IMPLANT SURGERY: PAN AFTER THE OPERATION
The amount of pain just after surgery doesn’t tell you anything about the success of the operation. Ralph, a 46-year-old businessman, recalls his recovery. “The first time the doctor pumped it up—a month after surgery—the pain was incredible! I’ve only experienced such pain once before, when I was hit in the testicles with a baseball.”
Ralph went home and, taking his doctor’s advice, soaked in a hot tub. “Within an hour and a half the pain was gone. While soaking in the tub, I pumped it up.” Ralph—and his wife—were pleased. But he was initially surprised when his penis got wider and harder, not longer. Once his soreness disappeared, it took the couple about four weeks to get adjusted to the implant. Ralph had to learn to hit the release button in exactly the right way to deflate it.
Sometimes adjustment is a bit more of a problem. “I was in the hospital three days, and home for eight weeks recovering. It was eight weeks until I used it the first time. It takes a full year to adjust. It took me a year to learn how to pump it up and release it without pain. You need practice,” says Carl, a 54-year-old draftsman.
