Unfortunately, probably because of language barriers, i was not able to understand the actual answer to my question.

I am a grower, not a shower, so my penis is really "small" while in flaccid state. Even if you stretch it to the fullest, i don't reach my real measurements while in erection. I reach probably 14.5 cm (not bone pressed erect lenght) , but my real measurements are about 16cm not bone pressed erect lenght now that i have Peyronie's and, before Peyronies, they were 17.5/18cm not bone pressed erect lenght. So i would like to know if my flaccid penis WITH an implant is like 15cm, will i be able to reach, with time and cycles, my old 17-18cm lenght?

Thank you :D


It's a slim likelihood for the final implanted dimensions you seek. If you expect to get only 15 cm of implant without rear tip extenders, you will possibly be as much as 14 cm at most after you max out your length. I say this based on my anatomy:

I apparently have an almost non-existent crus or internal penile structure. Mine goes just about to my pubic bone but no further, so about 1-2 cm only. I have a 15cm implant without extenders, and the front tips stop about 0.5" before the tip of my glans.

My length is right around 14 cm but 1.27 cm is unsupported glans tissue so that's 12.73 cm of implant outside. the implant goes inside my body by 2.27 cm, or 0.893", just about to the pubic bone.

I have a 15cm implant and 14cm of external length and that's about the best I can ever expect due to my short or non-existent crus.

EDIT:
One caveat, I'm basing my statements above on the CX, with which is the only model I have experience. The LGX might give a bit more expansion if your tissues aren't irreparably locked into the shorter size.

BS claims that it can expand up to 20-25%. Is it a myth or a truth?

To be honest, it seems like an "exageration" to me: maybe it can expand up to 5-10%, but not more.. If this was real, wouldn't anyone solve their lenght/girth issues?

I mean, let's consider a guy with a 18cm penile lenght and 14cm girth in erection. If you implant him with a cilinder which is 15cm long and 11cm wide, he will basically get to his measurements if it expands up to 20%, and if it expands until 25% he can even get bigger!

Seems too good to be true. So, AMS700 LGX users: is this for real? Tell me your experiences, i'm really curious! Thanks!!! :D :D :D :D

EDIT: Sorry for my not-so-perfect english, i'm from Italy :P


I have the LGX. Went from 5.5 inches stretched when flaccid to 6.5 inches when pumped after a couple of months w/ regular cycling. Worked as advertised for me!


Wow bro! So you're bigger than before the implant?

It is difficult to answer your question. I was also a grower, and my flaccid penis is now much larger with the implant (I like that). I do see some significant expansion with pumping. I did NOT have peyronie's or scar tissue, so it is hard to compare your experience with mine. I think 20 percent is too much to expect but I suppose it is possible. Try to be happy with a functioning penis and, if it gets eventually gets bigger, that will be a bonus.

The 700lgx will expand out to the original size of your tunica and no more. The tunica does not stretch beyond your original size.

there is a very great video addressing the difference here:

Lost Sheep is correct. The “expansion” is from flaccid to erect. AMS uses this for men that don’t want a large flaccid.
You are not going to gain max size from your first inflation, to an inflation in two years.
If that was true, most men would insist on LGX to be more hung, not going to happen.

Freddyfree...you totally lost me, Bionic Bro. I have an LGX and I'm very unclear about what you wote. With the LGX, my post-op/recovery flaccid hangs 2-1/2 inches lower than did my biological penis. Fully pumped now, my erect penis measures (expansion) about 2 inches more than my flaccid.

I am not sure why. My nonpumped length is exactly the same with my lgx700 as my titan. 5.5 inches.

The only difference is my nonpumped is softer looking with the lgx, than the titan. It the exact same length non pumped. Pumped up they both give me a bone pressed over 6.5 inches. Horny and into it I get just over 6.75.

I started out right after my first implant around 5.5 to 6 pumped up. So they both did for me exactly the same pretty much.
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.

Guys i would like to say THANK YOU to everyone.

Unfortunately, probably due to language barriers, i didn't have the answer to my question. But as i said it's probably my fault, maybe i didn't explain myself properly. I'll try again.

I was, before Peyronie's disease, 18cm long in erection.

Now, since i lost 2 cm, i'm 16cm long in erection.

Ok, let's say i undergo an implant procedure. I will probably have a grafting procedure to remove the fibrotic area (peyronie's disease).

Let's say that my doctor puts a 24cm AMS LGX implant, with a proportion of 2:1, so 16 cm outside long implant and 8 cm inside.

Now, when i pump it up to the maximum, will i get the 20% expansion, reaching the 18cm lenght OUTSIDE the penis which i had before?
Furthermore, i would like to know if AMS LGX expands the 20% that BS declares, both in lenght AND IN GIRTH?

from what i understand, the lgx 21 cm becomes 21cm at maximum pressure, less than that, it is shorter than 21 cm (ie, the lgx mimcs a grower whereby the flacid is smaller). WIth titan, the difference between flacid and erect is not that much in terms of length. Of course, a 22cmm titan will be exactly that--22cm

The video I referenced above discusse this somewhat.

The titan girth is bigger than the AMS products.

For me, I wanted as big a girth as possible, (my wife was interested in maxing the girth), so for me, it absolutely had to be titan from perspective of bigger girth (the AMS diameter is 18mm, the titan diameter is 21 mm).

I have stated this over and over:
"my titan is a beast of a sex machine" I wanted a girthy penis, everything else (dog ears and a flacid that is not perfect) is secondary. "I did not get the implant to have a great flacid" (note, if a great lacid is key for you, then yes, AMS is a better more natural flacid)

Some surgeons state that the LGX is not as good as the AMS CX since the mesh of LGX is weaker, which allows it's expansile properties; so some prefer to implant CX since it might , in theory, last longer.

Finally, please realize that penile implant is a "penis hardening procedure" . One must NEVER assume that it is a "penis lengthening procedure"
