Title: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on April 06, 2023, 06:53:40 AM
Hey Guys,

I just wanted to share my story. I had been looking forward to seeing doctor Hakky for months but started getting cold feet as sometimes I would have ok erections strong enough for sex, but what bothered me the most was the hourglass and narrowing, which for the first time were appearing while I was hard. 

I knew there was a change to my penis that was reducing function, so I sought help. I first went to my local hospital, which is a very prestigious institute, but I cannot say the same for their urologists. This was my second visit there because I insisted on a doppler for a second opinion on if IPP was right for me. In contrast, to my other dopplers, I did not stay erect and lost my erection mid test. My psv (arterial inflow) had also decreased since my last two dopplers This along with dose escalation with Trimix seemed to point to a worsening of my condition. The urologist was rude and dismissive said I had NO SCAR tissue my numbers were fine and scooted me off telling me other places may experiment on me. Told me I should try reducing my frequency of sex for better erections. I would not recommend Dane johnson. 

I didn't believe the guy at all and went to see Dr. Hakky in Atlanta and his NURSE TECHNICIAN easily pictured scar tissue and diagnosed me with distal peyroines. Doctor Hakky also came in and showed me the images on a huge tv telling me that I also had a bit of scar tissue at the base (likely from injections). I was so happy because for the first time a doctor was actually telling me what was going on. 

Hakky told me I could stick with the pills and injections but the later would cause scar tissue and the former I had been taking very high doses and they worked oK but they never really fully buffed out midshaft which caused a slight hourglass and pain. THe only thing I trusted for sex was the pills. Or Hakky said he could do the implant and give me the keys back to the Ferrari and I could F~@< however I like or I could be careful do only certain positions and must stop if I am not 100% hard he said without the implant I would likely get worse. I told him about my experience at Barnes and he said that some urologists believe in a "cursed" patient which is a guy obsessed with his dick and Dr. Hakky laughed it off and said he didn't believe in that because what guy wouldn't be obsessed with fixing something wrong with his dick he said! I really liked and trusted him. 


Anyway, the day of surgery I arrived, the nurse staff were extremely nice and friendly, and Dr. Hakky and his PA came in and chatted with me. They asked me if I wanted to do a clinical trial of amniotic stem cells to accelerate wound healing of the scrotal approach, and I said yes! I was wheeled into the room, and I started getting extremely anxious, but they gave me some meds, and then I couldn't care less, lol so they proceeded to give me general anesthesia. I woke up after surgery, and Dr. Hakky told me it went really well, and he sent me a video of the end result of my case I didn't watch it until later that evening because I was scared to look at my penis, but I eventually watched it, and I looked about the same size! about 7 inches, Dr. Hakky said.  My girth looked pretty much the same too, but I don't think I can verify that until after the bandages are off. 




One thing that blew me away is I asked Dr. Hakky about my length and girth right after surgery, and I remember him saying my length would increase to around 7.75 inches and my girth was insane." I definitely need to confirm this with him at follow up as I was groggy when we had this conversation, but I think I remember it clearly because I was not expecting to be bigger. Anyway, thats the latest. I'll update after I get the bandages off tomorrow!

Congratulations and thanks for the update.
It sounds like you will have a great outcome.
Remember it takes a while for everything to fall into place.
For example your balls will fight with the pump for a while and you will long for finding a comfortable position for your penis, but stay patient and you will do well and after some time, things will just keep getting better and better and better.
Best wishes, stay calm, stay patient.

Very happy for you and interested in your journey. Please post up your pre-op, pre-peyronies measurements as well, and your current implant and size.

Have only heard great things about Dr Hakky too. If I lived in the U.S, Dr Eid or Hakky or Clavell would have been my first choice.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Yes, it took me 12 hours to have the courage to watch the video lol. However, there was no cutting just showing were everything was at and telling me my length was 7 inches.

I spent 3 days in the mummy wrap and inflated today and I was only 6 inches and thinner as well which is disappointing but from what I understand it comes back?

Should all come back with regular cycling, just be patient, work your way up to doing 2 sessions a day.

Few months should be as good as pre-surgery.

Hey guys,

My dick has shrunk down to 6.25 L and 5.25-5.75 G (depending on where measured). I'm a little bit concerned by these new stats not that they are bad just not what I am used to. Dr. Hakky assured me that in 12 weeks I will have a "huge dick" I guess we will see.

Other news my balls could be used as a bean bag chair and cycling at a week out is a bit painful but tolerable.

Any feedback is appreciated!
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Hawk on April 11, 2023, 10:33:35 PM
I feel your pain.  I started trying to cycle on day three.  It was a pretty feeble attempt on the first day, even for the first few days.

Like you, most of my signs of surgery were with my scrotum.  I had little pain or bruising on my penis.  You will have penile pain when you start to cycle, BUT your scrotum will get quite sore then as well.

It will be as though nothing you are experiencing now will even relate to what you experience in 4 months. You will be able to bend your penis in half and squeegee it.  You will almost be over remembering that you got an implant, yet, your confidence will be like you were given a new brain.

I thought you would probably experience what you just reported.  The swelling is decreasing.  Some of that was blood surrounding the cylinders in the cavernosa, and some of it was fluid between the tunica and the skin.  All I can tell you is "This is a marathon, NOT a sprint" Everything is going to change, and you are going to love it.

