Distal Measurement/Proximal Measurement/BPEL Measurement

[stewie77]

I think it would beneficial if newly implanted and Veterans shared their Distal/Proximal/BPEL/Type of Implant/Date of Implant

Feel free to ddop any cycling tips and tricks.

Is distal size the same as visible penis size?

no. your visual is the BPEL...bone pressed ERECT (Your penis is aroused) Length

Distal is what the doctor measured for implant.

thanks for shaing!

Stewie, My details are below. Just curious, what is your purpose with this survey? The distal and proximal measurements are only surgical reference points from the incision, which has variable placement. They often cause confusion because guys think distal represents the actual penis length. It doesn't. For example distal doesn't fully account for the glans length as the cylinder tips don't go all the way to the end. And the surgical incision could be an inch up the penis shaft from the base, especially for a penoscrotal approach.

Proximal 10 cm
BPEL 6.5 inches

Your implant and distal/proximal measurements are longer than mine but my BPEL is longer. I think it's difficult to make any predictions based on distal/proximal etc as individual anatomies vary widely. For example some guys have a deep crus relative to the distal length and vice versa.

Tips etc for cycling. I've found the Perito exercise to be useful. My surgeon has his own take on it by holding the penis at each of the cardinal compass points for about 30 seconds. After 16 months I have reached the point of the bulb going soft when pumped really hard. Perito can give me a few more pumps and make me even harder.

Also recently I accidentally discovered a "trick" with my MS pump. When it goes soft I very briefly press deflate and release a small amount of fluid. Then quickly pump again and it gives more pumps with an increase in pressure over the previous level. Not recommending anyone try it but it seems to work for me.

Distal and proximal measurements are not going to be apples to apples across patients, because a lot depends on incision location. That said mine are:

14cm / 14cm / 8.5” / Coloplast Titan 28cm / October 21, 2025

Agreed with ElbowRoom. The distal and proximal measurements in the surgical report are how the surgeon determines the total length of your corporal bodies. Add them up, and they are equal to the length of the implant plus RTEs they put inside you. But they don’t bear a relationship to your dick length. Most guys have a BPEL that is 2/3 to 3/4 of their total implant size, while the distal/proximal measurements from surgery are usually closer to 50/50.

Can you expect that the measured distal length + gland length, will become your approx penis size after implant?

E.g. distal length is 10 cm and gland length is 3 cm, then you get a visible penis after implant of 13 cm?
