Some penile implant surgeons size up implant only up to the head of the penis

Many do that. I personally know one who does that. I was wondering why so I entered this into a google search and got this AI generated response:

---------
Penile implant surgeons measure and size implants to fit the corporal bodies (the shaft's internal chambers), not the glans (head), because the implant fills these chambers, providing rigidity, while the glans remains naturally engorged with blood during arousal, so the implant only needs to match the length of the shaft up to the base of the glans to avoid complications like pain, deformity, erosion, or a "floppy glans," ensuring optimal fit and function within the body's limits. Oversizing the cylinders past the natural limits of the tunica albuginea (the penile sheath) can cause damage or erosion.

It would be nice if someone of the statue of Dr. Clavell, Dr. Eid, Dr. Perito or Dr. Kramer who from what I understand don't do that commented on this caption.

Surgeons size the implant to the end of the corpora. Wherever that lands in the glans may differ based on individual anatomy, but they are aiming based on corpora not glans

Not sure. Some say that the implant would cover the length of the penis, others say it's up to the head only, and to expect decrease in size and possible floppy head. All LGXs and Infla10s that I talked to (4) say that had an increase in size. Most of CXs and Titans (3) say that there was no decrease.

One Titan implantee told me that there was marginal decrease (0.5") to his size but he was implanted by the surgeon that told me that there would be some. That's why I'm wondering about this and wish that one of the surgeons that's frequently mentioned here commented on it.

I think maybe the doctors who say they do that are either irresponsibly over-sizing their patients, or are telling you this because the functional purpose of the implant is to expand into the available area—and given individual variation in penile tissue, there's a chance that you might get some movement mildly into the outer edge of the glans. But generally, erosion risk is the main consideration for avoiding this, as far as I can tell.
