Girth Post-op versus Pre-op?

Postby RoninRiff » Fri May 07, 2021 2:15 pm

I am considering getting implanted and I am trying to determine what reasonable expectations would be for my post op dimensions. Pre-implant, my erection tends to be on the longer side but I am somewhat narrow. So I am less concerned about losing a little length and more concerned about how much girth I can retain. Would you implanted guys share what your pre-op and post-op girth measurements ended up being once you fully recovered from surgery? And also would you share what your cycling regimen was?

Pre-op girth=13.5cm (circumference) or about 1 5/8" diameter

Once the doctor allowed me to cycle, twice a day, for 20 to 30 minutes. Started with 15-20 pumps, and now it's 35+ pumps...depends on the wife, lol

Are you saying the titan increased your girth from 13.5 to 17cm???

wolfpacker,
Short answer is, yes.
Pre-op - for 6 weeks prior to implant, Doc had me use a VED to increase blood flow and tunica elasticity. He had me keep detailed info. The doctor had me stop pumping 1 week before surgery.
Also, Pre-op - length was 16cm (approx. 6") and today the length is just shy of 18cm (approx. 7"). 3 months post-op he allowed me to resume the VED on the flaccid penis. I still use the VED weekly now, almost 2 years post-op.

How is it possible that your girth has grown 3,5 cm after the operation? It seems like you get a bigger implant than your penis size... It would have broken your penis with a so big difference betwen your original girth and your postoperation girth

Raycaba - How much girth did you lose? What were your pre and post op measurements? How long ago was your surgery? I wonder if it is likely that you will still see more increase in girth...

I am currently .25 in. smaller in girth compared to pre-op. That is mid-shaft.

At the base, where I was widest before, there is a narrowing now that I don't particularly understand. Maybe it's where the cylinders connect to the rear, non-inflatable portion?

I am just over 7 weeks post-op so it's probably premature to say I've permanently lost girth, but it's a concern for sure.

Fran4524,
Excellent question. The doctor attributed the gain in girth and length to the use of the VED pre-op. I was implanted June,2019 and I have continued to use the VED weekly, starting when the doctor allowed me post-op. The girth circumference measurements are taken at the penis base, while lying down.