Trapper,

Everything sounds about right to me.
It's funny how we always want what we don't have.
I would love to have a big sac of balls, but I was blessed with a big dick instead, LOL.
Speaking of big dicks, LOL, you said you were concerned about your size.
I didn't see a post of your size implant installed. Do you know how many cm you got and did you get any extenders? Could you post this in your signature.
But getting back to dick size, as time progresses, your pumping will stretch your penis into a longer and thicker penis. I am totally impressed with my thickness now. It actually is thicker than what I had before.
Some of us did our cycling in a hot bath initially, as it made finding the pump, etc. easier to find. But whatever works for you. I would also listen to something on the radio, have a beer, watch TV, etc. during the pump period. This would help take my mind off the pain.
But remember, NO PAIN = NO GAIN.
You will eventually get to a point, where you will experience no pain, and you will miss it, as it meant you were growing.
Stay safe and well and thanks for sharing.

Post OP DAY 9- My new flaccid is out of control lol I was on a walk yesterday and saw a woman I found attractive and started chatting with her I swear she looked down at my D twice ;D

Dr. Hakky told me my length would grow to 7.75 inches in 12 weeks which seems unbelievable to me but Idk at 9 days my girth midshaft has increased to 5.9in and about 6.5bpl. I guess we will see in 11 weeks.

Here are the first preop pics! One erect and one flaccid

Yes, with implants we tend to become more show ers, than grow ers, LOL.
Your penis looks thick and long. Congratulations.
My spouse loves my thicker penis since the surgery!
Which brings up the subject, that just as all vaginas look different, so do men's penises.
I can't believe it's only 9 days since your surgery. My penis didn't look that good for several months. You have the advantage of youth on your side which makes healing so much faster.
Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you and your dick.

Hi Trapper,

you wrote "preop". Do you mean those pics are from before the surgery or after it?

Has it become straight or is there still a peyronies curvatur left?
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on April 13, 2023, 05:28:34 PM
Those are POST OP pics. I see what you mean though the area where it used to curve or houglassing in my case was scrapped and now it still feels different than the rest of my shaft but does not curve when hard at all when flaccid sometimes it is straight sometimes it is curved in my non medical opinion it is a weakened portion of my tunica.

Did Dr Hakky perform any length restoration techniques? How are you going 1 inch above your pre peyronies lenth?

Apologies if I am  being ignorant or missed something.

J
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on April 14, 2023, 01:34:41 PM
No, he didn't perform any lengthening at all. He did say in my post surgical I was 7 inches (see video here https://imgur.com/a/WfVFk6J ) and BPL that is about what I got pre-surgery 7in non BPL I was more 6.75. My longest measurement in the VED was 7.5in and in my presurgical consult Dr. Hakky had told me after 12 weeks I would reach where I was in the VED. He also commented that younger patients tissues are more flexible than the average IPP reciepents.

I will keep everyone posted to see if Hakky's prediction comes true.

Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: jj21 on April 17, 2023, 01:59:03 AM
That is pretty amazing if you gain more than your pre-peyronies length. I am hoping to get to my pre-peyronies length but I went through TEP.

Very happy for you, keep us updated!

Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on April 17, 2023, 02:16:54 PM
Thanks man I am hoping it's the case I'm like 6in give or take in length right now and it is weird for me because I was close to 7. hoping it resolves soon. My bigger concern is girth pre Peyronies Disease I was 6in in girth and postop is thinner hard to get a beat on how much so because my girth measurements can vary widely and I only measure midshaft.

Dr. Hakky counseled me on all of this though and he said it would be smaller for 12 weeks so I think I just need to be patient.
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: jj21 on April 17, 2023, 10:04:55 PM
Yeah man, just have to be patient. I have read a lot of journals and 90% percent of people regain their length by 3-4 months. Especially, if they used a high volume surgeon like Dr Hakky.

As for girth, some people with titans have gotten to 6inch girth. So, I think just be patient, cycle, relax. It will all be coming back soon.

Remember, you now have a working erection, on demand, for as long as you like. You're now sexually functional again. Your size will return in a few months, don't stress too much about it.

I was over 7 inches pre-peyronies, with peyronies about 6.5 inches, post surgery around 5.8. Now, with 4 weeks cycling, I am 6.2 inches. I also went through TEP, so I may gain a little quicker, maybe a little extra. Hopefully back to pre-peyronies length. It seems promising considering I may continue to gain for up to a year. 

You can also try VED or the perito exercises, they are suppose to stretch the cylinders and help with regaining size. Just be very cautious. I wouldn't recommend doing anything other than cycling for a few months. Most people have gained back their original size with VED and perito exercises, some people have gained a little extra. If you were aggressively sized, which it seems like you were, you should be able to stretch your penis to its maximum length/girth.

Keep us updated.

Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on April 18, 2023, 12:41:54 PM
Thanks JJ21 wise advice. How necessary are the Perito exercises for gains? I just cant bring myself to bend my dick that way lol.

Also, can anyone comment on the titan getting harder with time? I had some Hourglassing and Dr. Hakky had to scrap my tunica and that area of my shaft doesn't get as hard with the implant. I watched in one of clavell's videos the tunica and IPP work in tandem to create a firm erection. I wonder if once this part of my tunica is healed firmness will be further improved?
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: jj21 on April 18, 2023, 08:15:56 PM
Honestly. I am the wrong person to ask as I am still learning about all this. I know, a lot of people have made good progress with perito exercises, and a lot of people have made progress without them. Im a bit cautious about VED, ruining the tubing in the titan.

