A question about the stretch test

Postby impotentredditor » Fri Aug 31, 2018 3:31 am

For those whose doctors performed the stretch test prior to operation, on them, how hard did the doctor pull ? Did they pull it very hard until the penis wouldn't stretch anymore, or was it just a light tug ?

I had the stretch test done by two implanters(high volume of implants), to give me an estimate of what I would get with the implant. And they stretch very little or almost nothing. I could stretch far more than they did.

I was surprised

My doc stretched tight, but not to the point of it being painful for me. My feeling is they are only giving you an approximation and by erroring on the shorter side it gets that in your mindset and if you end up larger you are happy.

Also, you have to keep in mind when you stretch your penis very tight there is very little girth left. The implant cylinders take up space so perhaps the tightest stretch is not reality.

He did not stretch as tight as I could. If I risked impaling my pubic bone with a ruler and pulling the very tip of the head of my penis off, I could stretch to 7 1/4 inches.

Realistically I was hoping for 6 1/2 or a 32nd more just so I could say I was over 6 1/2" :)

Dr. Eid got 6 1/4" BUT he promised me at least that and I have that at week 3 when fully deflated. I should have inflated measurements soon but the angle of my inflation makes it difficult to measure. My guess is very close to 6 1/2"
