Title: Implant surgery recovery time
Post by: TonySa on January 24, 2020, 02:26:56 PM
Was anyone able to return to work at an office job in one week?  (My last implant included excision and grafting and this a longer recovery time.)

Wow.  I would read the beginning of each journal but that is soon for an 8 hour day.  I guess it could happen but you could never count on it happening.  That is especially true if you don't want to be sitting on a U shaped cushion and have to sit up a lot.  Not conducive to keeping pain and swelling down.

Having said that, you have been through worse and generally a replacement is a little better than the initial implant so you can always hope.

I am with Hawk, as always.
It took me several weeks to sit on a office chair and I used a cushion.
To keep people from asking me a lot of questions, I said it was one of those horrible guy surgeries that only men have to go through...... and everything thought it was prostate surgery and there were no more questions.

I really had no pain. My issue was I was pumped up about 60 percent for 2 weeks. No way to hide that.

Ask questions on how long you are going to be erect. Depends on the surgeon

I only took pain pills for a day but it would have been tough to hide the protrusion in my pants