Hawk, or one of the other senior members would be in a much better position to answer your second question.

Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Hawk on April 19, 2023, 10:28:56 PM
The Titan has no way and no need of getting "harder with time"  You might be able to stretch your girth and a little length and pump more fluid into the cylinders but to get an implant harder than a Titan, you have to have a steel rod implanted.

I don't quite understand your report that a "scraped area" of your penis is not as hard.  Are you pumping until the pump bulb is too hard to pump, or is discomfort causing you to stop before that point?
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on April 20, 2023, 10:14:51 AM
Yes, I am pumping until the bulb becomes too hard to pump and I have excellent dexterity strength. at 100% I do not feel discomfort for the first half of my hour long cycling. The second half I will experience some discomfort. I still don't feel as if my penis is getting a full stretch though my skin feels loose in my dick, my girth feels way smaller and my length is as well.

Overtime perhaps I will be able to get some more pumps or something?
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Hawk on April 20, 2023, 10:43:07 AM
This is a little confusing, Trapper.  If you pump to the max without the pump collapsing, logic says there are only two things that can keep you from pumping more.

1.  The penile tissue is limiting your inflation.  If so, your penis should be VERY firm (like the best erection at 18 years old), and you should feel discomfort and stretching.

2.  The Titan cylinders themselves have maxed out before the penis has.  If this is true, it should still feel VERY firm if you palpate to feel deep enough to feel the cylinders, and there should be loose penile tissue (tunica, not skin).  Every penis has loose skin, even with a maximum erection, unless they had a botched circumcision.

Can you discuss this with your surgeon?
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on April 27, 2023, 09:45:33 AM
Thank you Hawk. I will ask Dr. Hakky about this at my follow up appointment next week. It is now Week 3 of recovery and Something amazing happened last night.

I had bought a pocket p~$$% for masterbation as I still haven't gotten used to the new skinny and hard look of my dick or the thought of using my hand on it. So I used this rubber p~$$% and its suction controls to my satisfaction and DAMN it felt great! I had a huge orgasm and I pulled my dick out of the p~$$% and it looked HUGE!

I decided to measure it and I had my 6 inch girth at midshaft back! Alebeit temporarily.

I wonder if this tissue that engorges during arousal will do so more frequently as I get further in my recovery??? Is the strengthening of this tissue what everyone looks forward to at 3-4 months?
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Hawk on April 27, 2023, 04:30:31 PM
Trapper, there is no "strengthening of tissue."  There is healing from the incisions and desensitizing to the foreign objects (cylinders and pump etc.). 

This might have simply been arousal and erection of the spongiosum in addition to the inflation of the device.  If you did not have any Erectile Dysfunction prior to surgery, your third chamber - spongiosum (belly and the head of your penis) should inflate any time you are aroused.

If you had Erectile Dysfunction prior to surgery, then they will not reliably get erect unless you use an Erectile Dysfunction drug or VED, etc.
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on April 28, 2023, 07:47:45 AM
Thank you Hawk. I should have mentioned in that post I did take a 20 mg cialis. I do know that typically the spongnesium is whats left to engorge after the IPP. However, I heard from a friend of a guy that had his revision performed by hakky that he had preserved natural erectlile function.

I asked Dr. Hakky about this pre-op and he kind of smiled at me and told me I would have some preserved natural erectile function too and that he would use a smaller dilator for my corporotomies to spare some of my tissue. I have yet to confirm that this was what he did but I will next week at follow up.

I had I think a lot of healthy erectile tissue apart from the distal peyroines and narrowing at the uppershaft so it would be cool if some were preserved.
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Hawk on April 28, 2023, 07:47:53 PM
It is important that I clarify this for others who will read this journal. Every man who has an implant has some erectile functioning preserved, assuming he was able to get erections before the implant. The spongiosum (the third chamber) always functions after an implant exactly like it did before the implant.  This means if you had totally ED, it does not respond. If you had partial ED, then when you inflate and are aroused your spongiosum will also get erect with the same reliability, it did before surgery. Finally, if you had no ED and had an implant simply for deformity, then, every time you are aroused your spongiosum, which is the belly of the penis and the glands, will both engorge with blood, whether your implant is inflated or not.

There is no other form of preserving erectile functioning.  What is preserved is the spongiosum, the third chamber of the penis that remains on touched during implant surgery.
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on April 29, 2023, 10:37:27 AM
Hey Hawk,

What Dr. Hakky told me is he would avoid using the dilators on me (I still need to ask him if he was able to accomplish this). You Can read a bit about "Cavernous tissue sparing" here:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20092840/
https://academic.oup.com/jsm/article-abstract/15/Supplement_3/S149/7012017

It sounds to me like if you do not use the dilators that a layer of corpra will envelope the IPP.

UPDATE WEEK 4:

Guys, I spoke with Dr. Hakky today. I was really concerned about my red balls and a pus looking substance coming from them. But doctor hakky said it looked normal and I have some sort of "red ball syndrome" for which he wrote me a prescription. My BPL is 6.75 (w arousal) and 5.5-6in (w arousal and depending on the day) Dr hakky tells me right now is the smallest my dick will be for the rest of my life which sounds like encouraging news!

