Loss of length-from LGX to CX

Postby wolfcreek » Mon Jun 05, 2017 7:33 pm

My CX implant appears to be more than one inch shorter when inflated than my LGX was. I know the CX doesn't expand in length, but has anyone else experienced this much loss when going from an LGX to a CX? Girth is about the same for each by the way..

With stretching you may regain some of that length. I did.

Do the tips extend into the glans as deeply as the LGX tips did?

Yes, even a bit further into the glans now (surgeon used slightly longer RTE's this time).

Yes, from my first revision (LGX to CX) about an inch was gone.
54 years old, happily married for 30 years to a beautiful & outstanding lady. Onset ED at 49. Finally fixed on 11/08/2017 by the master Dr. Eid with a Titan XL 26, no RTEs! Previously had 3 AMS implants (LGX & CX), all botched.

The deeper into the glans (all other things being equal, which is a BIG assumption), the deeper into the glans, the less overall length. The good news is that SST Syndrome (floppy head) is less likely.

What does your surgeon say?
