Lgx question.

[bigkernel]

I was implanted abroad 3 weeks ago and was told to cycle I one more week here. I just did a follow up with a urologist here that wasn't in support of the surgery. He said everything's fine. The implant is currently partially inflated, but doesn't seat in the glands. I asked if the implant would lengthen and seat in the glands when inflated and he said the lgx doesn't lengthen. Anyone with the lgx, is that true? I was told my implant could potentially lengthen 4 cm and that when inflated it would seat I'm my glands at least.

the LGX does expand but depends on your tunica tissue. It will take time with cycling to see the expansion happen.

In terms of how it sits in the glans - you would need to inflate it up all much as you can to see. If placed improperly you can have a floppy glans

Right, so if I'm at 50 percent, and I inflate all the way it should lengthen and seat at least I hoping?

Not true in my experience. I have an LGX and coming up to 12 months post op. The LGX device itself can expand up to a point and is marketed as such. By how much is always up for debate. How far it can expand inside an actual penis depends on how much your internal tissue (tunica albuginea) can stretch with it. Once the device is pumped to the limits of your tunica it will stop expanding. You might feel more pressure if you continue pumping, but your dick won't elongate further in either length or girth, unless you can stretch your tunica further from regular cycling. Tunica expansion potential can be affected by things like how long you had ED, and whether there is any shortening from penile atrophy due to loss of nocturnal erections. If you were able to do pre op stretching with a VED, it can help reverse that depending on duration of ED and other factors, and enable implantation of the longest cylinders suitable for your anatomy.

Assuming you were sized and implanted correctly there is potential for recovering your pre op size. But it takes time and regular cycling. I was much shorter post op, maybe 4.5 inches to 5 inches BPEL. I started cycling my LGX at 6 weeks twice a day in a hot shower for 10-15 minutes. As soon as I could tolerate it I added a third session on as many days as possible. Initially 20-30 minutes but eventually for over an hour. At maybe just over 3 months I was pretty much back to my pre ED length/girth. But I continued to have tiny incremental gains after that. I'm a believer in regular aggressive cycling and still do it now.

At 3 weeks it's far too early to say if your glans position is correct. Initially I thought my cylinder tips were not far enough in, but now they are about halfway in when I'm flaccid and well over 3/4 when erect. Try not too worry about what a non-implant urologist told you about the LGX properties, but do keep up a good cycling regime.

Right, thank you. My question is more that the length currently doesn't support the glans at all. They are floppy. When inflated more will the implant support them? I feel I may have been undersized.

With cycling very likely it will eventually support the glans, but no one can give you a guarantee. Based on my personal experience 3 weeks is too early to make a call that you are undersized. From memory my tips were barely inside the glans in the beginning, and the head was definitely floppy, but not hanging down. Now my glans is soft but very well supported, especially when erect. I have pretty aggressive pounding sex for up to an hour several times a week with no issues. If you are really concerned, or the glans looks abnormal in addition to being floppy, I would get an appointment with an experienced implant surgeon, not a general urologist.

Ok. I guess only time will tell. The tips of the implant currently are sitting easily half a centimeter below the glans currently. There is no support at all

The LGX does lengthen, but in what way has a very technical answer. I first got a 21cm LGX with 3cm rear tip extender. 6 months after getting it, if the surgeon would have yanked it out of my penis, would it have measured at some different, larger size? It'd all of a sudden be a 26 or 27cm LGX?

No. But, in a longer time frame viewed in a very specific way...kinda. I'm not smart enough to produce the reasons why myself, but I do overuse ChatGBT and believe whatever it says, and I had a really long conversation with it about this topic of LGXs are capable of increasing size in a way where we agreed both of us were 100% right.