I had a date setup for thursday because I thought I was cleared for sex then but Dr. Hakky told me no-no and I need to wait 2 more weeks so I will be postponing that. I am eager to use my new dick and hopefully get postive feedback as I am a bit self conscious about the lower erection angle and just how it is still a bit smaller than it used to be but hopefully in time it will continue to grow and I will become more comfortable with it. Very interesting as I feel like I am a 12-13 year old virign again learning to use his dick. I also asked Dr. Hakky about this cavernous tissue sparing stuff and he says he tries to do this on all of his patients and said he had success with me except for distally which he had trouble with placement and required some manueveurs which makes perfect sense as I was having ALL of my erections troubles in the distal part and was diagnosed with distal peyroines.

Anyways just wanted to update you guys on my progress hope to hear from you guys!

In regards to your downwards erection angle, Im 3 months post-op and my erection angle improved by tucking my penis up in my pants and keeping it positioned upwards.
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Stepone on May 04, 2023, 08:03:20 AM
In full agreement about keeping penis in upward position during healing and growing phase. My penis has the perfect angle for sex. I used to grab my penis to aim it into the "docking station". Not anymore, my penis has my youthful upward angle from high school.
Keep on pumping.

Post by: Trapper on May 07, 2023, 07:07:03 PM
Hey Stepone,

Mostly doing good man! I think my length and girth are acceptable but I would like it to grow more lol. I pump to 100% every morning when I wake up and go back to bed and leave it up for an hour. Then I go about my day until about 5 or 6pm and then I will pump it up again to 100% for an hour. Lastly, i masterbate with the fleshlight pumped to 100% at night and my orgasms are super intense which difficult before without trimix as my distal peyroines limited the amount of friction I could put on the tip.

I still have not gotten used to the new feel of my penis and it does feel thinner in my hand but at least the length is improving. Considering Perito's urofill once I hit 12 weeks (fascinating debate with Trost, Perito, Taj here on it https://www.smsna.org/education/smsna-webinar-series/2023/penile-augmentation-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly).

At the end of the day though I'm ready to F~@< with this thing lol I have one more week till I'm cleared for sex and am chomping at the bits to do so! I would also like to resume my normal active routine and have been trying to ease into it but after lifting a light 95lbs shoulder press I felt some pain at the resvoir site then I had to bring my daughter to a dance which further aggravated it. Trying to renew my patience but I'm just full of energy ready to go.

UPDATE WEEK 5:

Hey Guys, My length has been coming back nicely. with arousal I am very close to where I was pre-op (about 6.9 BPL) Pre-op I was 7inches BPL and about 6.75. Anyways, I think this is a good place to be for week 5.

Girth is a different story. The only consistent measurement I get for girth is my unaroused girth of 5.25 inches which I am not happy with. I always measure my girth from midshaft and that is where I had the peyroines so perhaps my scar tissue is constricting the cylinders? Aroused I am able to get 5.5 (most of the time) or close to around 5.75in (some of the time) which is similar to where I was pre surgery but I fear it is trending downwards I think it will stabilize at about 5.5in. Anyways, I am planning on getting .5inches in filler added at 12 weeks once it's safe to do so.

Physically, I am feeling pretty good I am slowly building my gym routine back towards where it was lifting light-moderate weight. Next week I will be allowed to start lifting heavy again which is very exciting for me.

Mentally, I am doing excellent I started an antidepressant which has made a TREMENDOUS difference in my anxiety an depression before I was constantly worrying about infection and other complications now I am focusing more on life.

Confidence- Not much movement here my dick served me very well for many years and now it looks and works different so making such a big change to it has put me back to square 1. I am very excited to have sex next week when I'm cleared and I think I will do the first time with an escort. I just feel it is a less vulnerable scenario. From that encounter I am hoping to get a sense of how to dial in the hardness women prefer for this thing as well as see if she notices I have an implant.

Overall I think I am doing pretty well though!

Trapper,
Sounds like things are going well.
I improved in girth up to about 16 months.
When you pump up, wait a few minutes and see if you can get in a couple more squeezes. I do this even now sometimes and it makes my cock super fat.
I look at it and think, wow, that thing doesn't even look like my old cock, it's so fat.
Keep on pumping and enjoy,
StepOne

WEEK 7.5 update-

Guys, just wanted updated things are going well. I f'~c<+d the first girl with my newly implanted dick and everything went well. The only difficulty I had was figuring out how do discreetly pump. I have also been given the greenlight by hakky to use the VED which I have been using and it has been getting me up to an impressive 7.25 inch length. Outside of the tube I am about 6.75 non bpl and 7bpl which is what I was pre-op so I have gained all of my length back.

Girth flucates between 5.5-6 in so not sure if I should do urofill or not. I'll just use the VED a few more weeks and continue my 1hour cycling 2x per day and see what happnes. Hope everyone is well!

Thanks for your update, it's amazing how you have gained back all your length so soon.

Could you please share your VED routine?

My advice, after reading countless journals, is to wait at least a year before you decide on the fillers. There is a good chance, with cycling, your girth will return.

Brother the measurements you have posted are above average and as J said you will 100% gain girth with time as you keep cycling your implant. Follow DR Clavell's cycling routine, you can find it on youtube. Please do not go and waste money to inject your penis with fillers to gain girth when it has been implanted on. Guys need to be more appreciative of what they have and stop chasing this porn star mentality of having monster cocks.

I've seen pics of your dick Trapper, even post implant. Your size is above average. You absolutely do not need a cosmetic procedure to increase girth. Give it 1 year and you will 100% have gained girth due to the implant expanding cycle process.

