TOPIC: My experience with the Penuma implant and then removal

Johndeer wrote: I got my implant removed by Dr. Elist on 7/20/2020 (2 and half weeks ago). I've gathered some pretty good data that should help other people in this forum also interested in removing their implant. So here it goes:

I am the last person to want to toot Dr. Elist's Horn but I have to be honest. As disappointed as I was with HAVING the implant, Dr. Elist did a great job in removing it, contrary to the experiences others had.

First my incision line was sutured together much cleaner (than when I had the implant surgery), and the drain site was also sutured with less of a blood stain this time.

Second, I have absolutely no pain after 2 weeks and can massage and stretch my penis in any which way without feeling sore spots (For reference I had the implant for exactly 11 months)

Now... I don't know exactly if Dr. Elist really did leave the mesh and the suture anchors as everyone mentions, however, so far it has not been a concern. He prescribed me accolate (which is originally a asthma medication but supposedly doubles as a scar tissue prevention medicine). Whatever it is, its expensive, but I think it's working (need more time to conclude this)

My first Erection after the surgery was a full 2 inches shorter than my pre-implant Erect length (I mentioned this concern to @breakingbad a few weeks ago).. So far, I've gained an Inch and half after another week or so. So I'm still 0.5 inches shorter than my normal length but the progress is encouraging.

What people in this forum always neglect to mention or do not have the proper knowledge in is the fact that Dr. Elist Sutures a layer in the base of your penis during the implant procedure/implant Removal procedure to prevent the incision line from tearing open during an Erection. These Sutures are what causes the retraction of the Erection (making it significantly shorter), but eventually DISSOLVES. Once it dissolves your Erection should go back to normal length. This dissolving period takes shorter or longer periods depending on the individual. For myself, it took about a month when I got the implant for my Erection to go back to normal length. Same thing, I assume, for the post-implant penis

So far, I'm pretty encouraged with the post-implant progress and hope that once the Sutures dissolve I can get my full Erect length back!

In conclusion,

Removing this implant was the best decision of my life. I might even go as far as to say paying 17k plus (I also got the Circumcision) was almost worth it because it allowed me to truly appreciate my natural penis. I can now live my life without having to continuously press in my protrusion, tuck my penis to one side, or fear wearing briefs because they were super uncomfortable with the implant.

Hope this helps guys! I will post a 1 month post-Removal progress update to further help those who are on the road to recovery.

FYI

considering most of the veterans who had their implant removed +3 months have not updated since, I'm assuming they are enjoying their normal penis lives to the point they no longer need to vent on this forum anymore. This is an encouraging sign but hopefully I can be the one who updates beyond that point to really help those who have unanswered questions out!

I was absolutely shocked when they told me this and thought it was bogus. But 3 weeks in my Flaccid length and Girth are significantly bigger than my non implant penis from before. It's obviously because it got stretched when the implant was in but do you think this is sustainable and after 6 months do you really have a big Flaccid size??
