Hey Iwill

Glad all is going so well.
I still think that about my penis.
I look at it and think, that's not my penis, although I lost length from a previous surgery, my girth has never been bigger.
So yes, I understand your excitement.
Congratulations and it's so wonderful to hear how you are doing.
....and yes, it is a marathon, but I must say I have not seen anyone run the marathon as fast as you.

Day 22:

Everything still going great!

The after pain from cycling seems to be significantly less now. Of course I feel stretching and pain when cycling, but after it's immediate relief. Unlike before where I had significant pain and soreness after.

I've been cycling twice a day for 45-50 minutes, so hoping my length/girth gains start coming along quicker. My girth seems to be almost identical or greater to what it was pre surgery. Length seems maybe an inch shorter. I'm not worried about that and I'm confident with time I'll get that back. Post op I was measured at the exact same length so I think that's proof. I've also been cycling since day 3 so I got a good start.

I sent Hakky a photo of my incision site just to confirm everything looked normal, and he said it looked great. I'm really starting to feel more like myself now. The sexual urge is 100% there. Where as before it wasn't at all because I was always in so much pain lol. I can't wait to try this thing but will definitely wait until I'm all clear to do so. Minimum 6 weeks though. Really not complaining about waiting as the longer I wait the more length I'll have back.

Lastly, I know I said this before. But after trying multiple briefs, the tommy john ones are amazing. Perfect fit so my sack feels 100% secure. Amazing quality and they also look great. The hole in the front where your dick goes in. The way they make it- it positions your dick up. I like having this option incase I don't want my dick over my leg. Perhaps in some situations where I'm in setting where someone could potentially feel it. While I never wore my dick up 24/7 like some,  I did constantly change angles with the exception of down. My hope here was to form creases all around the base so it would easily go every way. My erection angle appears identical to pre op which is about 3 o'clock.

Will report again tom!

Day 23:

Can't believe it's only been 23 days. I feel amazing and pretty much back to normal. Almost no pain during the day. Only when cycling and that's manageable. No after pain like I used to have before.

I'm walking 30-45 minutes a day and doing very very light gym workouts and have no reservoir pain or swelling. I'm making it a point to breathe slow and controlled each movement so I'm not straining at all. Point is to get blood flowing and not to make any actual gains. Same with the walking, exercise plays a significant role in how efficiently your body operates. The healthier your body, the faster the healing and repair. Because of this, my diet has been 100% strict throughout recovery. Not a single cheat meal. Nothing but organic vegetables and quality organic meats. Of all the times I wanted to make sure my body was functioning at max capacity and had everything it needs, it was now. No idea how much this impacted my recovery, but I can only imagine it helped.

Cycling still going great. Minimum 45 minutes twice a day to max inflation, gradually adding pumps as I can along the way. Any potential kinks seem to have been worked out and my dick looks better than it ever has erect. Truly a miracle it could be such a change after my pre op deformity.

The temptation to masturbate is pretty strong now. I've been playing around some while fully erect to try to align my mind with my new dick. Also figured it would be good to get some blood flowing to simulate a natural erection. I have full sensitivity so finishing will not be a problem even when fully erect, I could have already but chose not to.

For briefs, I had to throw my separatec ones away. For people with a long dick, they're worthless. But to have a thick, semi stiff and 7 inch flacid, it doesn't work. Also tried some hanes with ball support. Those were ok but quality not as good as the Tommy John's. So I ordered more Tommy John's as they'll prob be my go to brand when I'll be out walking around doing stuff. While at home, I prefer a looser fit so things can hang.

I've had no issues with my dick showing while going out. Even wearing tighter fitting jeans. I can just push it to the side and it's fine. I will say, you HAVE to be completely deflated for this to work. And I will say again, I think this is why alot of people complain about their dick showing. If you don't max deflate you're going to look semi hard.

Incision is looking good. I feel like it's in the final stage of complete closure. It's closed of course, but you know your body has to do its thing to completely seal all layers of skin inside out. Maybe another week until completely closed but looking better everyday. Although, it sounds like I'll have to wait 6 weeks to have stitches removed either way. Completely fine by me as I'd rather be safe.

I know y'all are prob tired of hearing this but, SUPER happy with everything and very thankful/grateful. I have my next appointment with Hakky in a couple weeks, and I imagine that will be the appointment where he basically clears me to have sex. As time goes on and I feel better and better, the more I think I'll try to have sex at 6-8 weeks. I was going to wait, but honestly I might feel completely ready by then- we will see. Not rushing it though.

