Younger patient choosing implant (Eid / Titan) – concern about concealment

[ElbowRoom]

It sounds like you’ll need a 24-26cm Titan. If you wear tight clothing, it will be noticeable if people care to look. An implant is more rigid than natural tissue, and doesn’t expand & contract like tissue. You will be a “shower” after an implant. As an example, erect my penis is 8.25-8.5” long depending on how engorged my head is, and over 6” around. But even flaccid it’s 7.75” and over 5” around. I was warned about this, but I was still a little surprised.

If you are 7-7.2”, be prepared to be 6.5” or more when deflated, and it will show if you wear tight pants.

My issue is that my girth is pretty small. I don’t know it can handle a titan. I’m getting increasingly worried about it as surgery approaches.

I wouldn’t be too concerned. The girth can stretch more than length, and you might actually be one of the lucky ones that end up thicker after surgery. In reality with Titan the tunics will constrain the girth snd you’ll get what the tissue will allow. It shouldn’t damage anything otherwise. Coloplast does make a range with smaller diameter cylinders, but the standard ones should work fine for you unless you are super narrow. Your surgeon will know how to size you properly.

I was 55 when I got my first implant, so quit a bit older than you, but I'm very similar to you in height and weight: 6'1" and 180 pounds, and I like to dress well, and usually prefer form-fitting cuts. I have not found that my 24-cm Titan poses any special problem for concealment. True, when wearing jeans and other tight pants, I sport a bulge, but men do sport bulges in those kinds of pants, and I don’t think mine stands out as remarkable.

One caveat: it takes some time for the material in the cylinders to soften up, so during the first month or two, it is kind of like having a quarter-erection all the time. For the first several weeks, I gravitated towards looser-fitting pants, not just for concealment, but for comfort, since things were still a bit tender. But after those initial weeks, I’ve felt able to wear what I want.

Below are pics I took just now. The suit pants are flat-fronted, fairly slim-cut, but not tight.

I second this. I have a 28cm Titan, the largest size. I can conceal it in suit pants or similar more slim-cut clothes, but it does show a bulge if people care to look. I am 5 months post-op, and things have definitely softened up. The first few weeks was like sporting a semi all the time, now it feels and looks much more natural. It’s never going to be as small and comfortable as a natural dick with tissue that can shrink and expand, but it’s very easy to live with day-to-day.

I have nothing really bad to say about the Titan, it’s easy to use, works great, and sits just fine flaccid after breaking in. I never really had AMS as an option though, due to my size. As it is even with the 28cm Titan I will likely need RTEs when I have a revision.

Update:

Dr. Eid called me personally after sending an inquiry ahead of my pre op on the 30th through the message system.

He says he is willing to do the AMS all though yes he did talk shit about it. However, I was very impressed by him calling me so quickly and we will go over it at my March 30 preop. He said he will do the Ams if I decide to go that route. So that’s reassuring.

That's great news Lawrence. I don't think implants are a one size/brand fits all. I'm in Australia but have a US friend on here who also approached Dr Eid and was turned off the idea as he was only offering Coloplast. I'll let him know that he will consider doing AMS. If going with AMS in your case, being on the longer side, potentially you may need to think about the CX which has a special order 24 cm size. The LGX only goes to 21 cm max which I have, and I'm only 6.5 inches bone pressed erect. it depends on your internal size, but if going with an LGX 21 you may well need RTEs to compensate, and that can affect axial rigidity (stability).

Yeah he was concerned about me needing rear tip extenders. Question, would cx be any sort of comfort upgrade over the Titan like the lgx would definitely be…. Or is it negligible.

I think AMS is far superior implant.
About the rtes I dont know. If you have 18cm cock, consider 2 being made by the glans, so that's 16, then 24-16 that's 8 cm room for crux... so not that bad, maybe u'll need none.

Problem is most of us have only had one or the other. Might be a very small number of guys on here who can provide a comparison based on first hand knowledge. The CX in my thinking is the AMS equivalent of the Coloplast Titan. It doesn't expand in length like the LGX. It can expand in girth but is generally considered more rigid than the LGX. The Titan seems to have a reputation for being the most rigid and with the greatest ability to regain some girth.

Yes, the LGX is comfortable and generally hangs nicely when flaccid, but if I pump the crap out of mine it is extremely hard and anchored like a block of concrete (contrary to many reports that the LGX is soft/unstable and so on). And if I leave it fully inflated it will eventually start to be very uncomfortable. But after 12 months that usually takes well over an hour.

I think much depends on individual anatomy. I have a relatively deep crus, very average girth and I'm only a bit longer than average. Anyone with similar dimensions will probably love the LGX. But a shallow crus with significantly above average length it may not work as well and could be unstable during sex, especially with RTEs. The CX comfort wise I imagine would be similar as long as you are sized correctly (not too aggressively).

p.s. With any of these implants remember that you will have full control over how hard you want them, which affects the comfort level. And flaccid comfort/concealment generally improves the more you cycle and heal.

See I’m very similar to you. We’re not far off in length and have the same below average girth. It sounds like ams lgx is more than strong enough for you and you get the benefit of the comfortable flaccid. But also you do bring up the point of you having a deep crus which I might not have. It’s very frustrating to wrestle with this decision.

[Lawrence13]

Just adding my two cents. As disclosure, I have a CX. It’s tough to find guys who can give you a comparison since everyone has what they have. So I would go with your doc’s advice. The conventional wisdom around here is exactly what you say Eid described.

As far as whether the Titan is going to be more comfortable: the reality is that even with a CX, or any implant, at first it is going to feel big and a bit uncomfortable. I think that is everyone’s experience. But over time 1) the implant softens and breaks in, and 2) you get used to it.

When I was first implanted I was very cognizant of having a big swollen package. I kinda enjoyed it. But close to two years in I don’t think about it much anymore.

