Getting Implanted Today 8/5/26

[1984ptc]

Had my first follow up appointment today with the surgeon. He said everything looks good. No infection. I did ask him what size implant he put in all he said was 23 cm. He said I had a little extra internal just cause I’m a little on the heavy side. Not sure if 23 cm is average below average or above average?

Its above average. Im 23 cm. 4 months out. Currently 7.25 inches x 6.25 inches. But that was basically my preop size. If you have more body fat, it may come out looking less

Looking forward to no swelling. Dr said a few more weeks. Apparently I have low platelets which affects the healing/swelling. Probably at 30% less swelling now.

I do agree with most on franktalk that I care less about final length and more about being able to get hard without the mental anguish of ED.

I do also think my surgeon set my expectations low wit his quasi stretch test in his office. Much larger than his stretch test indicated. Others on franktalk said most high volume surgeons don’t even do a stretch test. I guess it’s true that the surgeon has no idea until they measure you on the operating table.

Allin, It sounds like you are recovering well. Yes, functionality is far more important than length, but you have as good a chance as any of us to regain pre op size with healing and cycling. If you're already seeing a larger size than expected that's a positive sign. I asked my surgeon about measurement and he told me he doesn't do it pre op, he will measure me accurately on the table. Your implant length of 23 cm is above average but penis length can vary for the same size implant. It depends how much is internal vs external. Try to relax and look forward to when you can use your new bionic dick . Trust me, the mental anguish of ED will be a thing of the past when you pump the thing up and it's hard whenever you want, as long as you want.
