The difficult choice of implant before surgery. CX or Titan

[AntonS]

Hello to all the participants of this forum! I am very grateful to you for the invaluable information I have received from here.

Despite the fact that this question has been raised here many times, I still do not have a clear answer for myself when choosing an implant.

I have chosen a surgeon who can fix my situation, but I can not decide on the model of the implant that is right for me.

I am choosing between CX and Titan.

Previously, I had an operation to ligate the veins of the penis, which ended badly. Due to the formation of a hematoma, a combat operation was required, which led to the formation of scar tissue on the tunica albuginea and adhesions between the pubic bone and the penis in the area of ​​​​the supporting ligament.
More than two years have passed since these operations. Now I have an upward curvature of the penis, taking the measure of the length due to adhesions in the adjacent ligament and a slight narrowing of the penis at its base. After these open venous interventions, I performed radiointerventional embolization of the pelvic veins, which had virtually no effect.

The implantation operation will be performed as follows: the surgeon will invert the penis through the penoscrotal approach, dissect the adhesions in the area of ​​the supporting connection, mobilize the neurovascular bundle on one side and make incisions on the scar, which is located on the protein coat. After that, he installed the implant.

He has already named the operation for me, but I have some suggestions for choosing an implant.

I have learned dozens of tons of information on the Internet and talked to many surgeons from all over the world on this forum. But I still have open questions.

I have a fairly large girth of 16 centimeters - that's 6 - 6.3 inches. The length when fully inflated with a pump painfully is 17 cm, without a pump - 15-15.5 cm. Hopefully the scar dissection will help bring back some length.
I'm more inclined to the ams CX due to its more natural flaccid look, softer cylinders, and actually maybe better durability than the titan despite the titan's lifetime warranty considering the titan has issues with tube erosion.
But I'm worried that the cx will not allow me to maintain my girth, whereas with the titan I won't have to worry about maintaining my girth. The titan cylinders are 21 mm, the CX cylinders are 17-18 mm wide. But in his video Clavell shows that the inflated cylinders of the titan and cx are not very different: the inflated cylinder of the Titan is 7 cm, while the CX is 6.5 cm in circumference.
My surgeon assures me that with both models I will retain approximately the same circumference, but will lose it with the lgx, which I do not consider for myself at all. He says that the circumference is largely determined by the protein shell and the complementary erection. He has performed a large volume of both simple and very complex implantations of both the CX and Titan. But I only trust the facts. It is not entirely clear to me how the circumference can be the same with different cylinder sizes? I believe that the protein shell and the remaining erection determine the circumference to a very small extent than the cylinders themselves. I have collected over a hundred photos of penises with titan and cx implants and realized that the final appearance, including girth, largely depends on the anatomy of each penis. But in general, penises with titan implants are thicker. In terms of the rigidity of the cylinders, I think the cx will be quite enough for any type of sex. Perhaps the titan cylinders are a little more rigid and durable, but this rigidity is sometimes excessive.
Clavell mentions in his video that studies on cadavers have shown that titan and CX after implantation are approximately comparable in rigidity. But still, titan cylinders are more durable in terms of long-term reliability.

In addition to the girth, it is also important to me how the penis will look in a flaccid state, which already has scars from vein surgery, which I do not recommend to anyone. If I choose Titan, I will not worry about the girth, but I will worry about possible dog ears, folds and its unnatural appearance in a flaccid state. Some surgeons tell me that I won't have dog ears because my penis is quite thick, but the end result will only be after surgery. I know that I can do a few pumps and the folds will straighten out, it's not a problem. But it seems to me that then the penis will stick out a little forward, as if I have a half-erection. It will be problematic to hide it. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
I'm 37 years old and looking forward, I understand that I will have at least one, and maybe more revisions. Therefore, Coloplast is preferable here in terms of lifetime warranty.
Another question is the following: after the implant is installed, a capsule is formed during the first months. In your opinion, is it possible that if I choose CX, during the recovery period a capsule will form under the CX cylinders and nothing more. And if in the future I need a revision and decide to install titan, will the Titan cylinders not expand to their limits due to the size of the already formed capsule from the previous CX? If I choose titan first, it is clear that its cylinders will stretch the tissues to the maximum and create a corresponding capsule.
My surgeon and many participants of this forum with whom I managed to communicate in private messages claim that cycling during the first six months / year will allow me to return to my sizes of both length and girth with CX. There are several participants here whose girth with CX is 6 inches. Rodsmen, in my opinion, was able to achieve even a little more. Someone wrote here about the size with CX 6.5 x 6.5 inches. But I am worried that this may not be the case with me.

I lead a very active lifestyle and do several sports: running, including long distances, road cycling, gym, cross-country skiing, I used to do yoga, but I stopped, which I now regret. Yoga was the best medicine I ever tried, it allowed me to cope with this damn venous leak. After the implantation, I would like to continue doing sports. How comfortable will it be with each of the implant models? These sports involve high physical activity and, mainly, tight clothing: leggings, tight cycling shorts, running shorts. Most likely, after the implantation, I will have to give up skinny jeans and skinny trousers in the office. In your opinion, will the CX have an advantage over the Titan in this regard?

At 37, I still haven't been able to get married, have a normal, permanent relationship, or start a family because of the damned erectile dysfunction. And after venous surgeries that made my situation even worse and completely ruined my life, I quit my good job and have been in a terrible depression for 2.5 years now. But I'm not going to give up.

Since I'm single, this also makes me worry about the appearance of my penis in a relaxed state and slows down my choice between Titan and CX.
I hope that implantation will be one of the steps to returning to normal life.