Absolutely. I have been less aggressive with the VED than I was pre-op and limit the pressure to 5-7inhg because I don't know how going higher will effect the cylinders. 7inhg (200mmhg) is considered the ideal at least per this study anyways. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6732895/#:~:text=In%20consideration%20of%20the%20effectiveness,mmHg%20is%20also%20worth%20consideration.

1x per day I inflate to 100% enter the tube and pump up to the pressure I mentioned and hold it there for 2 minutes. I then release the pressure and repeat the process 5x for a total of 10 minutes.

Thank you Sonic for your compliment. I Certainly don't want to be freakishly large I just really want my penis in it's prime before peyroines to be replicated with the implant so If I were to have sex with a woman I had sex with before peyroines and the implant she really wouldn't be able to tell a difference. I also like that you can round out the shape with filler because when I am not aroused it is more oval.   

I don't really care about oral or anal just vaginal sex but I fear going over my former girth and being too large which has me agreeing to taking a conservative approach at least for now.

Hey Trapper,

I just read your story and all the comments. I love Dr. Hakky, He was a angel in my eyes from where Tampa Fl F@@@ed me up and made me worse than with peroynies. Yes he made same comment to  me of this would be the smallest I would ever be again. Yes I am a bit older than you. So my recover was a bit longer than 12 weeks. I am here to say I am thankful that I am straight and can have sex again! Yes you will go through the I want it sooner than later because we are human and we are men. I am almost back to my length before peroynies even after my 1st hack job in Tampa that took 2 inches away from me and just about made it where I couldn't have sex even with IPP and just left me with statement " use what you have and be thankful". So I just wanted a functioning straight Dick. Now I am half and inch shorter than pre peroynies and my girth is wider yes wider! A lot of crap will go through your mind. Yes I tried VED after surgery but it started putting painful pressure on tubes in my sac going to cylinders and Dr. Hakky said stop so I didn't damage IPP and have to go back in. I realized I was being greedy and rushing things. So I just gave it time because yes I was smaller and thinner then. Just gave it time. The pump is in my sac and it took awhile before my nuts liked their new roommate. I hope things continue to immprove for you. Dr. Hakky is the MAN! this forum is awesome for support!

Thanks Waveboy! Just wanted to give you all an early week 10 update I have a urofill appointment setup next week with Dr. Hakky and i'll be adding .25 to .5 inches in girth and going from a 5.5inch circumfrence(unaroused) 5.65-5.75 (aroused) to somewhere in the neighborhood of 5.75-6.25inches in girth. The implant works great but looks less girthy than I used to be and I am hoping it will tighten the skin up a bit. Unsure if it is thinner because of the implant or the peyroines atrophy since I measure my girth in the middle and that is also where I had scarring in my tunica.

I'm going to tell Hakky to add a .5 inch or .25 if he thinks that is too much or will make it look unnatural. If anyone can give me advice on how to post pictures I would be happy to share before and after's erect.

Hey trapper! thanks for sharing this with us. It is easy to share pictures. If you are on the computer posting on the forum, first you would get the pictures from your phone; a very easy method if you are not very tech savy is to e-mail them to yourself from your phone and then download them on your computer by logging in to your email.

If it's on the phone, you just have to have the full editor open, for the post message. Then click on "attachments and other options". After that, just browse to the folder you saved the pictures on and click next.

Once you hit "post" your pictures should become attached. Try it out, and if it doesn't works people will come to the rescue.

Thx ohnoonoo. Had the procedure yesterday and so far very happy with the results their are some slight irregularites but the filler feels very natural and my dick looks huge in girth I kinda like it but I expect some of it is swelling and will go down over time which is fine. I am very excited to use it.

Anyways I think my dick finally looks as close to it did before the peyroines happened as I can get and I am happy with it.

Trapper,
Thanks for posting. Your before filler pic is nice. Just to be sure I understand, this pic of your penis is after implant, but before filler?
The second pic is impressive and the girth is VERY impressive.
I remember you saying you were expecting .25 to .50 in girth.
How much did the filler cost and was it done by the same surgeon?
Do you have any pics of your penis prior to the implant?
What is your actual measurements now? Length and girth?
Your final result is a testament to having a very good surgeon.
Thank you for sharing as pics help people understand that implants can really work well when you have an excellent surgeon.
How are you doing with deflating? I seldom am able to have a completely deflated penis, but it's ok, as my spouse likes to see my bulge, lol.
Sorry for all the questions.

The second pic is impressive and the girth is VERY impressive.- Thank you!
I remember you saying you were expecting .25 to .50 in girth. - Correct, I wanted a half inch but because my length is longer than average it would take more filler and I could only afford .25 inches
How much did the filler cost and was it done by the same surgeon? Yes, Hakky did both the implant and the filler the filler. The filler is 650 per unit and I got 10 unites + the laughing gas ($200) total was $6,700
Do you have any pics of your penis prior to the implant? Yes, I will try to post one below.
What is your actual measurements now? Length and girth? about 5.9 or 6.0 in the middle and thicker towards the base I f'~c<+d a new girl last night and she marveled at it it was very cool!
Your final result is a testament to having a very good surgeon. So far I am extremely pleaseed with Dr. Hakky.

Post by: Hawk on June 23, 2023, 03:08:51 PM
A few thoughts and questions.

Trapper, thank you for all your informative journal posts.

