How much did you lose immediately post implant and how much have you regained after cycling?

The final frontier. Deciding when, if and how.

How much did you lose immediately post implant and how much have you regained after cycling?

Postby 1984ptc » Thu Apr 16, 2026 6:45 am

I had surgery back in march via penoscrotal. Preop i was at least 7x6 (bpfsl was 7.25). Received 23 cm cylinders. Now im 3 weeks out. Length is back to 6.3. Girth is essentially back to normal. What timeline am i looking at to regain length based on peoples experiences? How much length have you regained at around what time frame. I know im not undersized as i feel the tips in the mid to distal glans (a little asymmetric in my case by about 2-3 mm). Thanks in advance to all who contribute. Im still hoping to get back to 7 inches at least.
Became bionic 3/2026. Hakky - rigicon infla10ax 23 cm (22+1 rte). Chronic ed - tried pills, ved, bimix/trimix. Had mild venous leak on doppler. Took the plunge when ultrasound showed fibrosis and i knew it was only a matter of time before i needed one

1984ptc, my pre-op length was 7", and at 9 months my length had gone from 6.5" to 7.0", and my girth from 5.5" to 5.75".

You dropped to under 6.0 inches after surgery?

Nah, i was exactly 6 inches post op but wasnt fully inflated. Now im like 6.3 inches/6.4 with glans engorgement. I think with cycling ill make it to at least 6.75 inches. Hopefully back to 7. My suspicion is once cleared for ved ill get my length back. Hakky says give it 3-6 months.

My new cut-and-paste answer whenever guys bring up losing or gaining length:

There is no “losing” or “gaining” penis length.

Your corpora is the same size the day before your surgery as it is the day after your surgery.

The implant that is put in you is (if sized correctly) the same size as your corpora. It is also the same size the day before as it is after. In fact it generally is the same size the day it goes in as the day it comes out, with the exception of the LGX which theoretically lengthens a very small amount in laboratory conditions.

Those two things - your corpora and your implant - are essentially the same size. And both are the limit of how long your dick can get.

Over time (years), having a functional dick can stretch your corpora a bit, such that after a revision you might be able to fit a slightly larger implant. But your dick won’t be getting bigger than your current implant until you get a new one. And with a bit of cycling you can ensure it won’t be smaller, either.

So why does it seem like your dick is shorter right after surgery but gets longer over time?

A combination of swelling and general post-surgery adjustment means your implant is either hidden by your swollen penis or otherwise scrunched up and not fully extended.

It can take several weeks to several months for the swelling to go down and for the implant to fully extend.

That’s why it seems to grow. But it was the same size the whole time. It just needed to adjust. Cycling helps that adjustment.

All of this is to say: you are going to wind up at roughly what you were immediately before implantation. Not bigger. Not smaller. Same size. It’s just going to take a while for it to happen.

There is no magic. Cycling does not make your implant or your corpora get bigger. It just helps them adjust.

There may be some small variation, one centimeter either way at most. If you perceive something different, it is largely your perception. If you hear something different from other dudes, remember that guys are largely unreliable when it comes to discussing the length of their dicks. Scientific studies consistently show that guys’ dicks wind up the same size once the implant has settled in - but that guys’ perceptions are wildly inaccurate.

Relax. Give it time. You will wind up where you were before, with a functional hard dick that is gonna drive your partner(s) wild. Recover, have fun and be well.
Born 1974. Implanted 5/21/2024. AMS 700 CX 21cm, 3cm RTE. Penoscrotal. Venous leak my whole life. Pills helped, but hated the side effects; worked less as I aged. Skipped injections. Grateful to bionic brotherhood that helped me make this decision.

Thanks brother. Needed to hear this. I doubt i was undersized. Hakky is a superstar based on all the things ive read here. Time is my friend then.
