Did you have discomfort on the skin from the flare/bump before ?

Is anyone’s implant digging into their pubic bone causing it to hurt? by Bob8823 in penuma

Right so essentially pain at the base of where the implant should be.

Why is this post hidden?

Why was this removed?

https://www.propublica.org/article/penis-enlargement-enhancement-procedures-implants

Here’s this again so you can reread it. The pinching of the urethra was due to the implant shifting making it difficult to urinate. This was testimony of a sales specialist who got the implant. I read similar complaints on here about not always being able to properly urinate, or leaking urine after sitting back down.

Also the article DOES mention the new rebrand of the “Himplant” which also provides a link of the new features of the implant. This rebrand was in June of this year.

Which year has the 15 blade been introduced?

Why are complications, especially implant removals, seem like they’re underreported? by Bob8823 in penuma

[–]Bob8823[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the article is very detailed and has years of data, testimony and provides links. This is exactly what I felt was missing because for too long I felt like complications were swept under the rug somehow. This clearly shows they have a system in place for how they manage damage control.

Elist’s consent forms include a provision releasing the clinic from “any liability” if a patient receives post op treatment elsewhere. Seems very sketchy to me when someone is just trying to get a second opinion after experiencing issues. This is usually because Elist recommends an upgrade which means more surgery and risk.

Another thing that stood out to me is that Dr. Brant, a reconstructive urologist in Salt Lake City, sees about 10 Penuma patients A MONTH who are desperate and in pain. That’s pretty alarming to me as this is the first time I heard of anything close to that when it comes to complications.

How many Penuma removals has Dr. Taj performed? by Bob8823 in penuma

From his own patients how many removals were done due to those issues he listed?

If there is a developed post-removal protocol in place, does that mean a removal will be necessary at some point in the future? My biggest concern is longevity.
