Size After Surgery (for those considering an implant)
Posted: Sat Jan 02, 2021 1:57 am
Hey everybody - I had a Titan implanted a little over four weeks ago. I’m still recovering, the first two weeks were really painful but ever since then recovery has been a straight line with improvement every day. I have my post-op next week to inflate it for the first time.
I am 31 and have been dealing with ED my entire life. Pills and injections never consistently worked for me, and I spent over ten years searching for a solution and coming up empty. After being diagnosed with venous leak earlier this year, I decided it was time to stop taking half measures and get an implant.
I wanted to share one experience I’ve had that I think anyone considering having an implant done would benefit from hearing. When you first get out of surgery, your dick is going to look sooo bad to you. I was devastated seeing mine in the recovery room; I felt like I had lost two inches of length, and the unfamiliar appearance of the cylinders made it look hideous to me. For the entire first two weeks I was convinced my surgeon had somehow botched the procedure; I wondered if I’d made a terrible mistake by having the surgery.
Then, a couple of things happened. First, I discovered that my corpus spongiosum was still working to engorge the glans, with very little noticeable change in appearance when aroused. This happened even without having inflated yet, and was an enormous relief for me, both physically and visually. The engorgement of the spongiosum also made the penis appear more round and normal, instead of oddly ovular and flat at the bottom.
Second, the swelling surrounding the penis went down considerably. This really makes a huge difference in your perception of its size relative to your body. Today, I am really happy with how everything looks. Having a much larger “flaccid” state is an adjustment, but also visually very satisfying. Again, I have yet to inflate the implant, but when I’ve measured it deflated with my glans engorged I’ve found that I’m only about 1/2” shorter than my previous fully erect length (which I very rarely obtained). It’s possible I will get that back just from inflating, but if not from what I’ve read I most likely will regain most of it in the first year from cycling the implant. Regardless, I will still be happy with the results even if I somehow did not gain any further length.
I have always had a ton of girth, and that seems to more or less have stayed about the same. Can’t tell for sure how big I will be able to get there until inflating, though. I will post some pictures if people are interested to show the final result once I am able to inflate.
Anyway - my advice to everyone considering an implant is don’t freak out initially like I did. It’s not gonna be pretty at first, but ultimately I think you’ll be pleased with how it turns out.