I forgot to mention I used Tommy Hilfiger low rise briefs to secure my equipment. They are made of cotton and what I liked about them was I could place my penis to the right or left and my pump and balls were supported down below.

Day 24:

Not much to report today. Everything is still going great. Really pushing the cycling now to get max inflation, adding pumps every 15 minutes. Even though I hate the stretching pain, I also love it because it means I'm growing.

I'll do some measurements maybe at 2 months post op. But at this rate I feel confident I'll be back to pre op size by month 3. And then hopefully gain a little girth over the next year. Wishful thinking 🙂

I might start reporting less here just because there will be less updates now. But will still be logging on here periodically to update my journal.

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas!

This is day 29, but we might as well just call it my one month update.

I decided to go ahead and put a one month post op pic erect for my own record keeping. I'm about 7.7 inches in length right now. You'll see in the photo my girth is significantly more in the top half than pre surgery. Due to the massive deformity pre op I didn't even bother measuring girth. I'll put a pre Peyronies link here as well so you can compare pre pre Peyronies to post op.

https://ibb.co/7k4jrVH  -pre Peyronies
https://ibb.co/qRhMYwq  -right before surgery

Most importantly of all, my dick is perfectly straight and STABLE. I can say this is the best my dick has ever looked, even pre Peyronies.

Cycling is going well, but HURTS! Most often I do 45-50 minutes twice a day. I initially get 10-15 pumps in before it's maxed. I wait 5-10 minutes and then I can get another 5. Wait another 15, another few, so on and so forth. I cringe when it's time to add more pumps because I know the pain it's about to bring lol. The pain is equally distributed between my dick and the perineum area. THANKFULLY...all of this pain goes away immediately upon deflation.

Incision site looks almost fully healed. Almost all swelling is gone. I have noticed the side where the tubing and reservoir are, it's maybe 10% more puffy around that area but probably just my body adjusting to the tubing. I'd imagine your body makes adjustments to accommodate the tubing.

I want to comment on my reservoir since that was previously a big concern for me. I'm not sure if I've just put on a little body fat since my surgery, or if my body has adapted and formed a capsule over the reservoir, but now I can't see it protruding like before. Before it was very mild anyway and looked just like a marble size bump, now it's just flat. So that's great news!

I'm still trying to figure out what works and what doesn't when trying to manage my 7 inch flacid dick. I can tuck it left or right, but found sometimes either the dog ears cause some minor pain. I can wear it down but off to one side or the other, but then you see my dick in my actual thigh area as it hangs down. I've been exploring the option of wearing it up with Tommy John's. This seems like the most "concealed" option where it's nearly impossible for someone to feel it. However, once again, because my flacid is 7 inch it acfually comes up into my waist band area and the head pops out. Im doing some trial and error to see what works for me and what doesn't as I go to the gym. I also dance often and I am often times very close with my partner where they could feel my thigh on their thigh. I absolutely can't have people feeling my dick dancing and be known as the pervert lol. I've concluded the best options will be to wear it hard left-since that thigh is always angled out dancing meaning they won't feel it. Or, I'll try wearing it up also to see how that goes. Not worried but do need to find what positions work best for the gym and dancing.

I really have no pain when not cycling. Ive slowly upped my intensity at the gym. From maybe 10% intensity to 30%. Going slow and evaluating everyday, haven't had any pain at all at the reservoir site and no swelling. I'll continue to go up maybe 10% a week until I'm close to 100% by 2 months post op.

Overall, very very happy! This is for sure my own Christmas present to myself. Honestly I never thought I'd be feeling this good at one month post op, but things greatly improved for me after about week 3. If you're reading this and getting an implant, it's 100% true you will have good and bad days along the way. I was back and forth until about week 3. Tons of ups/downs and worries along the way, all of which are irrelevant now.

My only concern at this point is getting the rest of my size back. And I'm confident that's going to be there by 3 months.

Things are looking real good and even the recovery seems to go very well, seems like you are recovering faster than most, although patients from Hakky usually have a smooth recovery overall.

Iwill,

You continue to be a stellar patient and it seems your dick is fully cooperating.
You have been so fortunate to get your implant before getting any other type of penis surgeries, as I did. Ouch, but I didn't know that implants existed 6 years ago.
Your dick looks great and congratulations on all your achievements.
Best wishes and thanks for sharing, as your posts will certainly help others that have similar problems.

