If your surgeon measured you properly, you should be 6.25 after implant when fully inflated.
It may take a bit of time to reach your pre-surgery length. In various studies, the surgical technique has an influence on this and the post-op inflation protocol has a major influence on this. Early activation/cycling of the implant has a great effect on size retention, but the discomfort involved limits many patients' ability to follow the protocols.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW YOUR SURGEON'S INSTRUCTIONS!!! What was found during the surgery, the type and techniques of wound closure and your healing characteristics will determine how soon it is safe to do anything. The last thing you want to do is tear something open!!! As your surgeon before you do anything on your own.
Early and aggressive cycling helps with size, but is sometimes critically contraindicated by conditions found during the surgery. Talk to your surgeon about your concerns and be
absolutely certain you understand each other.
Scar tissue encapsulation can limit size recovery and make the process of regaining size take longer.
The Titan is reputed to be pretty much full length (whether inflated or deflated) from the day after surgery going forward (unlike the LGX which shortens up to 20% when deflated). Titan's big advantage over the LGX or CX is its girth and the native stiffness of the material of which it is made. The AMS devices are essentially cloth covered with surgical grade silicone. The Titan is a flexible, harder sort of plastic material (what it actually is, is a secret) Coloplast calls "Bioflex". In some cases, , I have heard that the Titan can shorten by taking accordion-like folds, but a Titan man will have to confirm that. Uninflated, it is stiffer than the AMS dacron cloth based tubes. Inflated, it is said to be stiffer as well, but the AMS tubes are unbendable at any pressure you could tolerate in normal sexual activities.
I will go on to speculate that if you are not at least 6" after your swelling goes down, you were either undersized during the surgery (in which case you may want to investigate getting that corrected in any way available to you) OR you will regain your original size by cycling the implant over the next few weeks or several months. This speculation is not from personal experience, but from reading the accounts of many men here on FrankTalk. Just spend your recuperating time reading the past couple of years of posts.
As for my own experience, my surgeon left my AMS LGX inflated at 80% post-op but reduced that to about 70-75% when I complained that it felt like my penis was being crushed in a vice. The feeling was constant and distracting, so he deflated just a little. By the time my swelling went down two weeks later and I was allowed to start cycling the implant my size was identical to me immediately pre-op (erect) length. Maybe a bit short of my best length 30 years prior, but I did not take particularly careful measurements back then.
