Hakky and erosion?

Dr. Clavell did my surgery. He used the LGX and it turned out fantastic! Ask and you shall receive.

A doc has three choices of what they want to do

You forgot the most important and most likely choice.

Go ahead and take your BPFSL measurement. Did you pull hard or gently? Did you use 5 lbs of force or 15 lbs? The surgeon has complete control over his measuring technique and because of the flexibility of a penis, there is probably a multi-cm difference between gently inserting the dilator and pushing firmly. I am certain this is the majority of the variation we see between guys who gain a little vs lose a little.

Hakky wont upsize past what your anatomy will allow. He always inflates the device in you before he wakes you up. If it wont inflate deflate correctly, hell remove the device. Upsizing is just a technical term the surgeons use when they add maybe 1-2 cm past the measurement. For a titan cylinder, its easier for him to upsize. For a device that already increases in length by design— he sized me to my exact measurement as he knew the device would increase by 2 cm. But it all depends on your tissue. In a young guy, its more possible. In an older man with a lot of fibrosis, upsizing is going to be hard. Now for revision, he almost always is able to upsize. He is one amazing surgeon and human being. Youll never go wrong with him.

The number of cases is so small we might never hear from one who had it with hakky and also is a regular here.

From what we know of erosion, however, it shouldn’t be related to whether you are upsized or not. It seems to have more to do with either natural physiology or lack of rest essentially. Malleables are far more prone because they never retract to give the tips a chance to heal from any strain put on them.

Also realize that when girth is factored in, since there is so much variation in natural girth, the majority of us are by definition oversized and this is what makes the penis get firm at our given size. Also consider how many dudes regain an inch or two of atrophy… these guys are all experiencing gradual success from “upsizing.”

I believe his reputation stems from being reliable at sizing properly, however, not necessarily that he sizes “riskily.” I am tempted to look to him for revisions when necessary, but after proper VED use pre-surgery, Clavell’s sizing had me exactly the same length post-op and at about 6 months I am almost 1/4” longer than I was ever naturally.

For what it's worth, my surgeon told me that the erosion risk between MPP and IPP is virtually identical, and that it has more to do with the subtleties of sizing and placement.
