Your length growth between uninflated and inflated is a LOT more than I ever thought possible. Does anyone know if this (growth ratio) is something commonly seen or is this a rare case?

From the pics, it appears that the flaccid length is 3 and 1/4.... While the erect length is nearly 5 and 1/2 inches...that is really good 'performance' from the implant...very impressive!!!

Sorry for the late response to questions.Had to leave town for the weekend been hot here in Arizona went to are off grid cabin up north to cool off.

Lost Sleep ,my implant is Ams cx. Does not expand in length so they claim

Cumstein , I was not given any information about size from Doc when Inquired . At this stage in the game I'm just glad it all works again at will .Best thing I ever done just wish I would've done it sooner.


thanks to all that has responded.

Odd-job , Yes you are correct on my sizing, The And Cx does not grow in length so they claim .I have always been a grower and still Am .My doc does like installing LGX models not sure way As I never ask .He did say he installed the Cx model as he felt it was the Cadillac of implants .Just his apinion .As all Doc have.

My AMS 700 CX does not add length. It just gave back what I already had. :)

ddbryan ,I did see much change in the first few months .Then from pumping twice daily for about 1 hour each day Is when I seen change in length.And that was at 6 to 7 months .NOW about 11 mos post op.just seeing change in girth no longer getting any change in length. Other than it seems like I can pump up to max inflation quicker then 10 ms ago.Best wish and happy pumping.

Lost Sheep,
without risk of glans erosion as long as the patient scrupulously avoids aggressive inflation

Glans erosion is usually caused by the poor surgical skills of the URO ... placing the cylinder tip(s) too far into the glans. Yes some guys are at fault by leaving the Implant pumped up for long periods of time ...
I also expect the AMS 700 LGX to be adaptable to a small degree of undersizing without risk of "floppy head syndrome"

Again the "floppy head syndrome" is caused by the poor surgical skills of the URO ... placing the cylinder tip(s) not far enough into the glans.

The expansion (length) of the LGX will not make up for poor cylinder placement ... the tips of the cylinders should be about half the distance into the glans (head). Too far and you chance "glans erosion" ... not far enough and you risk "floppy head syndrome".

Impressive! What video do you have? You could post it to Youtube if you wanted. I don't know if you can post videos on this site or not.
