I don't know. That's just what I was told.

I asked because in really liked the idea of still being able to have some activity there after implant.



I would buy into the idea of being slightly undersized had I not chosen the 10AX. D During my consult with Dr Hakky, he said I'd need at least a 24cm implant. However, Dr Karaman implanted a 22cm * 1cm rte. However, the 10AX supposedly expands 25%. So, assuming the 23cm total would have gotten me my pre-op 7.5" back, the expansion should yield a possible 9.3". Someone feel free to check my math lol. However, since I was likely undersized, that number is surely lower. How much lower...idk. I'm sure Rigicon likely inflates (pun intended) the percentage expansion numbers. Whatever the case, I certainly didn't expect to gain any size. I was hoping to maintain, but expecting to likely lose a bit. I'm thankful.


That’s not how these things work. All the 25 percent means is ur flaccid will be smaller than when you pump to erect.

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear, I meant underzised in girth. If that even is such a thing. But thinking about that now I'm not sure how thats possible... .

He definitely said it shouldn't be happening. I'll have to revisit that with him when I'm next in.

That's my understanding too. I asked Ralph about that too and he said that the extension doesn't actually work, it's just helpful for surgeons that happen to undersize so that there is a margin for error. Other than that it's just marketing.

My thinking with that though is that if there are no downsides then when not go with the AX.

That's the real question. Are there any downsides of the AX vs the standard Infla10 like many people report about the LGX vs the CX.

Apparently LGX is less rigid and less stable.

Of course. Imagine if the implant could make your penis bigger. The companies would be billionaires. We must be rational and use our big head to assess these claims.

To answer a lot of people's questions here. I

1- have seen the rigicon grow 5cm infront of my eyes at the doctors table, pumped by my own hands.
2- I doubt the implant itself with make your penis bigger by 25% magically, but I believe it can help recover lost size for those of us who have lost our natural size due to things like fibrosis and so on. Maybe in a very slow way over the years. Also many surgeons say that after a few years of having an implant, if you have a revision you will get a 1-2cm bigger implant. By that same logic, the AX would expand slowly to cover that gap.

Finally, Jakerip himself is a living example that the AX does something. He grew 1.25inches in 5 months. Would he grow that much if he had a regular implant? It's impossible to know for sure but I doubt it.

As Discovernew said below, it definitely grows the more you pump. You can see it in this video. The cylinder sizes are the same. One expands and the other doesn't.

I'm not selling or promoting anything dude lol. I'm also not saying what happened in my case will happen for all. I do, however know what I measured pre-op, post-op, and where I am currently. The thing expands, as seen in the link I sent. It's not magic and I'm sure my case isn't typical. I don't know why it's bigger than it was. There's another guy on here who grew past what he was too though.

Anyway, I hope every guy at least recovers their size.

I never had any plans on posting images (just not that guy). However, based on a few of these replies,I figure maybe validation will give hope to guys worries about their desired outcome. Anyone can go back to whatever page I first measured, cycling after surgery, and see it was at 7". Here's the picture of where it is now after 5 1/2 months.

the head is pink? Also, there’s no foreskin - did Karaman cut it off? In my images I have a long foreskin .

Thanks for sharing pics! very appreciated!

This made me think about a few questions:

Are the tips of the cylinders still right at the top of your glans? or after cycling/VED do you feel the tips are not so high anymore?

Do you feel you had most of this growth when you were using VED or just during regular cycling?

And finally, i remember you said initially your angle was pointing down, do you still have the same angle pointing down or anything changed during the last 5.5 months? It doesn't seem to point down in the picture
