I’m not sure what those circumstances would be. In an implanted guy the size of their erect dick is dependent on the size of the implant that was put in them. That in turn is the size of their corpora cavernosa as measured on the operating table. The size of your corpora at that time is the limiting factor in the size of the implant, and the size of the implant is the limiting factor on your dick size.
What we perceive as “loss in size” following implantation and “gaining in size” during cycling is really just the implant and our anatomy getting used to each other. Nothing changes physically during that period… your corpora remains the same length, as does the implant.
What accounts for the massive amount of hand wringing over size is men’s *perceptions* of what their size once was or should be. Whether you perceive your dick as gaining or shrinking post implantation (once it has had a chance to settle in, of course) is purely a matter of perception, because your corpora and the implant *do not change*. All the actual studies on this show men largely are the same size before and after, with some showing modest losses and some (notably ones where subjects underwent a cycling protocol) showing modest gains. But we are talking about less than a centimeter either way, usually significantly less.
To be clear, we are only talking about length. There is good evidence implants can increase girth with cycling.