I will be honest about your photos.
Your before-Peyronies Disease and after-Peyronies Disease photos do not look a lot different to me.  That could, in part, be because of the angle. Your penis looks thinner in the base than it does distally in both photos, but all 4 of your photos look like a penis most men (and women) would be happy with.

Your before-filler photo looks like you are more aroused and/or pumped up more.  The glans look more engorged.
Your after-filler photo does look thicker, but again not as aroused or pumped.  It could be the lighting, or it could be that you look oiled or wet in the before-filler photo.  A tape measure would have been a nice addition.

If I missed it, I apologize, but did you get a permanent or temporary filler?
How many injection sites?
Was it painful?
Did it cause bruising, and how long did it put you out of commission?
Is it safe to assume no filler was put into the glans
Did the filler have any effect on your inflated/non-aroused, oval shape?

If I were convinced of significant improvement, I would consider seeing Haaky when I am in GA although my wife asked me if I was considering that for my next wife  ;D
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on June 23, 2023, 03:24:38 PM
Hey Hawk,

Thanks for your post! You are correct it would be good if I had more consistent photo's with the same state of arousal. It basically appears the same when aroused now as it did before it gets more red with blood and engorged and I would estimate goes from about 5.75 to ~6 inches around in the middle.

I got the temporary HA filler from Dr. Hakky, I wish it was permanent though it feels very natural and cool.

It's hard for me to say how many injections sites there were as they gave me some nitrogen so I was pretty loopy but it was a very strange procedure he used a syringe to go in the tip near my head and went almost all the way to the base then moved it back towards the head in a straight line I guess to disperse the filler.

The pain other than the local anesthetic injection was not that bad plus they gave me laughing gas so I just had a conversation with Hakky while he did the procedure kind of reminded me of being at the dentist.

I had some slight bruising beneath the head of my penis but not bad at all. He told me no masterbation for 3 days and no sex for 5 days but I just waited 5 days on everything just to be safe.

Hey Trapper,

Gotta say your story is inspiring to me. We seem to be close to the same age and have almost identical situations. The only difference is you have opted for the implant while I haven't. I can truly feel your excitement reading your posts and I am equally happy for you! I am meeting with Dr Clavell soon to discuss an implant and am currently facing the difficult decision on if I want to continue a careful and modified sex life- or if I want to go for an implant.

A couple things:

1. In retrospect, I'm assuming you're happy with your decision? Is that right? Is there anything you're unhappy with or that you didn't expect?

2. It seems like your recovery went extraordinarily well. What was the hardest part for you? How soon were you able to get back to work? Anything active? Etc

3. I read where you said at 8 weeks you officially had sex. How was that with an implant? Feeling was the same? Did the girl even know? I saw you mentioned that you struggled to discreetly pump, has that gotten easier for you?

4. A few months in now, how are you feeling? Do you still think about your dick? Or is it like nothing happened? Do you feel any discomfort?

Thank you man!

Yes, the only thing I'm not exactly happy about is I miss the angle of my natural erection but doesn't seem to cause any issues during sex. I also miss the natural erections but I feel like my Peyroines Disease is gone now

2. It seems like your recovery went extraordinarily well. What was the hardest part for you? How soon were you able to get back to work? Anything active?
 I worked the day after my surgery I took no time off that said it was very mentally challenging and would advise you do take time off if you opt for the surgery.

3. I read where you said at 8 weeks you officially had sex. How was that with an implant? Feeling was the same? Did the girl even know? I saw you mentioned that you struggled to discreetly pump, has that gotten easier for you?

Yes, I've had sex with a few girls since the implant and all the experiences were satisfying with the exception of 1 but the sex itself was not the reason for that I think it had more to do with us banging in the woods. It doesn't seem like any have noticed or if they did it didn't seem to phase them. I usually pump away from the women or when she is looking to be honest I haven't felt comfortable enough to do it in front of them yet or told any of them yet. Most girls comment on how big it is though and I just had sex with a girl that looks like a riley reid friday and it was some of the best sex ever. However, user experience and recovery may vary (choose a good surgeon)

4. A few months in now, how are you feeling? Do you still think about your dick? Or is it like nothing happened? Do you feel any discomfort?

I am feeling good my size is back and my dick is longer and perhaps thicker than pre-peyroines the only thing that bothers me about it at the moment is a dent I have in my HA filler but I'm going to see Hakky to get that fixed soon. I still feel a bit of soreness at my resvoir site which could be due to my intense exercise regimen or deflating more fully these days I'm not sure? However, discomfort overall is minimal but comes and goes sporadically and I don't feel the need to take anything for it. I still think about my dick sometimes yes but much less than before.

[/b][/i]I feel I should also add I have a friend my age that went to Clavell and didn't have such a good experience. My advice would be to Consider Hakky or EId. [/b][/i]

Thank you man!

You're welcome! Good luck!

Thanks for the answers man!

Yet another thing we have in common, the intense exercise. I legit workout 7 days a week and train very hard. I specifically worry about things like squats, deep leg presses, etc. I watched a video where Dr Perrito said to avoid straining for the first month or so, but after it wouldn't be a problem.

What has your experience been with the implant and training in the gym? Tried squats or anything yet? Crunches? Running?

