Length recovery: is it better to always be partially inflated or to cycle fully?

[jakerip]

"pre surgery from titan failure" so you mean, you got half inch more with lgx, than you had back in the day with the titan? If I understood you correctly, that would confirm the LGX claims that it makes your penis longer.

I don't think the length expansion from the LGX is too much in dispute. However, it's also widely accepted that the LGX has less axial rigidity than either a Titan or CX implant. So you might be a hair longer with the LGX, but have a less hard penis. So that's a trade-off, there's no free lunch. A guy with a small penis might be willing to trade some stiffness to gain some length, whereas a guy who's happy with his length my want the hardest penis he can get.

I would say with the Rigicon 10 AX, the axial rigidity is poor, but it doesn't affect the hardness of the inflated penis. Pumped to max is more than hard enough. However, it doesn't hold firm at the base, so the angle hangs at about 4 o'clock and is moved pretty easily up and down. That has its pros though.

I actually do think it is in dispute, I've seen it claimed many times in the forum, and even by doctors, that the LGX doesn't give you any real extra length, and that it is only useful if you are undersized. That if you are properly sized you will get the same final result. However, this is very difficult to prove unless the same person has had both the titan AND the LGX, which is very rare. I guess that's the only way to compare apples to apples.

I do wonder if I understood @wilson correctly that he gained half an inch over the titan when he switched.

Jakerip, I think the angle might depend a bit on what was your natural angle pre-surgery, I had always an upward angle about 2:00 and I roughly keep the same when fully inflated (not if partially inflated). However my penis is way smaller than yours so that might play a role as well

Thanks Wilson! Did you gain 1/2 compared to immediately post op, or compared to pre op?
And how long did it take you to get there?

Also I am curious to ask you, since you had titan and lgx. Which of the two gave you the best penis size, or in the end was exactly the same? Do you notice any difference between the two implants? In terms of stiffness, comfort, time to inflate, etc.

Yes, I gained a 1/2" after the Titan replacement with the LGX. The LGX is a great implant, actually they all are if your pecker doesn't work. Someone posted about Rigicon and I know they are not in the USA yet with their IPP but it looks interesting as well. I had reached out to them before my revision last year and said that their IPP should be on the market this time this year in the USA.

Wow I'm actually surprised, I know the LGX is supposed to expand in length, but it's the first time i see someone who actually had a titan for many years, later changed to lgx, and still gained more length.

About girth, do you have same girth with lgx than titan? Or did you gain that length at the cost of losing girth?

[wilsonmill]

Girth remains the same, I think the Titan expansion got my girth, the LGX fills it all up.

I typically put in 3 pumps in the morning, that gets me through the day with out any dog ears, for sleeping I deflate completely.
I had small gains for over a year with cycling, but my implant surgery was not typical because of delays caused by revision and infections, so my cycling didn’t start for several months. This fact may have impacted recovery time?

Hey Guys, just curious if anyone has done any research or personal field testing.

I am wondering if it's better for length to be always partially inflated, let's say 50% and keep it 24/7 like this. OR to inflate 100% till tears are coming down your face for a short time and then deflate fully.

Anyone has any insights on that?

Perito did not have me inflate from day 1. From what I read on here many are inflated post surgery. The only thing he told me to do was after cycling to empty out then pump one time and leave it be. I cycled twice a day for 15-20 minutes for one year and today 2 years in all is very well.
