Titan / AMS decision, considerations..

[2435tjklAS]

Gt1956, I'm not sure why you think you're being dragged into anything. You're not, and for no reason am I wanting you to justify the LGX. I'm not and never was arguing with you about this if it reads like I am. This started because I shared my belief of the 5.5" girth max for LGX. You had said that doesn't apply for CX, which is great, but I wanted further information on the truth of the LGX with girth and how it compares to other devices. I had no knowledge of Titans and never implied I did.

My goal was to generate accurate information from our shared experiences on what implants do what to what sizes, which is exactly the original question in OPs post, and exactly what we seem to be answering in this conversation.

Soon we will know between titan and cx, with a circumference of 13 cm split with titan, I don't remember exactly between the natural and the titan, by eye it seemed to me that I had lost something like 1 cm, in the sense that natural I was 14, now I'm very sure and measured at least 50 times, I was stuck with the titan at 13, or 5.1", now we will see between titan and cx

The goal of an implant is for men to regain their sex life but the other 95% of the time it's just tucked away . That's when you'll want the more natural feeling flaccid of the AMS .

I had an AMS CX implant placed by Dr Clavell on 1/29/25. During the surgery he did extensive plication and modeling to correct my 50 deg up and 45 deg left curvature as well. My whole reason for picking the CX implant rather than the Titan is exactly like @Journeyman: since I'll be flaccid 95% of the time, comfort for me is more important than girth. And the difference in maximum girth between CX and Titan I decided was negligible, and limited in any case by the tunica albuginea.
Titan girth: 17.8 mm
CX girth = 16.5 mm

The only trash talk I got from 2 different surgeons was about the AMS LGX. I was told flat out that the claim that an LGX can grow up to 25% in length is just marketing BS. The surgeons job is to put in an implant that is the same length as the corpora. If it's sized properly there's nowhere that the LGX needs to grow in length to fill a corpora that's already full.

[But nonetheless it was very clear to me that Hakky is a Titan guy through and through.

Another reason it's important (in my opinion) to consult with a doctor that offers both Coloplast and Boston Scientific, and INSTALLS both products. One size does not fit all, but if you go to a Ford dealer you're going to hear how Chevy sucks, and vice-versa. Each implant has it's pros and cons, and if you aren't well aware of those pros and cons, then you can't make an informed decision. You must be your own advocate. For heaven's sake, it's your sex life we're talking about here....is there anything more important?

This is well put.

As an FYI I discussed the topic at length with my surgeon on the day of to allay fears, and now that I have the CX I'm glad I went that route.

For one, I was really worried about thickness and loosing it. I was a 'big boy' and didn't want to lose any. However, in going back over the charts and the discussion one think he pointed out was my anatomy.

I have a narrow glans. Granted, it epanded a LOT after arrousal, but only in that state, and I'd had issues with glans engorgement post RP in 23. One of the reasons we discussed the CX was the rounder tips, which would make the implant more comfortable for me.

This may not seem like a big concern, but one of the things I realized early on with this implant is that he was right. When I DO engorge, its more comfortable, but thats difficult, and while soft I can see where the CX is more comfortable. It also is "more natural" when flacid - I can even tell that by pics. Thats not to say the implanted penis is EXACTLY the same and non-implanted when flaccid - its not - but its more natural than the deflated Titan (again - can tell by pics).

At the end of the day the surgeon guided my decision and as he said 'if you're really unhappy later, there is always a revision.'

I should also state - he did an equal number of bother and was certified by both companies.

I have been leaning towards the Titan heavily because there are certain benefits of the Titan that seems appealing to me. But I have been paying more attention to the front tips lately. The Titan tips are more angled and the tip is also more pointy and harder. The angle is more anatomically correct but the tips are not. They are way too hard. CX tips are a lot more cushioned. In fact there is an hollow chamber in between the layers of silicon at the tips. I just looked at them in my hands recently.

I also have somewhat of a narrow glans. Could you please take some measurements of your glans width side to side at the corona and mid glans and share please? This may end up being a deal breaker for the Titan for me.

This is what I believe too. Men can't resist the claim that an implant can make your dick "grow", I too think that the LGX is 100% marketing gimmick. That's NOT to say that the LGX doesn't work just fine for men that opt for it, apparently it does. Your corpora is your corpora, you're not expanding that by 25% in any way, shape or form. The implant itself may get longer, but your dick is your dick.

IMO, one proof of this fact is that no other manufacturer has built an implant that makes similar claims. If this technology was so revolutionary and resulted in larger penises, higher rigidity and increased reliability, it would have been copied 5x by now.

Reading all this about girth and length and how much it can grow vs doesn't? My cx gave me 3/4 to 1 inch more in girth and prob 3/4 or more in length hard. After implant the flaccid length is now 6 and will grow to 7.25 or more after inflated? And that's just measuring from skin out not bone pressed. So, there's 1.25 in length from soft to hard. Guess before i was more of a grower than a shower..lol

Good info thanks.
