Would everyone please post how many inches you have lost or perhaps gained after your implant to this forum. It might be beneficial to those who are thinking about having a procedure in the future. Also, post how long since your procedure, because I'm told that more length will be regained with time after your procedure. It may be surprising to a lot of people how many men have lost a couple of inches and never regained them. I hope everyone is going to say that after a year or so, they all gained their lost inch back or most of them.
My AMS LGX 700 was implanted in October 2011, 4 months ago. 5 1/2 inches before and 3 1/2 after implant. A loss of 2 inches. I have not gained any lost inches in 4 months

Re: Loss of inches after implant
I am sorry, I just looked and my implant date was September 21 2011, not October of 2011.

Re: Loss of inches after implant
I had my implant on 11/16/2011. Lost maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch to 5 1/2 inch. Don't miss it at all...Penis is hard as rock and most importantly, my wife and I have great satisfaction from sex that we would not have without the implant. I think the obsession with length is a little over done. the woman G spot is only 1 to 2 inches in and that is what matters most for the female. I think I would reach orgasm regardless how long or short the equipment.
Good luck to you all and I hope you get to the same satisfaction my wife and I have reached.

Ability to have sex > size
I gained length & width from Titan, But since I could never had an erection...there was only positive that an implant could bring.

I had Titan OTR implanted in September 2011 as well. Proably lost close to an inch in length, no change in girth. I am disappointed in the loss but my wife is happy so all in all, I can't complain.

Re: Loss of inches after implant
I CHICKENED OUT 2-1-2012 I was scheduled for an implant Feb 7, 2012. I have been on this site collecting data and experiences and asking questions that concerned sensations post implant. I also had a definite concern re the loss of size and the fact that the glans would not engorge as before implant.
After reading the posts this morning re loss of size I called my doctor and fortunately was able to speak directly to him. Dr R Wang at MD Anderson.
I asked him about the glans not being engorged and how that affected sensation. He said that if I have sensation now that would not change. The main difference I would notice is that on penetration there would not be that ‘great’ feeling that I was used to.
I asked him about loss of size. He said 50% of all implants result in loss of length. He said that it depends on how each individual penis reacts to surgery in such areas as scaring and tissue reaction to the implants. He said that normally the larger the penis prior to surgery the more length was normally lost. He said he had patients with 7 plus inches loose up to 2 inches. The smaller penises usually loose much less. (That is me) He said the normal loss was about 1/3 inch, but again each case was different. The girth is usually maintained or increased because of the expanding cylinders.
He said that he could not increase anyone’s size but he tries hard to maximize the size of the implant so that as much size as possible was retained. He had planned to use the AMS LXG for me because it can actually continually expand the penis b a ck to the original size. He said if he put in one that was too large for the penis it would eventually wear through the glans and protrude necessitating removal and perhaps loss of any ability for replacement.
He advised me that if I was very concerned about loss of length and I could have intercourse with the trimix or vacuum device to cancel the surgery. He repeated that if loss of size caused me a lot of anxiety that he would recommend not proceeding with surgery.
I was very glad Dr Wang talked frankly about the probable outcome would be the loss of length. Even the 1.5 to 2.5 CM would be more than I would be willing to loose given my much less than average length starting point. I talked with my wife and she said ‘honey size has never been a problem for me, you say you are very short but it has always been enough for me. I love you, not just your penis. It is still your decision but I had rather have you healthy and not depressed about something like the size of your penis that anything else. Then she laughed and said, I don’t suppose I should say- it’s no big deal, should I?.

Re: Loss of inches after implant
I guess I need to reword my question. What I am curious about is how much men have men been able to stretch back out after their implant. In other words if you lost 2 inches at the time of implant, how many inches were you able to regain. Like someone could reply "after one years time I was able to regain 1 1/2 inches of the 2 inches I lost." That is what I was looking for. So those of us who have lost during our procedure will have something encouraging to help us to feel like we can still have a more positive outcome. Sorry to have offend anyone.

Re: Loss of inches after implant
I was implanted on 10/5/11. I have actually gained 1/8 to 1/4 in length (6.5" now at max excitement) my girth is not quite what it was- lost about 1/8" or so but still a bit over 5" around. I had a bulge of girth before underneath about halfway up the shaft that is no longer there...but I am am now wider at the base and pretty much consistent 5" up the shaft. The glans do engorge when excited and when I use a cock ring made from a bike tire tube it Really engorges everything and feels great! I could not be more pleased with the outcome.
