When to pull the trigger

[MRowdy]

I had two xiaflex procedures back to back in November and December last year.  The second was rough and the recovery was and remains long lasting.  Prior to these, I had good to great erectile function especially with sildenafil. Now, it's not good. It works but not great and I don't feel like it's improving.  I've tried sildenafil, daily tadalafil, both together, Trimix gel (not the injectable), PT141 and no great breakthroughs. I do not wake with morning erections, occasionally slightly. VED doesn't work like it used to.

The doctor I used for the Xiaflex says it can take a long time to heal all the way and it could continue to improve for years. How long do I wait? Has anyone here had to wait a year plus to get erections back after xiaflex?

 I feel like I traded my curvature for ED. I'm straighter for sure but I lost length and girth and erectile function. Daily Restorex use has been helping to get some length back.

I've consulted with Clavell and researched some of the other high volume implant surgeons including Hakky, Eid, Lentz. The idea of resuming a normal sex life with improved erectile function is great. I'm a bit nervous about another intense and very painful recovery post procedure and feel wary of having hope and being disappointed like my Xiaflex experience.

I've read a lot of great accounts on here of successful implant surgeries which is encouraging.  It also seems many men have experienced failed pumps, etc and several revised surgeries. Obviously, there are no guarantees.

Has anyone worked with Dr. Clavell?

It's an individual decision. Everyone knows when they have reached the point. I think it's kinda like this, once you know you know, there will be absolutely no hesitancy regarding the decision to get implanted on.

Clavell is a very experienced and good implant surgeon, as is Hakky, Eid etc. If you have the money to do the procedure, I would say don't waste any time, Hakky, Eid, or Clavell, either of those would be great.

They have saved the sex lives of countless of men.
