Does AMS CX 700 increase length?

Postby young_and_impotent » Fri Dec 27, 2019 1:43 am

It says on the Boston scientific website

AMS 700™ CX Penile Prosthesis: Controlled expansion cylinders optimize girth and offer additional length options


Don't know what the additional length options are.

Would cycling over a period of time increase length? Would like to hear from people who own a CX.
28 year old with severe lifelong ED.
Implanted in New Delhi on 26/12/19 with AMS CX (15x12) + 4cm RTE
Post op length 4.5 inches from ~ (5.5 to 6) inches. Disappointed!
Wish to have a revision to LGX some day.

If you've got a good surgeon who conservatively oversizes you beyond your stretch length, you will encounter some folding or "accordion" in the implant initially. As the swelling subsides and tissues start to expand a bit, you should reach the stretch length and the small amount of over-size should allow for more length as tissues stretch more. Some have continued to get length gains for 8-10 months or longer after implant.

The CX does not expand in length because it's restricted by a mesh covering but the slight oversizing will provide for a small amount of gain beyond the stretch amount under the right circumstances (tissues stretching, etc).

The "Additional length options" referred to in the documentation apparently refer to RTE or Rear Tip Extenders. The LGX is the model that expands both in girth *AND* length (Length and Girth eXpansion).

I'm curious to know more about the CX also. I was implanted about 7 days ago with the 24 cm AMS CX. The Dr wanted to put the titan in because of my girth and length originally but went with the CX because of the infection rate was lower with the AMS.

I'm only 8 days out but it looks like my penis is about 70% inflated (don't really know, just how the implant feels stiff). MY penis is shorter than I would have imagined currently. I am hoping it will get back to my length.

To The gentleman who commented right before me about getting this eight or so days ago… I would be willing to guess by what I’ve read of other people’s results and based on the 1/3 is in your body roll that you’re about 6 1/2 inches on a normal day… You don’t need to answer this but in general, people are getting in about that range after healing… You’re so early on! Best of luck, my guy… I’m in the cycling phase right now… I have an LG ex and with the stretching and expansion, I’m going to end up at about the same… It’s just how it seems to work, I guess…

And that is 100% a ballpark figure… I was 6.75 before surgery and I’ve run through the math as to what I should get… seems like I will be right on track… unfortunately for most of us, this is all a game of patience…
