He said that, with the 24cm Titan, it would have caused complications for him putting in the pump? He told me that the RTEs are well placed in the rear, and that I would not feel them.

I was a bit disappointed as, from everything I have researched, the less RTEs the better. Can anyone please advise on whether, using a 24cm Titan with 0.5cm RTE may have been better, or if having 2.5cm RTEs will cause any complications (dog ears, axial rigidity etc).

Thank you,
