Title: My own experience with implant
Post by: keithlen on March 28, 2013, 01:33:47 PM
3 years ago I was diagnosed with prostate CA and had my prostate robotically removed.  I tried all the medications/vacuum pump/trimix injections and nothing worked. January 2013 I had an implant. I was concerned from the beginning and offered to show my surgeon pics of my penis so he could see what I had but he said that would not be necessary he would "know" how much he could give me.  Well I just had it activated 3 weeks ago and I went from 8 inches to 2 1/2 inches.  I am ashamed of myself, I am angry, and when I showed him a picture after the fact, he seemed surprized.  But he tells me there is nothing I can do and I must learn to live with it.  This is not acceptable to me but I have not seen any lawsuits regarding size.  What can I do?  What options do I have?  I would like some advice--bottom line is where did 5 OF MY INCHES GO?  Keith

First I will say that the outcome is definitely bad and I think every forum member will feel bad also reading your post.
You should not lose any length because the implant.
You should urgently see a top Peyronies surgeon to give a second opinion. I know is not pleasant, but a second "corrective" surgery should be done and not by the same doctor that had implanted you. (My private opinion). Don't wait to see an other doctor.
After you will find the doctor, let us know his name that forum members can tell you they opinion about him.
I am proposing you to read this board and:
https://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.php/board,37.0.html
To see who is the top Peyronies surgeon close to you.
By the way, I would like to ask you who is the doctor. It will be good for us to know that other forum members will not find themselves in the same situation.
Welcome to the forum

Keithlen,

I am shocked by your story.  I am very interested in details about your surgeon and surgery.

1.How many of these implants does he do a year? 
2.What type of implant did he use? 
3.What was your length the last time you were erect (from injections or VED)
4. Do you know your What your BPSFL was soon before the implant and now?

Please answer all of these question in detail since it is difficult to know what happened without this info. 

Also, I saw nothing to suggest you have ever had Peyronies Disease so, if you do not have Peyronies Disease you do not need a good Peyronies Disease doctor.  Once we get a little more info, you may need a consultation from a great implant doctor.
