I've now been implanted. 12 days ago.
I have high hopes, things have gone well, although my penis is now shorter than ever.
I lost a lot of length from Peyronies itself as it got really deformed and I was a bit of a serious case, and now the implant a little more, wondering if I'll be able to cycle anything back.
I think having Peyronies might be different to those who had ED. Due to the scar tissue and stuff. I'm only early thirties I want to have a good sex life and just to have enough for that/a satisfied partner for life. I never once had an issue in my life with sex before and was originally between 6-7inch (never actually measured but I knew it was a good size) - multiple times I've had to stop due to hitting cervixes . Never had an issue. Now I'd say I'm definitely below 5" which is insane as it just looks so small lol! Praying for a miracle
Curious to find links of others who regained size cycling or stories here. Hard to find them with search bar.
edit: I was able to make a rough measurement using a credit card, and it seems I'm at least 4'3" so this is rough for me to take in, obviously its still super early and I'm going to try perito exercises and start cycling soon as I can.... It seems like above 5'1" is the average so if I can get anywhere near that ill try be more content....
its crazy to have never worried about penis length your entire adult life, multiple girlfriends, many positions, and now this... but i do have a working penis at least so.... my worry is i like girls that are slim but got nice big butts so no idea if ill be able to enjoy that anymore lol we'll see

hard to tell without signature information, update your sig

Pre-OP VED length: 5.5". Post-OP: 4". At 3 months post-op: 5".

If you have a motorcycle or a bike stop using it (ED with motorcycle accident).

I'm actually panicking about this as well. I've lost about 1.5 and from what I'm reading, the model I have doesn't lend for any extra length. I'm currently at 4 after only having the surgery a month ago and cycling for a week.
Was I undersized?

Re: How much length can be regained via cycling?
Gandalfasfhaf & Ms_Man: Dr Perito says size loss start as soon as night time erections stop. Also, this forum has always said that peyronies made regaining your size back difficult. The scar tissue that causes peyronies also shortens the tissue. If any fibrosis is encountered. Inexperienced drs will just use the size that matches the space available. A good dr will gently cut thru it so he can use a proper sized implant. So there is the bad news. Its preached frequently that your choice of a surgeon is very important. Installing an implant isn't a difficult process. The skill is is how to do it when difficult or unusual conditions are present or encountered. Peyronies is probably at the top of the list of those conditions. Sometimes micro scratches are used to create areas in the scar tissue to allow it to expand. Some of these tricks are not taught to new surgeons very well. Please factor this into your expectations. How experienced was your dr. Not how well his friends like him.
Our memories of our size isn't very good. Measuring while in a VED or while having an erection from an injection leads to false measurements. Despite all the bad stories. Your penis stretch test is about the best guide there is.
I can only speak about my experience. I never measured myself prior to ED. I was not happy with my stretch test. But my dr was fairly well spoken of by FT members in private messages. I did gain close to 2cm after 3 months of recovery. A VED was used & I was a dedicated cycler of three times day. Some days even more. I'm content with my results. Be forewarned. It can take a year, sometimes longer to reach your final size even with steady cycling. If you don't do the work, you can't expect the results. Its that simple.
Also, as Newhope says. We can't compare your results to other surgeries without knowing more about you. Like your stretch test measurement, your dr & how long you went without nighttime erections.

Take a breath.
I didn't start cycling until 6 weeks post-op, and like you I was about 1.5 inches under my post-op erection. Bone-pressed is very difficult, as my scar starts right above my penis, so that is hard there, and still a bit sore if I press on it.
However, my girth is definitely coming back (I am 4 1/2 months now post-op). I hold off measurements for one-month increments. But it appears length is slowly returning, too. I am cycling twice per day. I leave it pumped to the max for at least an hour each time and have no pain at all.
BTW, all you out there recommending just a couple of high-volume doctors, mine is not one of them. Mine is Dr. Stork at U-Michigan West Urology. He did a great job and I highly recommend him.
ED worsened over 25 years, likely VL. Went through pills and injections, and results faded over time. Implant AMS 700CX, 21 cm, no RTE, on 6/3/24.

Thanks, I'm just worried the model I have doesn't give room for increasing length. I don't have the luxury of the high end doctors as there is literally only one in my country (Ireland) that does the procedure and as a result the only one covered by medical insurance as a result of me having MS.

less experienced doctor tend to be conservative about implant, so they don't risk erosion and other stuff. But this almost always means size loss. Post the name of your doctor so maybe other people in the future will avoid it in your country

Direct message Txagq8. Tell him how many centimeters of implant you were fitted for, the make, and he'll give you an approximate estimation of what can be regained.
40. Implanted July 5, 2024, by Dr. Andrew Kramer, Urology Associates of Cape Cod. AMS LGX, 21cm cylinders + 2cm RTEs. Idiopathic erectile dysfunction following bacterial infection. Tried pulse waves, Cialis, even spinal injections. Nada.

hows cycling going mate? i still have to wait a few weeks, although I'm just under 2 weeks since surgery I've been able to start doing perito exercises last few days.
my penis felt super compact/tight and I'm like giving it small yoga sessions almost which I think might be loosening it up and even extending it a bit now. that's what id like to think anyway haha
seems like many say it'll take months to see some growth so... praying for us!
