I could see a slight difference just with what I was pumped up after surgery. I was able to cycle for about a week before things went south but was very aware of the girth difference between the 20cm and the 24cm.
Anxiously waiting to see how this one goes! Good luck on your revision and can’t wait to see how both of our 24s compare to previous size.
Actually, the left side gained 4 cm. However, saying I gained 3 cm overall is probably more accurate since the right cylinder determined my measurable length. I always felt my first implant was slightly undersized, and having a full centimeter trimmed from the left cylinder was too much.
I was sent home about 70% inflated from revision surgery and have to stay that way for 5 weeks — I still have another week to go with a 24/7 boner. Visually, my revision girth does appear larger, like you mentioned. Although, according to Coloplast specs, the XL series cylinders have the same expanded 21 mm diameter as the 20–22 cm lengths. I guess time will tell where everything settles. For now, I’m just looking forward to being deflated and starting the cycling journey.
How is your recovery from the salvage surgery going?
