Hard to answer. I've heard of a price around $8,000USD for the implant. But at least in the USA it gets more complicated. Most medical items like an implant are not sold to average people. I've even heard that if an implant is removed during a revision that it must be returned to the manufacturer.
I'm not sure the direction that your question is leading. But if you're thinking of paying cash to get a revision for a larger model of implant. I'm guessing that it would cost the full amount again. Having an extra implant in the cabinet at home won't do much good for you.
Having said all of that. Medical costs are not the same world wide. Things cost more in the more affluent countries like North America & Europe.
A little more info might get more answers from other members.

Yes, the surgeon told me that after 2-5 years he can do a revision to implant normal size implant. I would have to pay out of pocket.

I know that the price is only disclosed to doctors or middlemen. But would somebody know by any chance more precise figure for each device?

You don't say what country that you're in. In America it is almost impossible to find out "real" prices. The insurance companies negotiate discounts with literally every organization in the field. As such, the final price is considered a bargaining secret that you will never find out. You'll have to accept the $8,000 amount as the best info that you'll get.
There might be some rebates back to the surgeon but I'm sure that it is secret also. I asked my urologist what his fee was for my circumcision. I wanted it done a certain way. If it needed to be done over I wanted to get an idea of how much money was at risk. He didn't know what his own fee was. I sat in his office with him while he called his billing department to find out the fee.

Status update, I am waiting for my week 4 mark to be activated by Dr. I tried it a few times myself though :D.

Do you think this placement of tips marked by red line in glans is ok and I won't have a floppy head? There are 2 - 3,5 cm, depending on erection of glans that might not be supported.

I'm obviously no expert, but I'd assume with an LGX it would expand lengthwise to support the glans.
With CX or Titan, I don't know. I guess you'll find out.

Here is my two months update:

There does not seem to much length gains. The length is about 5.75 - 6.5 inch depending on arousal so I am about 0.25-0.75 inch shorter for now. I guess that it is mostly due to the fact that the right side or corpora was fibrotic and the surgeons could only implant AMS CXR. I am looking forward for a replacement in the future, though.

I had sex two times, both it was painful and could not reach orgasm. My surgeon told me that the pain should be gone in 3 months post op.

He told me that he used 14+6cm RTE due to the fact that the RTEs are from an ams cx model (wider than the implant) and if the used 18/16 cm CXR implant it would move within the corpora and I would be dissatisfied with the stability.

When were you pain free during sex?

What is the soonest you can go for a full revision? I do not mean infection.