I said LGX can increase penis length by 1, 2, or 3cm, and girth by about 2cm (if girth starting under 5.5"). ChatGBT said no. I said I have proof. I never once measured mine, stretched flaccid or erection, at 9" or larger before in my life (if I had, you'd probably find tons of records online of me bragging about my 9 inch dick, lol). But now...I have more than enough photographic proof that it does reach those sizes. I wasn't 9" before. After exactly 11 months of lots of exercising, cycling, VED use, Perito's THE exercise, I became 9" or larger when measured about fully inflated without much arousal. And if I'm looking for my max measure where I swear of no cheating how men bend over a bit and never stand completely straight-up....like, seriously, lol. Everyone lies about that shit. Or doesn't even realize. Fucking stand up straight and discover your actual size right now...learn much?? There I get to 9.5" at its peak, and if I'm finding stretch flaccid and pulling very hard, 9.5" was my peak there too. I think I could have gotten a 9"+ measured supine (laying on back on bed). And that'd have for real provided it, but not positive I thought it to try with LGX.

Seems pretty clear I proved LGX did make my dick longer (girth smaller though, grr).

How is this possible? Well, the reasons why is a complicated answer. It's because the anatomical size of my tunica did not literally increase in size because it got an implant. However, the stretch capacity of my penis did increase. Basically, it can stretch further. Because of the elasticity of this device. And that's actually the only thing that matters. You could inflate it and expand it making it go deeper in her vagina (or ass, if that's your thing). Or, if you stretch flaccid longer if you stretch...obviously. The LGX is a very elastic device that can do this.

And if you want to read a much more authoritative confirmation of these facts, here's how I learned it:

My question:

in the past we discussed if my penile implant had truly increased the size of my penis and you first disagreed but we settled. remind me?

Where we started

I initially pushed back on the idea that a penile implant literally makes the penis anatomically larger in the sense of creating new tissue or permanently exceeding your historical maximum.

That’s because, strictly speaking, organs don’t gain new intrinsic size the way muscle hypertrophy works.

Where we landed (the agreement)

We ultimately agreed on a more precise and correct distinction:

1. Anatomical size vs. usable size

Anatomical penis length (what the organ is capable of in absolute biological terms) does not meaningfully increase beyond its lifelong potential.

Usable / functional size absolutely can increase with an implant.

2. What the implant actually does

An implant (especially something like an LGX or Titan) + cycling/VED:

Restores length lost to fibrosis, disuse, ED, aging, Peyronie’s

Allows you to reliably access your full size every time

Keeps tissues expanded during sex, not just momentarily (as with ICI or max stretch)

So while you didn’t “grow a new penis,” you ended up using a larger penis in real life than you could before the implant.

3. Why both sides were technically right

I was right in a strict anatomical / biological sense

You were right in the only sense that actually matters to men:

what size the penis is during sex, consistently, without tricks

The settled conclusion (this is the key line)

Your implant did not violate biology by creating new permanent tissue — but it absolutely increased your real-world, functional, usable penis size, which is the metric that matters.

That’s where we agreed, and it’s the most accurate framing.

So, at the start of this reply I said if after 6 months my 21cm + 3cm implant wouldn't be a 27cm if a doctor yanked it out. If it's been over a year of proper exercise, if he pulls it out, fills at as full as possible with saline, maybe pulls it a bit apart other ways too...it would've been some amount longer than 24cm.

Here's an entire reply I made recently with more details about the elasticity of the LGX and how that compares it to the Titan. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=27818&p=268730&hilit=ChatGBT#p268730

I don't know about the implant not being in your glans yet. I think mine was? Are they supposed to be? All I can say is I think there's a million reasons any man would have concerned this long after getting an implant, but the devices have come a very long way, and maybe most importantly, the ability to fix any real problems is super easy, and probably free if necessary. Good luck!

Thanks, I just payed 18000$ cad for my surgery. My team isn't answering my messages. My urologist here wouldn't answer any questions today and refused any follow up. The head of my penis flops to the right, though my implant isn't currently fully inflated. If this is easy to fix I doubt anyone will help me do it. It certainly won't be free.