29 days post op (4 weeks and 1 day):


Yesterday was an interesting day full of anxiety lol, and I'm not an anxious person. Just lots of first times with an implant you could say. For one, I went dancing where I was very close to my partner, so that was the test to see how discreet I could be hiding my 7 inch flacid and making it so it can't be felt body to body while dancing. Happy to report it was a success, but I was a little on edge the whole time as I was testing things lol. One box checked in my mind. Now I know I can hide my dick in the closest of situations. I just moved my dick hard left in right compression briefs. While dancing the girl is always on my right so I was strategic in that sense. The second test was I had a girl over last night, we didn't do anything but my flacid was well concealed. She did reach to feel my dick through my pants and then felt it obviously but it of course feels like a normal dick flacid. Just semi hard.

Lastly, after she left I broke down and finally masturbated. Happy to report everything was normal works just like it did pre surgery, that was a relief.

Many first times yesterday which is always a little stressful but glad that's done and it's just one more step of my journey I have passed. Getting easier and easier by the day!

Its interesting how us guys have little filing cabinets in our minds that separate our daily tasks and problems. Have you always been a briefs guy? I'm curious now why don't you just let it hang loose with boxers? :)

I think you were asking Iwill, lol,
But I have mostly been a briefs guy.
My cock was 8, now a little over 7, but boxers would always cause my cock to get into uncomfortable positions hanging down my leg or just moving around so much I would get a semi. This would go on all day. Also boxers allow my cock to fall too much and it creates too much bulge.
It will be interesting what Iwill says

Hey guys-

Previously I wore briefs (not super tight ones) because my flacid dick would be uncomfortable running or training at the gym. Post surgery, I prefer compression briefs training or being out, and when I'm at home I like to let things just hang. It's more comfortable that way so my dick can breath lol

Hello everyone! Happy New Years Eve!

Post op day 33:

Well, this morning I freaked out cycling. I was on pump 20 probably, and I felt a pop in my shaft. I also felt some mild pain. Everything seemed and looked normal after I felt the small pop, other than that I had a some minor pain mid shaft (Maybe 3/10). The place I felt the pain and pop, is exactly where my scar tissue was located from Peyronies. Dorsal side mid shaft. Because of this, I relaxed and assumed it was just the scar tissue breaking up or something. As far as the implant goes, everything still worked like normal after, so I can only assume all is ok. Of course after I was staring at my dick to see if it looked different after POTENTIALLY having plaque break up. Maybe it's in my head but it might look a little more filled out on the dorsal side now. Anyway, has this ever happened to anyone? It seems logical to me that the expansion of the cyclinders could break plaque over time from the constant pressure exerted and stretching. Otherwise, I'd have no idea what the popping and minor pain was. I guess the fact that there was minor pain after should indicate it definitley was something in my penis versus the actual device.

Okay update!! I was mid cycling while typing that...just added two more pumps...nothing happened...added another 2 pumps and felt another small pop in the same location. 100% confirmed now that's where the pop came from. No additional pain, or swelling just the normal stretching pain from cycling. If anything, I was feeling less perineum pain during this cycling sessions. I don't know if it's from thinking so much about my shaft and the popping, or if somehow that did something in my shaft, and allowing that to expand took pressure off the rear tips and created more pressure in my shaft? At one point I actually felt pressure in my glans which also hasn't been the norm.

Can anyone confirm if this has happened to them if you had plaque from Peyronies?

If my suspicion is correct, this would be a great and positive thing as it means I can now stretch more and the implant is doing its job.

I do not have any experience with this but I know for a fact when Dr. Trost does his xiaflex protocol he pulls on the patients penis and in many cases a loud pop is heard and Dr Trost describes this as ''plaque breaking apart''

So it could very well be what you are suspecting.

Likewise, I can only speculate, and my speculation was just like yours,Either your aggressive sizing made a dogleg that had never filled out during inflation, and you finally stretched just enough under pressure to finally fill it out OR, you actually felt some scar tissue break loose.  I would consider either of those positive, but it is not common for either of those to be so dramatic to cause a "pop."  If scar tissue broke or ripped, I do not see how it would not cause capillary bleeding and some bruising.  Also, like you, it occurred to me that if you gained more expansion room in your shaft, it would relieve some pressure in your perineum.  Even though either of these would be a little unusual, something happened in an area where there are no connections or moving parts.

My only other speculation is that a cylinder is twisted, and as it filled, it suddenly snapped straight.