To sum it up, if I had a guarantee of maintaining my girth with CX, I would choose it. If not, then maybe Titan.

I would be grateful for any advice and comments.

The cylinder sizes are different but they both expand. That's why the CX catches up to the Titan. They both can expand past 6 inches so your penis would be the limiting factor on how big you can get.

I told my doctor that I wanted either a Titan or a LGX but would let him decide. There are 2 reasons for that. The doctor has much more knowledge than I do and better qualified to decide after examining me and reviewing my medical records. The doctor will also do better work I think if they are implanting the device they think is best. It does not do you any good to read studies that show the LGX will expand in girth to virtually the same diameter as some sizes of the Titan. Some doctors just do not like the LGX. If they do not like I cannot see them doing really good work implanting one. If you trust your doctor to do this operation on you then trust the doctor's choice of device.

Just my 2cents regarding the girth and protein shell. I got implanted with a a RigiconInfla10x. It has the thickest cylinders available (23mm) and I am only 6 weeks post surgery but still, my girth is bigger than it has ever been, altough i still experience pain in my shaft if I pump too much, because the tissue is still stretching.
So maybe, your shell (tunica) determins how girthy you can get, but for sure your pre-implant girth is not allways the maximum your shell can expand to.
For reference: no I dont have ED my entire life, I had a full on rock hard erection days before surgery as a reference point.

Thanks for the comment.
What was your girth before implantation and what is it now with rigicon? who is your doctor?
my tunica is very stretchy. my penis is thick, coloplast cylinders will fit it, but i am worried about the appearance when flaccid. also worried that CX cylinders will not be enough for my girth. would love to hear from guys with CX.

my surgeon, it was prof. osmonov together with prof. wilson told me beforehand he will use the prosthesis which will fit the best. choosing between titan and rigicon. during surgery he figured rigicon would fit, so why not use the thicker one, if its possible to do so. MY girth before was 5,3 and is now almsot 6 at the base and 5,7 mid shaft. the thick part at the base is slowly creeping up, so it stretches from the bottom upwards from day to day.

[Rider1400]

I have a titan and my girth is about 6-1/4 at base and 6 mid which is about a 1/4 in bigger than I ever had way back when I got natural erections. Titan is way harder than could possibly be necessary. The first 4-6 months could be difficult with the sports if you have a recovery comparable to mine. After 6 months it’s fine any way I want to put it which is usually down and to the left. I wear skinny jeans and yes you can see a small bulge as it only shrinks to about 5-1/2 inches when flaccid and still pretty girthy. But, it in no way looks like I’m turned on or have a hard on, simply look like I have a bigger tha. Average dick! By 10-12 months I can do anything I want and flaccid is not a problem at all. I do have dog ears but again by 8-10 months they are not an issue and you can’t see or feel them unless you dig deep. A few pumps fixes this but yes it makes it stick out a bit and get a little longer. Good supporting underwear is key to hiding it. Titan will not be an issue after 8-10-12 months but I feel either implant will be uncomfortable for many months either way. Good luck in your decision and implant. Probably can’t go wrong with either brand!

Speaking for myself and a lot of younger guys. The titan doesnt sit in the flaccid state very naturally for many of us. This can be problematic when trying to conceal it in certain clothing.

After the fun of having sex again came and went after getting my Titan, I often think about how much easier some parts of life would be if I had the flaccidity of the AMS.

The issues with titan flaccid doesnt happen with every guy, and a lot of it has to do with personal anatomy. I think if you are extremely lean it will increase the changes of it showing more in loose clothing. Another big part of the equation is how deep your crus is (the part of your penis inside your body). I suspect the short your crus is relative to the size of your implant, the more likely you will have annoying flaccid issues with the Titan because the last number of centimeters of the implant are not inflatable/deflatable. Its hard to explain, and the AMS also has the uninflatable section of its back end, but it lays down very naturally compared to the titan so its less problematic.

I dont know much about the Rigicon, but I would be curious to see how nice its flaccid state is compared to the Titan and AMS.

Yesterday I talked to my surgeon.

I asked him to send me photos of his work with CX. I've seen a lot of photos with Titan. He said that it's almost impossible to tell whether it's Titan or CX. He said that my worries about the girth with CX are in vain. He said that the remaining part of the cavernous bodies and the possibility of stretching the protein shell determine the girth with any of the implant models. In his opinion, in most cases, the cylinders are not even fully inflated inside the cavernous bodies. He also said that with my girth, I won't have dog ears with titanium. Even if they do, one or two pumps will straighten them out. But I understand that if you add a couple more pumps in a flaccid state, the penis will stick out a little forward. Perhaps I'm wrong. The doctor also mentioned that he was less concerned about the possible, but unlikely, loss of girth of half a centimeter with CX (let me remind you, my girth is 16 cm) than possible problems with Titan tubes, which would lead to the need for revision with associated risks. He believes that after cutting the scars and straightening the curvature, I can have any implant installed - titan, lgx, cx, but I do not agree with this. In the end, he left the choice up to me.
Now I have racked my brains even more. Indeed, a difficult choice. The choice is not a new bike or a car, but a dick that will be with you all the time until a possible revision.
Now for me, the advantages of CX are:
1. a better flaccid appearance, which is important for a young man;
2. possibly more reliable.
Disadvantages of CX:
1. possible loss of girth;
2. the pump is larger than that of Titan.
Advantages of Titan:
1. the ability to maintain girth;
2. the cylinders are stronger;
3. smaller pump than CX.
Titan cons:
1. worse sluggish look;
2. possible problems with tubes.

What do you think about this?
