I understand that changing languages is difficult. Especially when conversing in technical subjects. I'll be happy to try again. Let's start with this.
Please be aware that most members have their surgeries done in North America. If you go to YouTube & search for videos of Dr. Kramer. It shows how he measures for the implant length. The video is disturbing. The measuring tool is inserted very forcefully. This assures the doctor gets the longest measurement possible. In America this method is called "aggressive sizing". Please remember that most members on this forum have been implanted using this method.
Did your doctor ever tell you how he sized you? Did he use a word in your language that means something like aggressive?
Does he read or write English or did he study under a fellow doctor that does? Most technical journals are published in English first. Other common languages later. Some languages never get translated. He might be using sizing methods that are old, before the aggressive sizing method was developed.
Did he seem to truly care about you getting a penis of your original size?
These are some of the things that you need to know before you can decide what your final results might be. I hope that this information helps you.

Thanks again.

My Dr didn't tell me the technic he use to size (maybe I will ask him next visit). He is one of the most experienced doctors in implants in Spain, if not the most. He has been implanting for 25 years, and he does 2 implants a week, about 100 every year at least. So I think he is using modern technics. I suppose he truly care about my size, I made much stress and emphasis in that point, showing him the size was one of my biggest concerns, because I am not a very sized guy, and I cannot take the luxury of lose much. When I stated that, he streched my flaccid pennis, took the measurement and told me that ii would be my size after implant.

And, how true is this? Is frequent ending with more than that? Less? Is that assumption somehow conservative to protect the pacients from high expectations?

In the huge experience that resides in this forum, what is the reality about that premise?
Thanks

The confusion of translation. Let me clarify what I said. Surgeons do the stretch test & say that is your likely after implant length. Most guys will accept this because they watched him do it.
I think that a better version for you is that the doctor is only saying that is about your size after the surgery. It is most likely not your final length after a year of stretching.
If the doctor was to guess your final size then he would be on the phone all day with patients asking where their size is. If they match the stretch length then they don't complain every day. After time they likely will be happy that they grew longer than the stretch test.
I'm guessing that by the 1 year time. If you compare your length. That you'll be satisfied.

I only can say: thank you again. It is what i supposed. The lengh of the pennis cannot be the same in flaccid streched than erected, because tissues expand with the pressure from inside, not by the pull from outside. Is like a globe: You can strech a globe to a certain point without break it, but if you inflate de globe with air from inside, the size will be much much bigger.

And yes, it is comprehensive the doctor give that conservative prediction. On the one hand, they won't be overhelmed with questions like 'where is that size you tell'. On the other, if the patient assumes that it would be the size, everything that comes after will be considered as a gift, despite finally he doesn't regain his original '17 years full erected' size.

Thats my case. The doctor said I will end with 10 cm. Now I am a kind of frustrated because my 9,8. If in the future I end with 10,5, I will be happy regarding not have regained my original 17 years full erection 12-13'.

Now I have understood.

One day I am going to review many threads and take note of all that terms and acronyms all of you use and I don't understand, and I am going to ask people to explain them. :D

Thank you Lost Sheep. I have read it and know I have more understanding of some items. But there is much more. Is the colloquial jergon natives use that people with learnt english hardly understand. Whenever I see one, I will ask.