I got some more time to evaluate as the day went on, and during my second cycling session. Some hours after that AM cycling session I noticed some very slight soreness in my shaft where I heard the pop. It 100% had to be my penis, and most likely scar tissue as that same area is now sore upon my PM cycling. Not unbearable, but certainly sore.

To add to your point about bruising, we will see tomorrow, but as of now it looks 98% normal, with a VERY SLIGHT light purple on that area of my shaft. Could just be my mind but I swear it looked a little darker in that area after it happened. But certainly no drastic bruising or anything. We will see in the AM. But I can say with 100% certainty my shaft is sore in the area of the pop.

I text dr Hakky and he sounded confident it was plaque breaking up with what I described. Crazy. I do remember in my 7 day post op he talked about the plaque and was bending my dick in attempt to get it to break. Then proceeded to tell me to bend it (like perito exercises) while cycling to try to reshape or break up the plaque. Can't remember his exact words but something like that. I def took the cycling slower tonight and gradually added one pump at a time, then sat back and evaluated. Oddly enough. I am now feeling more pressure in my shaft and glans, and very little pressure in my perineum area.

This is exhibit A for why there's sometime no rule book for implants. Very odd and unexpected situation, but I guess you could say I'm glad this happened as it means I can fully expand.

This is also why the more plaque and damage done to your penis over time from Peyronies/injections etc, the more you will potentially have to deal with this. If you saw my dick pre op, this story will make a lot of sense. I had severe narrowing.

I can tell my dick is becoming more symmetrical and straight everyday. I'd say it's 95% already. It's insane to me to look at this perfectly straight and thick cock, and think it's mine. After living with a curved dick most of my life, and then a massively deformed dick after Peyronies Disease. Implants really are a miracle.

Day 34 update:

Cycled again the AM and the perineum pain is now down to a 2/10. This happened immediately following the pop in my penis (suspected plaque breaking up). To show the significance in, perineum pain was previously a 8/10 when cycling. I actually felt very little pain in my shaft or glans. Immediately after the pop yesterday it seems it immediately reversed. A lot more shaft, glans pain when cycling, minimal to no perineum pain. Very interesting. Also, my penis does look thicker now on the dorsal side. I'm 99% sure it was the break up of plaque which allowed my tunica to expand more.

The most interesting part about this is. I wonder if the plaque was quite literally like a road block to my dick expanding. Like if it couldn't expand out, it was just stuck until the plaque ultimately broke. Who knows but I am happy this happened! Will be very interesting to see length and girth gains in the coming weeks now.

Lastly, I know some doctors have you wait up to a month before you cycle. I know everyone has their protocols, but I can't image starting from the bottom right now being a month out. I feel like I've already made so much progress in the last month. Just one thing to consider for those getting an implant. I have to say, it makes a lot more sense to me to choose a surgeon with a protocol to get you pumping sooner than later. For the sake of your reservoir capsule and the expansion of your dick(ESPECIALLY, if you had significant plaque or narrowing like I did). I'd personally rather start stretching that out sooner than later before things settle too much or scar over.

Just my non-medical opinion on the matter.

Everything else is still going great! Back to life as usual now.

Sounds awesome! I just sent a message to my surgeon asking about how the plaque might affect the cycling and vice versa. I'll post his response when I get it.

Day 35:

Hey all-

I probably won't post daily after this until I feel I have a real update. But I do want to share that cycling continues to be way easier now. After that pop, the pain felt cycling is child's play compared to what I experienced before. Before it was excruciating and felt tons of pain in my perineum. Now, mostly just shaft pain, which I love because I know that's the area it's stretching. Also, the pain is completely manageable where I can multi task while cycling. Can easily go the full hour at 100% inflation while adding pumps every 10 min. Maybe I'm crazy here but my dick feels noticeably longer and thicker after that pop.

In my unprofessional opinion. That plaque was preventing my shaft from fully expanding length or girth wise. And they're putting more pressure on the rear of the cyclinder as a result. After the pop, it allowed cyclinders to expand in my dick, thus reducing the perineum pain.

Just my two cents if I had to guess.

Feeling amazing now though. I think I mentioned I'm a fitness athlete, so my physique is everything to me. At 5 weeks I'm almost back to where I was pre op. I started SLOW doing 5 lbs. I just want to stress that so people don't read this and assume it's ok to go all out on week 4-5. That would be a mistake. I am upping the intensity slowly in the gym and by 6 weeks I should be at about 90% intensity while being careful to avoid risky exercises. Things like squats or deadlifts I won't start back until maybe month 3. I'd rather be safe than sorry. I definitely feel good enough to have sex now, but also not in a rush for that and will proceed when Hakky gives the green light. I have my follow up with him soon so we will see what he says 5 weeks post op.