Point being, you are unlikely to get out of that feeling, and it is unclear just how much a CX will feel comfortable vs a Titan. On the other hand, there are the real physical concerns your doc is expressing.

I’d follow his advice.

I really appreciate this grounded take Leto. I do feel better after reading it. Thank you.

This is one reason I recommend you see a high volume surgeon that will recommend the proper implant for your needs, not merely offer you only one option. The 2 most popular implants ARE different, they both have different pros and cons, just like every man's penis. I interviewed ONLY surgeons that would gladly implant Titan or AMS.

For what it's worth, the BS/AMS has exponentially more implants deployed around the world than Coloplast.

I had done extensive research on both options prior to talking to surgeons. I will never know as much as they know, but I wanted to be as informed as possible. After all my research, my anatomy, my concerns and my particular lifestyle, I had sort of decided on an AMS. I spoke to one doc that I was not impressed by, I didn't feel like he even listened to me. The other doc's staff was so dismissive and unprofessional I didn't follow through with the appt. Once I got to Dr. Clavell, I knew I found my surgeon. We talked over all the things that concerned me, he answered my questions thoughtfully and at the end of our consultation I asked him what implant he thought would meet my needs best (I didn't mention which way I was leaning). He said he thought the CX would be best for me.

I know for a fact he implanted a Titan in the guy that had surgery before me on the same day, and I know he has many happy patients on here with both the Titan and the AMS.

For me, 95% of the rest of my life will be flaccid. (if I'm lucky, probably more like 99%) My AMS is 100% comfortable and natural looking. My wife and I frequent nude resorts, I didn't want to look anything other than natural (no half mast, no dog ears, no crinkling sound), and I look 100% natural even though I was always a grower, I'm now a shower. The CX moves like real tissue when flaccid, isn't at all stiff. When the time comes, it's more rigid than I need (my wife likes it at 80%) and fills out quite nicely to 7 3/4" x 5 7/8". I was never particularly girthy to begin with, and this is about where my natural erection was.

I can't compare with a Titan I've never had, but I've read enough on FT and elsewhere to determine that the biggest, thickest, stiffest dick on the market comes with risks and side effects I don't want. It's not about the size or thickness, it's about being able to live your life knowing you have the ability to be intimate whenever the mood strikes....like you used to.

Dr. Clavell told me that one of his goals was to treat the man AND the penis, in that he would restore function and remove the pre-occupation we all have with what is failing us. He didn't want me to have to think about my penis any time I didn't want to, and he's been successful with me.

Usual this is a really thoughtful and eye opening response. I have similar length than you but on the best of days I was hitting 5 inch in girth. Your description of life with the ams cx is extremely appealing. Much stronger than lgx but far more natural than the Titan in flavor state.

You absolutely nailed it in my concerns. It’s not just treating the penis it’s treating the man.

So Eid says he is willing and able to do any ams product. I just wish he liked them and I could feel good about going that route with him. It sounds like to move forward with an ams it will be over his advice but he will do it for me if that’s what I want.

Doing the deed it performs very very well. Very good axial rigidity, although it has lessened a bit over the years and has become more "movable" at the base, which is normal from what i read. Angle also lowered a bit to about 3 o clock.
But i never ever pump it to 100% anymore, in my opinion, and also my girlfriends opinion it's too hard at 100%. No natural erection comes even close.
I usually pump it to only like 85%. Still plenty hard and feels best for me and GF. Thats another reason i think i really don't need a Titan with my girth.

The women i've been with haven't noticed. I just didn't let them play with my balls. If you let them play with your balls, they will notice the pump. In my experience it's about how you "control" and lead the deed. It has been easy for me to hide.
I've been with my girlfriend now for 2 years, and only recently told her about it, she had no idea.


I have mixed feeling about it. In the beginning, whithout any issues it was very nice. But if you have issues, it's though.
I do regret getting the Titan tough, for the reasons i mentioned. I know when you have ED, all you care about is getting back the strongest and biggest erection. But now i realized that i value daily comfort more than having the strongest implant. There is no need for it for me, i think an LGX will be plenty at my size.

As mentioned, this is just my experience and chances are you won't have any discomfort with it

Good luck mate

Hey man I really value your perspective here as we have similar ages, girth and my length will probably end up .5 to .75 more than what you got.

I’m glad to hear you haven’t had any concealment issues. It sounds like you just don’t like how natural it feels flaccid which seems to be a theme. How does the Titan perform for you when doing the deed? Do woman notice you have an implant? Even with your issues with Titan are you still glad you got the implant, has it improved your quality of life?

Man I’m super unsure what to do. I’m glad to hear you’ve had no issues concealing it and I think the advice about leading the sexual interaction is on point. I am really bummed to hear that you regret getting the Titan. I have yet to read someone with our girth who doesn’t regret it. I just know Eid doesn’t like doing ams but will do them.

About me:

• about to be 38. Active social life in nyc
• Mild unilateral fibrosis (left side) from prior injections
• 7-7.2inch length with injections/ 5 inch girth at base, under 5 further up the shaft due to scar tissue.
• socially active/ will be single life dating after implant.
• Most of my life is spent in the flaccid state
. 6’1 height. 175-180 pound lean build with lean legs. Baggy cloths don’t look good on me…. Especially pants.

My main concern is everyday concealment, not rigidity.

I was 55 when I got my first implant, so quit a bit older than you, but I'm very similar to you in height and weight: 6'1" and 180 pounds, and I like to dress well, and usually prefer form-fitting cuts.

Wow I can’t thank you enough for this post. We really do have similar body types. You look great in those cloths and I can’t tell a thing. For sure encouraging. My only question is what’s your anatomy size. It seems men with larger girths seems to handle the titan much better.