Wouldn't that pressure cause some auto inflating?
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on July 16, 2023, 09:05:25 PM
Yes, I've squated heavy, deadlifted heavy, crunches and done just about everything. All of it is doeable however I will note that the implant has changed my life at the gym a bit. For example, I know am a shower instead of a grower now so I have a noticeable bulge in gym shorts I am sure the folks at the gym have noticed but I don't really care about it however it may bother guys that are more shy. Also laying prone is a bit uncomfortable with the Implant because the flaccid is different same with moving around is a little different. Overall everything that you mention is doeable and at least per my surgeon. I started working out pretty early to get back in shape but in hindsight I should have taken it a little easier than I was till the full recovery took place. I've never had pressure cause auto inflating. My squat is 325lbs deadlift 405lbs.

Oh dang haha, so you're going all out lifting that weight. That's good to hear though, you're a great resource for guys like me who are also very into lifting. Yeah I could really care less if my dick shows through my pants. If anything it would be an even greater confidence boost lol. Just knowing you could get hard 100% of the time on demand-has to be a good feeling. Versus my current state, looking at a thicker girl thinking how many seconds it would take her to snap my dick in half if she was on top.

You mentioned you liked your natural curve better. Does that mean you still have a curve and it's just worse? Or it's actually straight now but you wish you still had a slight curve?

Craziest thing for me was my penis is actually straight after Peyronies, which still weirds me out since I had a curve my whole life. I definitely prefer a straight dick though.

Try leaving your penis pointed upwards towards your belly button while you sleep, it seems to have improved my erection angle.

Hey JJ21,

I think you're right if your deflated 100% and wearing athletic briefs it gives good concealment. I feel like mine didn't become really prominent until after my HA filler. I think you'll be ok but even if you do have a bit of a bulge I hope you will not worry about it if chicks can walk around with their breasts and azz popping out guys should be able to walk around with a bulge body positivity or whatever lol

Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy
Post by: Trapper on July 19, 2023, 10:41:27 AM
Well I never squeeze mine because I do not like to however I will hold the deflate button while sitting with my penis pointing upward. It seems logical to me if you point your penis upward gravity will help drain the cylinders anyways I do that for about a minute and it seems pretty deflated.

fully deflated it looks like a natural flaccid penis with the exception of the dent from the HA filler but I'm going to get that filled monday.

Hey trapper,

Some questions regarding the fillers if you don't mind:

1. What's your opinion on getting fillers for a more round shaped erection? I think there is only HA available where I am, and it is 7k for 12 mls.

2. Does the erection still feel hard? I recall a porn star stating she had sex with a guy who had fillers and his dick felt like a silicone dildo, although she didn't specify which filler he got.

3. Is the flaccid penis uncomfortable to have now considering there is the implant cylinders plus extra weight from the fillers?

4. Sorry if you answered this already but how many mls did you get?

5. I have heard some people say that getting fillers regularly can make the skin tough and hard, ever heard of this?

6. Have you had any reviews from females on how it feels?

In Australia it's quite expensive, so I am weighing up whether its worth it. I think with PMMA there is a risk of infection when you get an implant revision.

Thanks a lot.

1. What's your opinion on getting fillers for a more round shaped erection? I think there is only HA available where I am, and it is 7k for 12 mls. I think an experienced injector could definitely add filler to the underside. However, I just got it all the way around so I cannot comment on what it might look like.
2. Does the erection still feel hard? I recall a porn star stating she had sex with a guy who had fillers and his dick felt like a silicone dildo, although she didn't specify which filler he got. Yeah it still feels hard just like extra engorgement when I'm hard and aroused my dick feels warm and just fatter.

3. Is the flaccid penis uncomfortable to have now considering there is the implant cylinders plus extra weight from the fillers? No, just bigger.

4. Sorry if you answered this already but how many mls did you get? I've gotten 14 units so far

5. I have heard some people say that getting fillers regularly can make the skin tough and hard, ever heard of this? Nope skin looks normal so far

6. Have you had any reviews from females on how it feels?
Yep, so far they love it.

In Australia it's quite expensive, so I am weighing up whether its worth it. I think with PMMA there is a risk of infection when you get an implant revision.

Yep, you're right PMMA is an infection risk upon revision. HA is your safest option or penuma if you want permanent as an implantee. Have you tried high dose PDE5's to help with your spongnisium engorgement? If not that might solve your problem at much less expense and hassle. 

Thanks a lot.

Hey trapper!

The spot you're getting the filler at, is that where the hourglass was before that never filled out with the implant? Was curious about that as well. I always heard that the titan will typically force that area to expand once you have an implant. Was that true in your case? And if not 100% improved after the implant, did it get at least somewhat better than it was cosmetically pre implant?
Title: Re: Trapper implant journey 33 year old guy

No, the door I had the hourglass at is/has buffed out the hourglass (hard to know how much since I now have filler). The only reason I got the filler was because peyroines reduced my girth from 6 inches to 5.5 inches.

possible infection!

Hey guys I woke up yesterday with a swollen scrotum couldn't feel my testicles or the pump it was so swollen.anyways when to the ER and they have put me on iv antibiotics for a "possible infection" anyways I don't know why they haven't cultured me they say it's because I'm not systemic (no fever, chills,etc) the attending uro doesn't know that much about implants.

Anyways any treatment protocols I should direct them too? Any advice appreciated!

Trapper,
Sorry you are going through this.
I am a little confused how you got an infection, since your last medical procedure was months ago.
Are you engaging in sex or involved in practices that may expose you to infectious agents?
You certainly have had a lot of bad luck.
I forgot, what country do you live in?