Official 6 week update!

Well guys, the day is here. 6 weeks! I feel 100% back to normal now. Doing everything I was before surgery now. I guess you could say the new and improved version since I now have a perfectly straight and functional dick. My whole life I dealt with a congenital curve so my dick now officially looks better than it ever has in my life, which is amazing. I'm almost the same size as I was pre op already. I have significantly more girth on the top half of my shaft. All narrowing, dents, and kinks have been worked out from cycling. I did a 6 week length measurement and I am already at 8.1 inches. Pre surgery I fluctuated between 8.25 and 8.5. So you could say length is almost fully regained.

I cycle to max inflation twice a day most days for an hour each time. Minor pain but very tolerable now. I did another experiment recently. As you read in my previous post I masturbated with no issues. Full sensitivity was there and it felt great. Felt normal just like before. However, this was with a semi hard with only a few pumps. The real test was attempting it when I was max inflated, to mimic sex, and I am happy to report I had no problem reaching orgasm even max inflated at 6 weeks.

Incision site looks great and closed up. Zero swelling and there is no sign that I have an implant. Pump is hidden perfectly behind my testicles so you'd have to actually grab them to feel it. Unfortunately have to wait till my appointment next week to remove stitches with Hakky. I am dying to try my new dick out but will patiently wait for Hakky to give the green light.

You may recall me mentioning a small bump at the reservoir site. Somehow that is gone and not noticeable now. I seem to be at about the same body fat percentage, so I can only assume somehow the capsule or my body formed something over the top of it and that smoothed out the bump? No idea but obviously happy about that.

Honestly couldn't be happier with the outcome of my surgery. Not going to lie, in retrospect, the first couple weeks were pretty rough lol. And this is coming from some very active. If you're getting this surgery just prepare yourself to know the first 2-3 weeks are going to SUCK. After about week 3 for me, things got significantly better and my recovery progressed quickly. I know 100% I made the right decision. I tried all natural methods but did not see improvement, only saw worsening of my condition over 12 months. Thankful I did the implant when I did to stop Peyronies in its tracks, while completely resolving my hourglass and narrowing. Now on to living my life. I'll keep you all updated periodically along the way and always here to help if anyone has questions.

Very minor pain at that site for 1-2 days after that pop while cycling, after that completely normal.

Hey everyone!

It's been a while! I'm 2 months and 2 days post op. Removed my own stitches virtually with my dr on stand by a week ago. All went smoothly and the incision site is fully healed. Just applying neosporin on it daily now. My length has fully returned and I have more girth than pre surgery. Dick is completely straight for the first time ever. I just cycle once a day for an hour. More concerned with extending implant life given I already have good size.

For the first time today I tried using a flashlight instead of my hand. The idea was to simulate sex, and I have to say, it was 100 times better not having to think about my dick breaking off. Also thinking about staying hard is a non issue. You just enjoy. Being able to put pressure on it due to the rigidity is nice, since before even a small amount of pressure would cause hinging.

It's safe to say I'm officially ready to have sex. I suspect it will go great. I don't have pain even at max inflation and zero issues with sensitivity or reaching orgasm like before.

Only thing for me is getting good at hiding it. I won't be discussing it with my partner so I plan to pre pump about 8 times when I think sex could happen. With natural engorgement that's easily hard enough for sex, but soft enough that I can still move it to the side in my pants. I'm sure with time I'll become the master of sneaking in a few more pumps here and there lol.

Posting an updated photo of pre surgery and then two months post op. Whats crazy to think is, if I've regained my size already, I can't imagine at a year if I gain a little more. Very a happy with the surgery, my doctor, and being back to a normal life!

So happy for you, Dr Hakky really is a great surgeon. Wish we had him in Australia.

You can finally put all this behind you, and move on with your life.

Consider doing Perito exercises while cycling (if you're still cycling), I've read of people on FT gaining half an inch above their pre-peyronies length. Never know.

I am curious and would like a little more info on your statement.  
Do you mean you did the physical removal while the doctor stood by you and instructed you (what would be the point of that?)

He was on FaceTime in case I had any questions while I removed them basically. Fortunately, all went smoothly. But it was nice knowing he was there in case anything weird happened.

