Loss of length

[Chaz456]

Rim1818,
Last week after you asked about sizes, I asked the Doctor's office to email me the sizes. They never did, but I spoke to the nurse yesterday and she said it was 22. On Monday I have an appointment, and I'll ask again for the other numbers.
My Titan has not grown, my penis is still way small. I spoke with the Doctor and explained it to him, and he said something is definitely wrong. So Monday I hope to find out.
Is it possible that he put the wrong size in? While you're on the operating table, do they inflate them to make sure they're sized right?

Yes they can make the mistake to use shorter cylinders and yes, they have to inflate it to see that it is functional, and that it reaches the glans correctly

Also do any of u find that u can not cum with it pumped up at all while masturbating. I find that when i masturbate if i have the titan pumped up at all i cant cum but if soft i can.

Can you ejaculate while having intercourse and is it sensitive?

I can not have intercourse yet i cant get my dick big enough to get it in and if pump is pumped up at all i can't cum. Doc said everything was fine and to go have fun and use it, but i can't he did say length would come back in time.

of course, my concern is that we end up with a very hard penis but its only 2 inches long. I am exaggerating, of course, but , as we know the sex act requires an in-n-out action. my experience with a semi-rigid penis is that it disengages quite frequently. I end up performing a sliding action with the female on top. of course, additional length allows for an in-n-out action.

Vaginal would be fine but what if u want to have anal sex

First, I agree with what Neisseria wrote above. Second, if you in fact have a 22cm Titan, that's the largest standard size they make (Titan XL is larger for bigger penises). Several guys with 22cm here are around 6 1/2 inches BPL (length measured pressed to the pubic bone), but shorter of course, measured to the skin. If you follow some links I posted earlier in this thread, I would think that worst case you would be well over 5 inches BPL.

After surgery my doctor gave me, without asking him for it, copies of the 'patient information sheet' (PIF) and the 'operative record'. The PIF is standard with both Coloplast and AMS. I think the FDA requires that all implants (not just penile implants, but hips, knees, etc etc) have a record created, filed with the manufacturer, of every implant. My PIF, among other things, shows the device, size, whether there were RTEs, etc. It even included copies of the labels from the boxes of each of the components which includes mfg part number (coded by size), serial number, lot number, expiration date, etc. I think the hospital or surgery center retains a copy, a copy is sent to the mfg, and I would assume your doctor retains a copy. I'm not sure about the laws, but pretty much every medical facility I know of allows you to get copies of your detailed medical records, which would include the PIF.

The 'operative record', in my case, was about 5 pages typed, single spaced, detailing everything they did and relevant observations about what they found and what transpired. Now, I suppose it could be partly fictitious... what they want you to believe they did as opposed to what they actually did, but now you're into a trust issue with the doc. As far as testing the implant for fit while on the operating table, yes, that's SOP I think, and in my case they recorded doing that and notes about evidence of good fit both in the flaccid state and erect state. They also included notes about measuring my cavernosa prior to selecting the implant size. I don't know if there is any legal requirement for such a document, but in every case I've asked for medical records in connection with any significant medical procedure, there has always been a document like that, whatever its called. I would think its just good medical practice. There's no reason I can think of you shouldn't get a copy of that too, if you want it.

Your concern, or fear, is probably shared by most guys thinking about an implant. A good implant doc should be able to show you, during an examination, about what you should expect. I visited more than one surgeon, and always had this done, and ended up somewhat longer than what any of them showed me. Pick a good surgeon, and the odds you will get what you expect are very good. Of course, there are no certainties in this world, and sometimes even the best surgeons don't get everything right every time. But, with a good surgeon, the odds are strongly in your favor.

I think that comment was maybe directed just at fnrldir07. But I'll comment anyway. Almost all guys with implants and prostate intact can ejaculate. Those without prostates can almost always have a dry orgasm. A few guys encounter difficulty with orgasm, especially during vaginal intercourse, maybe due to reduced sensitivity. That was a problem for me for a while, and didn't orgasm from vaginal intercourse until about 7 months after surgery. But like most guys, I can do it now just about every time. Plus, I was and am single, so using a condom doesn't exactly help with sensitivity.

The docs will tell you that implant surgery shouldn't result in loss of sensitivity or loss of orgasmic ability... but if you have reduced sensitivity or problems due to other causes before surgery, surgery and the implant doesn't necessarily fix the problem. A few guys on this site have felt that the surgery did negatively impact them in this regard. Some of them got restored sensitivity after a while. There are no guarantees, but they odds are in your favor. In my case I think my sensitivity actually improved after surgery compared to what it was before. Nothing dramatic though.

Saw the doc today about my PI and size. He said it was the wrong size. It was 22cm, and two extenders one 3 cm, they other 1.5cm. He now wants to put in a larger PI.
The tips of the extenders as they are now protrude to the sides of my dick head. I did not understand his explanation as to why this is. Something about because of my large girth the ends splayed outward. Dunno?
He's offered free re surgery.
