Hi, so my proximal and distal measurements are both 11cm. Does that mean I'm looking at a 5 inch erection?


Bigkernel, here are my measurements, I was 10cm proximal and 11cm distal.
I got the AMS LGX 18cm with 3cm rear tips. The LGX expands in length 25%.
When I first started cycling my implant at 6 weeks, I was barely 5 inches, bone pressed.
After 6 months, I was at 6.25 inches bone pressed.

I never measured my dick when I was younger with a raging hard on, but it looks close to my old dick.

It takes some healing time to get more blood flow back to your glans which gives you more length when you’re fully aroused.

I would say that you would be right in the ballpark with my current length once you have cycled for 6 months to a year.

I still cycle my implant daily in the shower to keep everything stretched.

I think you’ll be surprised what your length will be after 6 months.

Also, I'm measuring 5 inches now. At 60% inflation. So that's a good sign right?


Way too early to make any kinds of conclusions. Your tissues might need the better part of a year to fully recover! But you got the hard part done (pun intended).

Bigkernal, when you say natural, do you mean flaccid or inflated?
After surgery you’re definitely gonna be smaller until you start cycling and start stretching things out.

Natural was the length I was able to achieve on 28th before my surgery. I think I was just panicking when I saw my surgical papers. 11cm distal with the lgx is taken in non erect state. So 11+2.75+ 3cm glans. That makes more sense to me.

Day 4: day 3 was pretty rough, lots of doubts. I'm going to try and hope for the best today. Now that my distal measurements make sense I feel a little more confident in the outcome. My dressing was changed and healing looked like it was coming along good. My surgeons assistant assured me that the head of my penis wasn't losing blood and sensitivity is still there so that's really good. Bruising was fairly severe. My balls looked horrible. Thank you to everyone that help me through yesterday. With all the tried and failed attempts to correct this problem it's hard for my brain to not assume the worst about this as well. I woke up and the power is out at the hotel, but I woke up which means I slept lol. Peeing in the dark was extra hard as the wash seems to be my biggest problem with this whole thing. Can't wait to shower Tuesday. I've been washing in the sink but it's not the same.

bigkernel, hope things are continuing to get better -- especially getting the power back on. Recovery is hard enough without having to navigate in the dark :( I think most guys go thru days of doubt during the early part of recovery. Good luck with the shower tomorrow. Hang in there !

Day 6: So, the bandages are finely off and I got to have a nice shower. Everything seems good at the incision site. My balls are bruised and the size of a grape fruit, but I've been assured that's normal. My pain today is moderate, but tolerable. A couple things that concern me are the angle and the base of the glands seem unstable. I've been told I'm only at 70% inflation, so I'm assuming the length expansion will kick in once I pump and extend into the glands to give enough stability for penetration? Also, the angle seems to stick out to the right, I'm hoping it straightens out once pumped, does anyone know about that? The length to my surprise is just over 6 inches which I'm quite happy with. The girth is still rather unimpressive, but it's not pumped so I'm trying not to worry just yet. This things a rollercoaster to go through, but it seems to be coming along