Hey stepone I had unprotected sex with 3 women over the past month but I was not made aware that this is something I cannot do? I also have been using a "Fleshlight" for masterbation I clean it with soap and water after each use but it may still have bacteria. I had rough sex 4x the past 2 days before I was admitted so maybe I banged up my testicles? Also, a lot of bike riding. Point is I have zero clue of the culprit. The doctor said my scrotal ultrasound looks like cellulitis of the scrotum but my labs show no sign of infection so I'm just kinda in the dark about what's going on. Been in the hospital for 2 days though now pretty bummed about it.

Labs are normal here is a summary of the ultrasound findings in layman's terms:

Certainly, here's a layman's explanation of your ultrasound results:

1. **Testicles:** Both testicles appear normal in terms of their structure and position. The right one measures 5.5 x 2.9 x 3.6 cm, and the left one measures 5.4 x 2.5 x 2.9 cm.

2. **Testicular Microlithiasis:** There's a condition called limited testicular microlithiasis, which means small calcium deposits are present. You should have annual check-ups to monitor this, but it's not a major concern.

3. **Epididymal Finding:** In the left epididymal head, there's a small cyst (0.4 cm) that appears somewhat complex, possibly a spermatocele. It's not a significant issue.

4. **Hydroceles:** You have small hydroceles, which are collections of fluid around the testicles. These are relatively common and usually not serious.

5. **Scrotal Hardware (Penile Implant/Pump):** There's some uncertainty regarding the evaluation of scrotal hardware related to a penile implant or pump. The soft tissues in the upper right part of the scrotum seem different and more blood flow is observed, which might suggest infection, possibly cellulitis. There's no clear sign of an abscess, but the possibility of hardware infection isn't ruled out.

6. **Scrotal Vessels:** There are prominent blood vessels in the scrotum, which could be varicoceles. This is a condition where the veins in the scrotum are enlarged.

In summary, your testicles look mostly normal. There are some minor findings like microlithiasis and a small cyst in the epididymal head. The presence of scrotal hardware is noted, with some indications of possible infection, but it's not conclusive.

Trapper,
It appears you are receiving good care.
I am not trying to judge you, but my surgeon said go slow once I start using it a lot.
It's like if you break a bone, once the cast comes off, you don't start climbing Mt. Everest.
I think you may be going at it a little too much before all the soft tissues heal appropriately. Slow down?
These are my thoughts.
Not sure what anyone else thinks.

I love how that report basically says: You have spermatocele, Hydrocele and Varicoele but in summary your testicles look mostly normal... xD

All in all it does not sound too bad I guess? I did an ultrasound in 2020 and had a 6mm spermatocele myself, they never did anything about it. I probably have developed hydrocele and varicoele myself now too. They usually do nothing about these unless they are very large/serious. Hope it's not an ''implant infection''

Hope you recover soon.

Did you not have your implant done less than 3 months ago? You have already been shagging 3 different ladies.. Settle down tiger!

Thanks Guys! Idk my penis feels totally fine so I don't necessarily think it's the sex itself. However I pinch pretty hard when deflating sometimes it hurts and I feel tissue kinda of moving around perhaps a potential cause?

Also, can anyone confirm you have to hold the OTR pump down for deflation?

Hey Trapper,

I would contact doctor Hakky who did your surgery ASAP? He works Saturday I believe.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in, but you don't seem to have the classic symptoms of infection.

Tell them about the unprotected sex, just to check for an STI; I believe some can result in a swollen scrotum.

Best of luck, keep us updated, we are all here to support you.

Thanks guys I had already talked with Hakky he advise to ice it compress it take some antibiotics and see him Tuesday if it doesn't resolve. I'm still in the hospital the swelling has mostly abated but my scrotum is still red no pump fixation or any other signs of infection as far as I can tell. Ultimately I know just about as much as when I first came here no real answers.

Trapper,
I think it's wild they put you in hospital for swollen and red scrotum!
Either it was very big or they suspected other issues?
Hope things calm down

You cannot get an infected scrotum from unprotected sex unless of course, you have a break in your scrotum skin, at which point sex would have little to do with it.

Labs are NOT going to show anything unless your infection is systemic, so they give you no reassurance that you do not have an infection.  If it involves your implant, antibiotics will not resolve it.

I understand you going to the ER, BUT only Dr. Haaky has any clue what is going on or how to evaluate it.  You are wasting your time with ER staff.

Just to clarify, I didn't mean he could get an infected scrotum from unprotected sex, but my understanding of some STIs is that, they can result in swelling in the scrotum and/or inflamed testicles. So, it may be a good idea to check for STIs, as trapper has advised that he has been having unprotected sex.

Thanks Gentlemen. JJ is correct in that Chylmdia can cause inflammation of the testicles or the epididymis. Overall the swelling has gone done but I think I may just go to ATL just for piece of mind or see a local implant specialist that is a "coloplast COE".

Hi bent narsil, yes, I don't really know why my scrotum got swollen like that but I took some antibiotics and Hakky wrote me a caverdol prescription for red scrotum syndrome. Anyways swelling and redness went away and things look normal again!

What a journey! Glad you're doing better. Why did you take antibiotics if you didn't have an infection?

I think it was a "just in case" idk and neither did the ER doctors. hakky from his virtual impression didn't think it was an infection but couldn't be sure without seeing me in person. I didn't go out to ATL because things have improved from the caveridol alone and perhaps my scrotal swelling was from aggressive pumping, sex, or an STD I don't really know.
