How deep Is the implant in your glans in flaccid state?

Postby epicjohn » Wed Jul 01, 2020 8:11 pm

Hello, I know we already discussed that topic a lot but I just would like to hear some more informations. I will get full inflated the first time next week, at the moment I’m still only 20% inflated. I still have problems because I think I’m undersized with my small Titan (20+1 RTE).My current size in 10% inflation is 4,72 inch and before op I was erect 6,69. The End tips of my implant is at something like 40%-50% of my glans. But I read a lot that for the best size people have the implant placed like 3/4, I mean at 70%-80% in the glans. Would love to hear some experiences and opinions.

Great Question. I started cycling mine this week and the tips are just below my glans (likely due to the fact they aren’t engorged atm).

In my opinion, more than 80% into the glans is risking erosion. Very bad. Very very bad.

How far your Tunica Albuinea extends into your glans should be the determining factor controlling how far the tips extend into your glans. In other words, the tips of the implant should extend fully into your Tunica and no further. If you have a lot of glans in front of your tunica before implant, you should expect that same "lot of glans" in front of the implant-filled tunica as well. And no more.

When the implant is placed, the surgeon measures the length of your tunica albuginea (up into the glans and down into the crus) and adds those measurement together. This is the ideal length of the implant. A surgeon may apply some judgement as to how aggressively he pushes the measuring tool into your glans or down into your crus. A timid surgeon will almost certainly leave you undersized by a little bit. Also, a conservative surgeon may rely on the fact that an (I know you have a Titan, but I am being thorough) LGX lengthens when inflated and leave you a little undersized and depend on the lengthening to extend the tips into the glans.

Thanks, this helps a lot to understand the way implanted should be placed in the glans. But what is your personal experience? How much % are the tips in your glans and what do other people experience?
Of course I can’t look inside my penis and tell you the excact length of my tunica albuginea, but is there a risk of undersizement or floppy glans if my implant is placed at only 40-50% in my glans?

A little less than halfway up the head in the right… The left goes do you about an inch and a half before the glans even starts…

My tips are just below coronal line when deflated and go about half way into glans when fully inflated.

I haven't had opportunities to measure other guys.:lol:

I was able to feel the tips of my tunica when I was extremely erect (before the implant). I was fortunate enough to start being observant before that went away. It took a lot of stimulation and pharmaceutical help, but 50-60% as I recall. With the tips of my tunica being pushed forward by the implant, they seem to be about the same.

I talked to my surgeon about "aggressively sizing" my penis (and a lot of other subjects) before selecting him.

Thank you. I never talked with my surgeon about aggressively sizing but I’m sure that he tried to do his best. But would you say that 40% in glans in flaccid state could result in a floppy glans? And are the tips going to extend more in the glans when it comes to a full pumping of the implant?

Other men have reported that the extent to which the tips extend into their glans when erect is greater than they extend when flaccid. That makes sense, especially with the LGX, which expands in length a bit when inflated. Maybe less of that effect with the Coloplast, but you will soon see. Besides, you may have had only 40% insertion of your tunica into your glans before E.D., maybe. If so, then you are sized as aggressively as you dare. (My opinion, and realize that I am not a medical professional of any sort.)

My tips with the lgx sit just above my where the head of my penis starts. When inflated they are about 60 percent up in the tip.
18 cm plus 1 rte titan installed March 2019. Revision March 2020 by Dr. Andrew Todd, Richmond KY. He replaced the titan with an AMS 700 LGX 18 cm cylinder plus 2 rte for 20 cm total length.
