I was 7.25 inches bone pressed pre op so again i think we may end up super close. Haha i measured now its 6.25 inches bone pressed. 6 inches at the base girth wise. I actually like this ipp. Deflation is easy with one touch. I cant tolerate long sessions yet- i get super sore as its super hard. Excited for us both. Our implants go up to about 25 cm so if our tissues allow, we should eventually get back to our preop sizes


Cycling on day 8. Wow... That's fast. How was the pain? Swelling? Were you infrapubic or penoscrotal?

I'm penoscrotal... Ive toyed with the idea of trying to pump but it's still too sore for me right now

Im your twin. Penoscrotal. Cycling daily now. Can only tolerate 20-25 minutes. Its very stiff. Tips are in mid glans although theyre off by about 2 mm if i feel the tips but it looks symmetrical. Its very rigid, points straight out for now. Im hitting 5.5 inches already midshaft and 6 inches at the base girthwise. Bpel is 6 inches. Hoping to regain back to at least 7 inches then ill be happy. Finding the deflate button can be challenging sometimes with the swelling i still have. Pumping i use two hands to hit max inflation. Im sure i have a ways to go with my 135 cc reservoir. I usually take ibuprofen or ketorolac before cycling. I get sore afterwards and ice for a few minutes. Itll be very interesting how we both end up brother considering were close in age, size and have the exact same device, measurement and even close surgery dates hahahha

Are we in the same universe or have some timelines crossed over?

Penuscrotal incision and cycling on day 8... That would be tomorrow for me. I'm gonna go into the hospital this week and see if I can get them to approve it for me.

How was the pain cycling that early?..

How did you find the drain removal? For me it was excruciating. When they pulled it out I felt like someone was slicing the inside of my scrotum with a breadknife. I don't know if thats normal but I don't think so. Its still sore now and makes me think cycling will be difficult until that improves.

I think I just got a 110ml resevoir. I didn't think rigicon made any bigger than that. How did you get 135?

Was there any change to your penis shape or orientation?

You know... Maybe if we'd have done just one more month of. VED we could have hit the max size without any RTEs!

Drain removal was easy. Did it myself. Maybe they didnt remove the negative suction in your case before they pulled thats why it hurt. Its not supposed to. At least thats over.

Shape wise -kinda tapered now. Wide at the base, narrow towards the glans. Its supposed to change as we cycle more. Im hitting 6 inches already at the base girth and 5.5 mid shaft- this early. Mind you i was already thick to begin with.

Rigicon does make 140 cc reservoirs. I saw it on the sheet or form as well. He said ill need the 135 cc because of my size and girth and to thank him later.

Cycling is not comfortable. I can only maintain it now for 20 minutes. Its super hard and ive never been this hard my whole life. I know im not even maxed out yet.

Haha excited for us both as were both young, have the length expanding model. It is already the thickest device currently on the market accdg to Hakky.

I measured 23-23.5. Hakky said he was not gonna use the 24 because proximally i was 10 cm and 13-13.5 distally. He said the tubing of the rigicon was not long enough for my inner corpora and i would end up with a high riding pump which is less ideal. He said he could have fitted a 24 cm titan in me easy.

But then he told me the rigicon goes up to 25 cm with the one we got. So were good.:) in the future when we get revised well be bigger for sure

Definitely sounds like the nurse ripped the drain out without stopping suction. That's exactly what it felt like. Absolute agony. That part of my scrotum is very tender now and makes me think it'll delay me being able to start cycling.

Im almost 6 inches at base but around 4.5 inches in the centre. That's gotta improve. Any change in your glans position? Angle? Curve?

I cant find anything to show rigicon making anything bigger than 110 resevoirs. This is on their ordering info page:
.
https://www.rigicon.com/ordering-inform ... prosthesis

It just lists the three sizes

INF10RS-65
65 ml

INF10RS-70
70 ml

INF10RS-110
110 ml

Then on their instructions page:
https://www.rigicon.com/files/e-labelin ... 10-IFU.pdf

Page 6 states:
“There are three different sizes of the Infla10® Reservoir; 65 ml, 70 ml, and 110 ml.”

Are you sure yours is 135? Where did your surgeon get that from?

How hard can you get it? Im apparently at 80% and it feels like an unopened tube of toothpaste. I can still bend it in different directions. I'm really hoping it's not 80% as I'm so small currently!

I wanna start cycling today but my scrotum is still so sore ffs

Im not sure where he got the 140 cc reservoir. It may be made specifically for the us market. I also thought their reservoirs only go up to 110. But i saw the sheet myself that he filled up for the trial and he ticked off the box of 140. Those other sizes were there too. On his op report he also mentioned 135. What size reservoir did you get? If you got 110 im sure youre good anyway.

Youre probably not 80 percent inflated. Those are all rough estimates. He told me i was 30 percent. Looking back i can say i was prob only 20 percent or less.

It gets super hard trust me. Like painful hard cause its so stiff.

Glans looks the same. Ive always pointed to the right slightly but its super straight. Angle for now is like 3 but thats supposed to improve based on what ive read. But 3 is perfectly fine for me.

And yes, do not measure now esp since you havent started cycling. My unit looked funny the first time i inflated. Nowadays, it looks better. Its bigger already than compared to 3 days ago. My flaccid is bigger already too. So, patience.:) theres a good chance we will at least make it to 6.5 inches minimum for length which is still above average, though im really hoping to get back to 7 inches length. Im less worried about girth at this time as my base girth is already back to normal.

Interesting. Maybe they were trialling the larger resevoirs out there. I got 110ml.

My dick looks totally different. Crooked, very thin, floppy glans, low angle. I did apparently have fibrosis though so perhaps that's why. There needs to be a lot of change that's for sure. I'll be cycling heavily, VED S's traction and I'll get a second opinion... Maybe MRI for peace of mind

What was your situation re fibrosis?

split we have exactly the same device. It seems strange that you lost so much of your original size. I was more or less the same and maybe gained 0.5 cm since surgery, and I was very late with cycling. I think you guys are much too early after so short time, your dick and balls are still full with trauma and I could not imagine to cycle after such a short time. Be aware the 10ax is not easy to deflate at all, if you are still swollen you will prolong your healing because I think you manage this only under painkillers and this again brushes over eventually other issues. Be patient my advice.
