Study shows that all implants grow LGX does faster.

During the ten-year study period, 2.749 patients (1.532AMS 700LGX, 717AMS 700CX, and 500 Coloplast Titan) met the inclusion criteria (Table-1). Mean age at the time of first device placement (61 years) was similar between LGX and CX patients (p=0.37); age was not available for Titan patients. Mean time between implants was shorter for LGX (29 months), compared to CX (39 months) and Titan (48 months) patients (p <0.001). Mean initial length of LGX cylinders (19.7 cm) was shorter compared to CX (20.0 cm) and Titan (20.1 cm) (p <0.001) patients.LGX CX Titan

In 29 months the LGX grows just about as much longer as the CX does in 39 months and the Titan does in 48 months. So in 48 months 4 years the LGX grew an average of about 1cm 4 tenths of an inch. At that rate it would take more than 20 years to make the 25%. I'm 66 good luck with that. I'll stick with VED. 1 5/8" in less than 2 months.
