Flaccid Length Increase With Cycling?

Postby allin320 » Thu Aug 27, 2026 10:00 pm

I’m about three weeks postop. Had a Titan 23 cm implant installed. My question is will my flaccid length increase once I start cycling? Right now I’m about 4 inches flaccid. Still have some swelling. My pre-surgery erect length was 6.25 inches.

Possibly. It happened that way for me. Originally a "grower", with not much going on flaccid, now a "shower" (very common outcome). When I first started cycling my flaccid would have been similar length to yours. Eventually got to over 5 inches flaccid after cycling for a while, which is more than 1.5 inches longer than pre op. That's just natural hang, not bone pressed. The different properties of your Titan and my LGX could influence the results, but mainly when erect I would think.

You could gain some flaccid size. I gained about a half inch, maybe more since immediately post-op flaccid size.

You might not realize it but you likely have a notable amount of swelling around the base of your penis. Possibly even 1/2-3/4” or more. Give it time. You have enough implant length to gain back to your full length just remember your in for the long haul… not for a few weeks.

I am confident you will regain your preop size. According to the studies that are available, this has become a fairly wide outcome, which seems to be confirmed by the users here.

I'm 1 month and 3 days postop, and am exactly 1 cm down on length and girth erect, but My Dr had me on an early cycling protocol and I am aggressive. I am confident you will get back to your true preop measurements, if you cycle as instructed (which is not easy, especially at first).

Find a way to get used to cycling! That is the key.

What is the initial pain level when starting to cycle on a scale of 1 to 10?

Just inflate to the point of discomfort, but not pain. As long as you are consistent about this. (Do one or two session nearly every day) you will see gains.

You don’t have to pump to the point of pain. It’s not necessary. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

It will take months, but you will get there.

GoodWood is correct. Think in terms of months.
I remember when I first started cycling, I would pump up to a level of discomfort but within a few minutes I was ready to stop. It would get very intense.
Day after day, week after week I could stay up for longer periods of time. I figure it was a couple months of cycling before I could stay pumped up pretty hard for over 30 minutes.
I know the first few times trying to get back in the saddle was a little uncomfortable but nowhere near enough to deter me from sex. It had been so long since I was able to get an erection firm enough for penetration.
It’s a JOURNEY, be patient and you will get there.
