1 Week Post Op

Postby PEGuy86 » Wed Jul 15, 2026 6:12 pm

Hi everyone,
I’m one week post-op with a 20 cm Titan with RTE.
I’m having really mixed emotions right now. Everything appears much smaller than I expected. I completely understand that I’m only at the beginning of the healing process, but my initial reaction to seeing myself hasn’t been very positive.
Can anyone relate or share their experience? I’d really appreciate hearing how things progressed for you.
Thank you.

PEGuy86, welcome to the bionic brotherhood ! Yes it is early, and you're probably not 100% pumped up, and you probably have swelling around that area that distorts things. It's really hard to get a sense of size until you start cycling, and you'll still have to wait weeks if not months until everything settles in. In my case, everything looked awful after surgery and I wondered "what the hell did I let them do to me" for a couple weeks. Having gone thru that I'd do it again in a heartbeat, and its incredible :)

In the mean time you might find some inspiration here :

Thanks so much Chuck, I appreciate your words. I’ve been thinking the same, “what have I done!” I know it will all be worth it eventually and again I appreciate your reply.

Like Chuck said, give it time. A week after surgery my equipment was looking pretty pitiful, but now it looks the same as before but gets way harder!

Right after surgery and my first cycle attempts it was looking like I had lost a full inch. 3 months later it’s all back. Very pleased. But also note I aggressively and diligently followed my surgeons cycling protocol. That’s very important.

Much like the other guys have said but we all have unique experiences. In hospital the morning after surgery two very young nurses came in to unwrap my dick and check things over. I was 30% to 40 % erect for the first six weeks and we all got a first look. Both disappointing and embarrassing. I was very erect but undersized, bruised, swollen and aching, but also some numbness. Although they knew what I had done I don't think either girl had actually seen an implant result before. A number of curious questions were asked and I felt like a living museum exhibit. I didn't really start to see size improve until I began cycling at 6 weeks.

Fast forward after a number of months of healing and cycling. I had recovered my original size, no more swelling or bruising and discomfort had pretty much gone. Sensation had mostly returned. Went from grower to significant shower, now with not much difference between flaccid and erect size. I was having fantastic pain free sex like never before. Customizable erections on demand whenever I want and only back to flaccid when I want. You are definitely in the "WTF have I done?" phase, which will pass. You will get there but the timeframe varies and the ride can be bumpy at times. Hang in there.

Have to agree with others here, it's early, give it time.
At one week post-op I was still on the couch in pain thinking why did I do this? Looking between my legs was a horrible sight.
At my 2 week follow up doc tried to deflate me. That felt like a kick in the sack. Hurt so bad after that had to beg doc for stronger pain meds. Few weeks later things turned around.