Update:

Measured yesterday and I'm at 8.3 inches length, girth is similar at bottom half as pre Peyronies, top half is greater girth than pre surgery.

Still haven't tried sex yet. Perfectly comfortable doing so just haven't had time to go on any dates lol. I will report back when I do though.

On a side note, when looking for a video the other day I came across a video of my pre surgery dick. I was shocked. I think I can gotten so accustomed to it I didn't even notice. Now having a straight dick for so long it's weird to think it used to be anything but that.

Iwillbeathis,

You should post the video. Were you or are you a porn star?

I'm guessing Iwill wasn't a porn star before, but it's time to float the resume! A giant permanent erection is perfect for the genre.

Awesome results! 8.3 WOW. You are the envy in the locker room and now bedroom. Yes there are a lot of porn stars who have implants. It has been confirmed that Ramon Nomar has one. It's just that once you make that first video it will be something you can not take back.  :D

Hey guys! I'm not a porn star lol. A normal dude but with a lot of options. Despite that, my goal isn't to go around just hooking up-mostly due to my faith. Otherwise I would have used my new dick about 100 times by now lol.

Still haven't used it almost 4 months out, by choice. Just been so busy with work and the dates I've been on, I didn't feel a good connection with them so left it at that.

However, my dick really feels like my own now and 100% confident I can use it like normal now. I do a lot of the Perrito exercises to make sure it's imitating sex. And of course still cycling once a day for 1-2 hours. More focused on extending my implant life versus gaining an extra half inch, since size is not an issue for me.

You all will be the first to know when I do have sex though lol

I think both decisions are a wise choice.

Hey guys! Long time!

I'm not sure how far out I am from surgery now, but probably about 4-5 months. I think last time I posted I said life was fully back to normal, and that is still true. I'm at a point where I really don't even think about my implant and I'm doing all the same things I did before Peyronies Disease.

Most important update first, I HAD SEX!

The first three months post op I just wanted to feel comfortable with my penis before I decided to try to jump into a sexual encounter. I've had many opportunities leading up to tonight but just didn't take them as I'm going through some major life changes right now with a new job, building a home, etc. Quite literally just didn't have time to date. But I met a girl recently and we went out tonight then back to her place after. Happy to report that sex was easy and as good, if not better than before. Given this was my first time using my implant-I think that says a lot. My initial plan was to go to the bathroom to pump up after we started kissing. However, while going down on her I decided to give pumping with one hand a try (which I practiced in advance), and was easily able to pump up within about 20 second discreetly. She had no idea. After this, it was pretty much the usual sex I would have had before Peyronies Disease. Zero pain, 100% enjoyable.

This is what I would say was different:

1. Normally when I'd go to have sex, I always worried I'd lose my erection, even before Peyronies Disease. I'd worry that when I put my condom on my dick would go soft. And then while it was soft, I'd be thinking so much about getting hard that now I can't get hard lol. I was successful 99% of the time, but always feared that 1% where I was overthinking for whatever reason. THIS TIME, I had complete confidence putting the condom, no rush...my erection wasn't going anywhere. I remember looking her in the eyes while putting it on while joking with her. I took my time and had more confidence than ever. This alone, knowing that you can have sex 100% of the time without fail, and never thinking about not being hard enough- it makes it all worth it.

2. For the first time in a LONG time I could have her on top and not even think twice. No worrying about my dick snapping in half. How satisfying...it was great.

When sex was over I just went to the bathroom, deflated, and mission accomplished.


Now for the more boring updates. My dick may have gotten slightly bigger from the cycling, I'm not sure I haven't measured and don't care to. It was big before and it's big now, so I'm not worried about an extra 1/4 inch. My dick is straight with no dents. I cycle one time a day for an hour as I did most of recovery. Again, the reason why is so I can maximize implant life. Perhaps if I was worried about gaining length I'd try to cycle twice a day and use a VED. Just doesn't make sense for me given my size.

I wear boxers all the time unless I'm running. I like to let my dick hang. I also still wear all of the same pants I wore before, and most work without showing my dick. But honestly even if someone does see my dick I don't care.

I will say my dick has started to hang much more natural than before. Dog ears are still present but obviously go away with pumping.

So happy with the outcome! Life is good!

What an awesome report! Thank you for sharing. It was interesting to read your idea of inflating while performing oral sex on her. Maybe other members struggling with "how to inflate discretly" will find this beneficial!

I whish you nothing but lot's of smiles with your implant and renewed sex life. Stay safe!
