Shower or grower which group loses after implant?
I am wondering if there is a correlation between being a grower and size loss. I somehow would suspect that growers get "undersized" or at least not really stretched to the max. Any thoughts?

Re: Shower or grower which group loses after implant?
I see your reasoning here, I worried about it myself.
Don't worry.
I was a grower, I'm now a shower, I've recovered my size and gained a wee bit.
Being a shower is great. I think you only appreciate it if you were a grower before.

I was defiantly a grower, less then an inch flaccid, 5.5" erect. I love being a shower! 4+" now flaccid
. I had a great surgeon!

Did you get circumcised too? That's an amazing difference in your flaccid appearance.

I think he means in the erect state. I see his point. I think the less difference between flaccid and erect state before implant the less difference between erect length pre- and pist-implant.
Maybe use a ved just before surgery.

The whole point of inflatables was to avoid this problem; that and erosion.

Neither has size loss issues after an implant. Not with VED use pre-surgery to restore any losses caused by erectile dysfunction, not with effective exercises post-surgery.
And you're inventing this concept. I think you can learn what you need to in these messages I had with my urologist.
Start from the bottom and read to the top:

How I interpret that - they measured by stretched flaccid. That plus underneath my pubic bone = 24 cm (9.45"). So, they stuck a 24cm implant in there.
The fact that I was ~4.8" flaccid before has nothing to do with it. Neither would it if I was 2" flaccid before. Or 7" before. But I am a bit over 7" flaccid now, which is pretty dope.

Re: Shower or grower which group loses after implant?
I don’t see any correlation in my case.
Before surgery, I was a big-time grower. From a flaccid which ranged from 2.5” to 3.7” depending on mood, temperature, barometric pressure maybe…..I would grow to 6.8” fully erect.
After surgery, my flaccid is more like 5 1/4” or 5 1/2”. It doesn’t look bizarre. It just let you la like I’m one of those guys with a big dick. Note: that doesn’t hurt my feelings. Erect, here lately the ruler tells me I’ve crept up on 6 3/4”.
Going from 6.8” to 6.75” can’t be considered a loss. On the contrary, I see it as success.
From consult to surgery was 14 days. I did no VED or stretching beforehand. I’m not doing anything special post surgery except cycle and use the hell out of it.
I’ve not heard any showers complaining of loss. The key is realistic expectations. My surgeon eon flat out said “this won’t make your larger. Success is defined as looking like you did before surgery.” Or words to that effect.

No, had a partial circumcision at birth. I can pull the skin over or it will go over by it self. I like the look of the head exposed since it never was all my life except when erect. I hated my turtle dick!
