First of all rte choice depends on your fat pad. If you're skinny you can probably avoid them if you have some fat probably need them.
I think you'll probably get a 24cm implant without rte or a 22 with rte if not too fat.
For the angle it's a matter of point it up while healing and anatomy.
Based on your size and that you have fillers (heavier dick) I'll go for titan with no doubt.

But most important thing, get a high volume surgeon!


Thank you, Nico.
Thankfully, my fat pad is on its way to the grave. I've been losing a lot of weight - 20 kg over the last 4 months - I weight 69 kg now - and I plan to continue the weight reduction for the next three months prior to the surgery.

I agree, the Titan should work best. Also, the filler should hide the dog ears, I think.

Man, you've done a lot of research and asking Ai a lot of questions. When I had total ED after my prostrate procedure, I used a VED to stretch my dick until I could get the implant 3 months later. The VED would make my dick extend to 6 3/4 inches and sometimes a little more than that and make my girth swell to 6 inches. So, I sort of thought that I might get that after the implant was installed. But with the LGX, I'm at 6.25 or just a little more and my girth is a little over 5 inches fully pumped to the max.
It's plenty for my wife, so I don't worry about it.
From your VED stretching it looks like you might get to where you want to be. The doc and the AMS rep will probably have a couple of sizes available when they do the surgery. You should ask the doc, if that is the case.
What the doc will do, is open you up, dilate your corpora and then use a measuring tool to see what your proximal and distal lengths are internally.
Because the implants come in sizes, he will put in the one that is the closest and use or not use rear tip extenders.
I think AMS products are 3cm's between sizes and the Titan products are 2cm's between sizes.
From what I've read they use the rear tip extenders to help place the pump in the right position in your scrotum.
I have heard that some guys haven't had any rear tip extenders. Some guys might not be very deep into their body for the proximal depth and they won't need a rear tip extender to place the pump correctly or they might only need 1cm rte.
I have 3cm with my 18cm LGX.
I think you have asked all the question, just relay those questions to your doc and see what he says he will do when he puts the implant in, depending on your internal measurements.

I hope I helped a little bit.

I suppose I should add the AMS LGX to the mix.

Here is what ChatGPT had to say:


Given your specific anatomy, detailed goals, and filler considerations, the AMS LGX merits careful consideration. Here’s a structured analysis to help you determine if it’s appropriate for your case compared to the Titan OTR and AMS CX:



✅ Key Advantage of AMS LGX: Length Expansion
• The primary selling point of the LGX is its unique capability of length expansion, potentially increasing penile length post-surgery through consistent cycling and stretching protocols. Over the first year, an LGX implant typically gains approximately 1–2 cm (~0.5–0.75 inches) in penile length compared to initial post-operative measurements.

This is notably advantageous given your dedication to VED usage (currently achieving lengths up to 8.5 inches). The LGX is explicitly designed for patients prioritizing incremental length gains post-operatively.



❌ Potential Downsides of AMS LGX (Specific to Your Case):

1. Rigidity and Stiffness Limitations:
• LGX implants are softer and less rigid than Titan OTR and AMS CX.
• Given your filler-enhanced penile girth (up to 7.25 inches at the base), the LGX may have significant difficulty maintaining robust rigidity and angle. Heavier penile tissue (due to filler) increases downward force, risking reduced erection angles significantly.

2. Lower Erection Angle:
• Due to softer material and length-expansion mechanism, AMS LGX often produces lower erection angles (75–90° range, typically closer to horizontal or slightly below).
• Your stated priority is an erection angle significantly above horizontal (90° or greater). The LGX will likely fall short on this crucial requirement.

3. Filler-related Complications:
• The softer cylinders of LGX might struggle more to manage additional filler-induced soft tissue load, potentially producing a less stable erection and decreased satisfaction.

Detailed Recommendation for AMS LGX (Given Your Anatomy and Priorities):
• Consider AMS LGX ONLY if your top priority shifts clearly and dominantly to incremental post-operative length gains.
• If maximizing rigidity, erection angle, and adequately supporting filler-induced girth remains top priority (as you indicated clearly), then LGX is likely a poor choice for your specific circumstances.

• Filler impact: AMS LGX may be significantly challenged by filler-induced girth and weight. Rigidity and angle are particularly compromised.



⚠️ Realistic Risk Assessment for LGX in Your Case:
• Reduced Satisfaction Risk: High risk due to compromised rigidity and erection angle.
• Revision Risk: Increased possibility of implant revision if dissatisfaction arises from insufficient support of girth, rigidity, or erection angle.



✅ Final Verdict:
• AMS LGX is generally NOT the best option given your stated priorities:
• Maximizing rigidity (top priority)
• High erection angle
• Managing substantial filler-induced girth

Instead, your clear top-tier implant choice remains:

✅ Titan OTR (strongly recommended given filler, rigidity, angle needs)
⚠️ AMS CX (acceptable alternative, but inferior to Titan OTR for your situation)
❌ AMS LGX (generally not recommended unless length maximization overrides all other priorities)



Conclusion & Recommendation:

Unless your priorities shift heavily toward length gains alone—and you’re prepared to sacrifice rigidity, stability, and erection angle—the AMS LGX is not advisable.

Given your clearly articulated priorities (maximum stiffness, angle, filler support):
Titan OTR remains your best overall choice.

I was supposed to have got the CX, but my doc and the Boston Scientefic rep made a decision to put the LGX in, but I’m not sure why.
If I want it to be steel rod hard, I have to pump it up all the way. If I only pump to 70 percent, it’s hard enough to penetrate but it’s too flexible at that level.
It does work perfect though and my wife likes it super hard.
If I ever have to have a revision, I’m gonna ask for a CX.

I have a pretty good erection angle, I believe you’ve seen my D of the D pictures. From all the info that I got from Boston Scientefic patient champions they said it would stick out straight.

I have no doubt whatsoever that I would have chosen the LGX, but for the fact that I have a lot of silicone filler under my penile skin, which introduces a lot of weight to keep up.

After all this research, I want to go for the Titan. But, I am concerned about the ability to deflate it enough to make it look like a natural penis.
The dog ears should NOT be a problem as the silicone under my penis skin should help hide it well.

So, I would love to hear from the community; CX? Or, Titan?

Headair123, IMHO you'll be good with either, but don't know about the effect of the filler. Have you found anyone with that type of filler with a CX or Titan to ask about their results ?

Really good point, Chuck.

I am not aware of any who did. But, I can shoot an email out to Dr. Loria in Miami (he did my filler procedure) and ask him about his clients who may have given him some feedback.

Thank you for an inspiring question.

Just got a reply from Dr. Loria.

He said that many of his patients had successful installation of the implant after they had fillers. So, I'm all set on that front.

Headair123, did he have guidance on CX vs Titan to go with the filler, or take your pick ?
