Size After Implant

[kickit40]

Guys,

Obviously a lot of discussion on this topic but I wanted to get people's opinions.

I was implanted a little over a week ago by Dr. Clavell with a Titan 25cm. I had about a 30 degree curve and ED.

Whenever I would take Cialis and be fully aroused I would measure around 6.75" in length and 6" in girth close to the base.

I am currently 70% inflated and I am around 6" to 6.25" length and 5.75" girth close to the base. I am getting a little self conscious about my size after the surgery. I know am freaking out a little bit but I really liked my penis size before (and so did girls).

Questions I have:
1. Once I start cycling will I gain size?
2. Will I gain size the closer I get to 100% inflated?
3. What should my realistic expectations be?

I appreciate the input and help.

Sounds to me like you will be close. When you were measuring aroused you had glans engorgement so after you heal you should have that again to add, and 100% inflation will give you a bit. And you are just 1/2" off now. So I would say that you had good results. Just take it easy and heal and follow your doctors instructions. I think you will get there or very close. You are already closer than some men who have lost an inch or more after surgery. So no use in worrying about this now. I gave myself 1 year before I would judge my outcome. Lots of stuff to do ahead with cycling and healing and getting used to the new you. When do you start cycling?

No woman would notice those differences in measurements and I doubt you would notice either if you didn't take a tape measurer to it. It's only been a week, you're weeks away from even being able to use it.

Appreciate the comments.

Dr. Clavell likes his patients to be 70% inflated for 6 weeks and then to start cycling.

How much did you gain from in the year post op?

Thanks man, it seems to be more mental for me right now.

Good thing to keep in mind is that if you are 5.75” girth now, that’s still in the 98-99th percentile of all guys. You’ll probably get back to 6 by cycling, but if you don’t, keep in mind you’re already big enough to easily fill out the largest commercially available condoms.

For being straight out of surgery without yet cycling, and not fully inflated, you are very close to your original dimensions.

I deflated, not sure how that happened, a few days after surgery, and my cylinder tips were down below my glans . My first inflation was under 4.5" and tips remained below my glans 1/4-1/2". And for weeks I only had one cylinder than would inflate. My surgeon said I did not deflate and the swelling had just went down and would not see me even after I told him the tips were well below the glans. When I did activate per his instructions I only had the one cylinder working properly. The other would only inflate a bit after about 45 minutes at 100% with the other. Contacted my surgeon and follow his instructions for 3 weeks where he said at the beginning he could fix it in his office but refused to do so. After weeks of that he admitted he had no idea how to fix it and had never had one last that long. I was able to get a fix thanks to this site. viewtopic.php?t=10021 I went up to 5" pretty fast after that and the second tip went on up in the glans. That cylinder is now inflating 99.8% of the time just a bit faster now but that little bit evens out after a few minutes now. Then I went up slower but steady to 5.5" then stalled out at about 6 months. At about 10 months I was 5.75" then just before a year it took off again to just under 6". Just past a year I hit 6 to 6.125" . But once the implant was kinda working semi correct I pointed from the base hard left. So I knew there was something wrong. It was like this just after surgery and the look on the face on my surgeons resident when she removed catheter the morning after was the tell of what happened. Finally 2.5 years later I was finally able to get my gastro folks to do a CT as my local guys had no interest in doing anything about the pain I was having and found a big problem with the RTE's. So my left cylinder that would inflate for the first over 3 weeks of cycling is unanchored. Was finally going to get that fixed in mid December when the hospital closed down for just covid or emergency surgery.

And I have an LGX that does expand in length more than the Titan. So as you can see my results is not really something to be compared to. And I had a couple of other smaller problems caused along the way. And I was activated just shy of 3 weeks. And a famous NY doctor used to activate at 3 days. And there is a document in the General section of this forum under a thread "Documents Worth Reading" that shows early activation does help retain pre op size over 6-8 week activation. Coffin effect is the term used. Another recent paper was just put out and talked about by a famous Florida doctor that not only had early activation but also early VED use that is very effective in maintaining pre op size. But that seems to require infra pubic incision.

Now due to many doctors not activating for 8 weeks including all my local doctors is not uncommon for men to loose 1" or more. And some men accept this loss for something that works. And there is also a member that seems to relate size loss from surgery to the size that we are given naturally. And that we are too concerned about size. I disagree. I see a difference in size lost from surgery that could be avoided by better training and doctor interest in preserving pre op size vs. our natural size. Some good doctors like yours seem to do this to a point. And others like my local doctors don't seem to really care. So while I understand the feeling of loss and that that is way different from just what ever natural size you have, others may give you a bit of push back at being already 1/2" just short of your pre op size.

Right now you just need to heal and wait. That is your job right now. When you are activated your job is to follow your doctors instructions for that. And when cleared for sex to enjoy as much as you can. You might research VED use and ask your doctor about it. And decide if you want to try it or not. And after I was fully healed, I do 1 hour long inflations adding partial pumps every 5 minutes or so. Due to pain cause by my RTE's when inflated I cannot use VED but other members had quicker results with it than I did with the stretching inflations. But you don't have much to regain and regular cycling may get you there or close enough that you may not want to go to all that work.

I hope this helps give you a better understanding of the process and the replies that are being posted. Ask any other questions you have and if you want to talk just send me a PM and I can get you my number.

Best of luck going forward with this.
