Does the size of the implant indicate anything about your penis size?

I don't know the specifics of the procedure but my doctor told me how many centimeters were in mine. What does that information tell me?

Oh, an AMS 700 LGX.

You should have access to some surgical notes taken when the operation was performed.
Mine shoed he measured each cavernosa both distally and proximately.

I guess that's from the incision inwards, then out wards to as far as the measuring device will go into the glans.

Simply adding the 2 measurements and choosing implants as close as possible to those measurements should maximize the resulting erection.

I know the implant is slightly longer than the penis itself, but I suppose I'm asking is there a way to know how much longer it is than your penis? Honestly I'm just trying to find a way to measure my penis because I'm interested in it and if there will be any changes pre or post-op.

So I'm wondering what the size of this implant means in relation to your pre-op penis size.

I ended up with a Titan 24cm and one 21cm cylinders. The 21cm because of scar tissue from prior surgery or injections. Shave off 5th for the rear and I ended up with 19cm which equals 7.4” which I believe when I see it. She said because I’ve fat all of my life that some of it was hidden lol. I start cycling next week after a tough recovery. I’ll be happy at 5.5” if it works well.

What do people mean when they keep saying cycling? I haven't heard about that. Like a bicycle?

Cycling is the term used for inflating and deflating. Your doctor should give you instructions when to start and a protocol for cycling.

Not really a lot can be determined from implant size alone. Some men with the same measurements as me are much bigger. The thing is we are different and so are doctors skill and experience levels. Some of us have size loss greater than others. Some of the size loss can be recovered with cycling or VED use and I did have some gains past 1 year. Some have a deeper Crus (the space where the implant goes into your body. So no not much can be told strictly with the numbers. Give it a year if you have size loss and are going to cycle or use VED for this to mostly max out. This is really slow and to the point of just measuring every month or 2 after 3 months or so. Measurement when first inflating will be short and there will be in many cases good gains over the first 3 months then that will slow. At least it did with me.

There is a rule of thumb that 1/3 is inside your body and 2/3 in your penis but that is not accurate much of the time. Many are either shorter or longer.

Oh good, the question has not been totally answered. I get to pretend I’m the science guy tonight.

Here’s your answer:

Yes, implant size is related to penis size.

No, it isn’t a perfect correlation. You can’t look at a guy’s implant numbers and know exactly what he’s packing. Lol I’m not sure why anyone would want to. Then again we are male and size is an issue for many of us even when it shouldn’t be.

If you are old enough to have an implant, I guess by now you’ve figured out that not all of your penis is visible. There is a healthy amount concealed behind the pubic bone.

Just like penises come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors…..the amount of hidden penis varies widely between men. A general of thumb is that between 1/4 and 1/3 of the penis is hidden back there. For a guy with 6 visible inches, that means he has 1.5 to 2 inches tucked away unseen. So our 6” guy really has 7 1/2, maybe 8 inches.

And those numbers are just a rule of thumb. It’s not unheard of for a guy to have less or more hidden away. A guy with very little hidden penis is said to have a shallow crus. Someone with a lot more penis tucked away back there is referred to as someone with a deep crus.

During surgery, I believe it’s typical (I was asleep) for the surgeon to tie a suture in the vicinity of the pubic bone and take measurements. From the suture to the furthermost point he can get in the glans is the distal measurement. From the suture back up into the body where the corporeal bodies started is the proximal measurement. Using these two measurements allows the doc to size a guy’s implant properly.

If you post your implant size I can do the math and give you an idea as to what to expect when you heal up. I’ve done it for several guys in the past and they’ve all told me afterwards I was either spot on or real close. My numbers, however, are based on a normal anatomy.

Very little can be predicted about the size of your implant by measuring your erect penis.

Can you tell how big a foot is by measuring the outside of the shoe? A lot depends on the shape of the toe box and constructin of the heel. If you look at a clown's shoes, you might be misled about the size of the wearer's foot.

The rear end of the implant extends quite a bit into your body, thus that much of the implant's length is not found in the length of your erection sticking out in front of your pelvic mound. Also, your tunica stops short of the tip of your glans. The implant will only be into the glans that far. Thus, if your glans is particularly massive, it sticks out further from the end of the implant.

Sure, there is a rough correlation (typically 1/3 of the implant is inside you and 2/3 of the implant is found in the length of the erection) but that is a VERY rough approximation. The ONLY measurement that counts is the one the surgeon makes on the INSIDE of your tunica albuginea.

And now after those very good explanations come this.
I have a a Coloplast Titan 22cm implant. The surgical notes indicate I have “11/11” ie 11cm inside and outside my body. Even after asking my surgeon 2 times, I still don’t understand why the significant variation from the standard ratios.
Prior to surgery I had a stretch flaccid of 7” measured by M.D.. Depending on how brutal the “pressed” in bone pressed erect penis (BPEP) is, the length is greater than that 1 year later. Go figure. I wonder if there is a significant part of this measurement protocol that parallels a fisherman’s size of catch…..maybe even mine.
At any rate, I hope to post a picture or 2 if I can get past a technical posting challenge.
You guys are the best. Thanks for the support.
