People who had degloving procedure (for any type of penile surgery, peyronie, cpc or something else) and already circumcised, did your doctor cut exactly from your previous circumcision line? My new scar is little bit higher than previous one and it bothers me.

Thanks for the responses I did get which were for the most part encouraging. I have seen my Urologist who did confirm one small spot of scar tissue with his hand. I showed him the picture of my one dent that does not seem to go all the way around my penis. This started to the best of my knowledge early February 2024. From what I can see it has not gotten worse (yet). I have strong erections all night long, zero pain and except for seeing and feeling the dent.. everything else seems normal. I cannot figure out how to post a pic or I would .. lol. I guess I will remain positive, have. Started Verapamil cream twice a day, Vitamin E orally and topically and ordered some L-Arginine too

I tried pelvic floor therapy, Cialis, 2 dopplars, worked with a whollistic nurse, lost 30 pounds, tried homeopathic remedies (a blend of a bunch of vitamins I took at simultaneously which I can't remember the sort.) And I find the greatest remedy in my case was abstinence and good diet, rest and relaxation, and plenty of walking and sunshine!

Quote from: Hawk on May 01, 2024, 03:57:04 PMAs stated, the risk of infection (Generally 2%) adds up to at least 12% with 6 revisions.  An infection can be a nightmare.

Hello Mr. Hawk, I'd like to ask about the latter statement - an infection being a nightmare.
There's this video of dr. Clavell where he inserts an implant in post-infection patient and the guy gets the same size implant, as he was religiously using VED meanwhile dealing with infection. Also read couple of other cases where post infection guys were able to regain what they lost due to it, or really close to their baseline.
My question is, is there any worse fate than this possible size loss? I've seen a guy on the other forum who stated he can't be implanted no more due to excessive scar tissue, but this is a single case and apart from this I've never read of another guys running out of revisions....And some had many. I can accept some months of dealing with malleable, but if there's the end of the road where I can't have another IPP installed - indeed that's a nightmare.

I do not believe phimosis (tight foreskin) and ED are related.

Young men are, however, accepted for implants by many high-volume surgeons if they have ED.  If a young man has full erectile function and only Peyronies Disease deformity, there are too many other options.

Congratulations! Great report! 

I have tried to assure men for years that inflating an implant can be done discretely with no trouble.  All it takes is a tiny bit of practice and understanding the process.

There is no doubt that implant size is determined by internal distal and proximal measurements, BUT stretched flaccid BEFORE surgery should be very close to erect length BEFORE surgery.  All that happens during an erection is an internal stretching force applied to the cavernosa.  The length is restricted by the tunica's stretch.  Whether the tunica is stretched by blood, saline, or the tug of traction or the hand, the end result is the same.

Granted, if relaxing cuts are made in the tunica, then it will stretch further, and a post-surgical stretch would be longer. 

The tunica stretch will also gradually get longer from inflation that acts as stretching-traction much like pre-surgical traction with a traction device.
