Hi,
I am wondering how the length of the cylinders are measured, are they measure inflated or deflated?
How are the 3 piece cylinder measured?
How are the 3 piece cylinder measured?
Born 1967, diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2016, prostatectomy performed in 2018, current PSA 0.10, implanted with LGX 700 on Jul 2019.

Really good question.
68yo, HBP at 40, high triglycerides at 45. Phimosis at 57. Type 2 at 60. Dr. William Brant May 1, 2023 CX 21cm w/no rte's penoscrotal 6" girth @ 6 months
Re: How are the 3 piece cylinder measured?
I think it’s much more confusing than inflated/deflated… I mean, hopefully in my case LOL The number that the doctor gave me has a distal measurement that is 6 cm shorter than what I went into surgery with and what he said I’d come out with…. He said that I can grow another 25% which is cool but by my calculations a little bit shorter than what I had before… Again, totally fine just confuses the hell out of me… I see a gentleman on here with similar implants getting similar sizes to what I have before so I’m confident the cycling is going to help… I don’t quite understand how those measurements came about though… I haven’t started cycling yet but I can tell you that as it sits, my penis is shorter at 10% than it was flaccid before surgery LOL

Get an experienced surgeon who did many of these. Don't take a chance. I think that this is more like an "art", hence experience matters.

Inflated. Including the fixed part which is at the rear end of the implant. This part is about 5 cm long. So an 18 cm implant measures 18 cm when inflated and has about 13 cm of inflatable length and about 5 cm of fixed non inflatable length.
On the other hand, Titans and AMX CX do not differ much in length inflated or deflated, so in their cases it is almost the same thing. AMS LGX do expand up to 20% when inflated, but the measurement is still inflated.
So it means an 18 cm AMS LGX is 18 cm inflated and 15 cm deflated. And since 5 cm (or actually 4.5 cm) is fixed, a deflated 18 cm LGX has 10.5 cm silicon part and 4.5 cm fixed uninflatable part.

Re: How are the 3 piece cylinder measured?
Other than the LGX, they don’t expand in length
so the length mentioned (say, 18cm) is the same either
way.
The instructions state that approximately 1/3 is
fixed in the body, and approx 2/3 extends.
I had significant length and girth loss. I am at 8 weeks.
It appears that some length is coming back... not all,
but some. The girth will not come back, for sure,
as the cylinders now make up all the girth.

I know, I know, everybody hates that word that starts with "p," but here goes.
Patience. I regained my full length, but it took quite a while. I don't think anything would have happened at 8 weeks. Hang in there, brother.

Re: How are the 3 piece cylinder measured?
Yes David, but is a kind of contradictory: if implant cannot grow in length, how is it possible to gain length? My pennis is now about 9 cm flaccid, and 9,8 fully erected, which according with documentation and brother posts, is the maximum capacity of cylinders. How is possible to recover more lenght if cylinders don't grow in length?
You and others tell that with time it is achieved. The question is how?

Re: How are the 3 piece cylinder measured?
Look at posts from guys with similar size implants… Just stick with the cycling techniques… it was only a couple of months ago… You’re going to need to give it some time to heal… Your body is in major defense mode right now and everything is going to be tight

Re: How are the 3 piece cylinder measured?
I know, WhiteCane. I am not putting in question de fact that with time, people recover at least good part of size lost. I have seen here and in blogs, articles, etc.
My doubts are about the technical explanation. You see, I am engineer, scientifist, and I need a rational explanation to every fact in my life. And I cannot understand the compatibility between the facts (with time and cyclyng, pennis recover size) and the theory (size of cylinders is fixed and cannot grow).
Is just that.
