I just remember the Dr right after the surgery saying X amount in CM were inside and X amount were in my actual penile shaft (something to that effect) and the CM inside the shaft equated to 5.25 inches ..... but i'll get back to you with more details ASAP.
Hi MarkJack,
Those two measurements would likely have been the surgical proximal (internal) length and distal (external) length of the implant but measured from the incision point, as Leto explained. Those two numbers added together should equal the length of your implant including any RTEs. But the distal length doesn't translate into the external length of your erect penis.
Plenty of good advice already to continue your rehab so I won't add to that. But I couldn't tell from the previous posts how you are measuring. Because everyone has different depth of pubic fat pad its usual practice to measure "bone pressed" to get a more accurate and consistent result. Press down with a ruler until it is firm on the pubic bone and take that measurement. I've found that since I've had my implant and been cycling for many months, my pubic fat pad gets pulled forward by the implant when it inflates. That didn't happen pre implant/ED and I don't have much fat. It can give a slightly shorter appearance, but measured bone pressed I'm definitely back to pre ED size, maybe even a little more.
p.s. Once you have all the relevant details can you please fill out your signature?
It really helps everyone provide better answers if we know some background and stats.
See mine or others for examples.
