But I was warned by my surgeon (Dr Eid) that I would lose girth. I was told I would end up 6.1”. Since I was told what to expect ahead of time I don’t share the same sense of disappointment. I chose the largest implant available to me on the market. I had a great surgeon. There is nothing else I could have done to have a larger girth so far.
It’s frustrating that Coloplast and AMS don’t make numerous widths. Even the Coloplast Titan XL is the same width. Just longer (24, 26, & 28cm).
You have a couple options to regain some girth. Injectable fillers, the penuma implant, or a revision with a Rigicon X.
The literature says the Titan’s maximum width is 17.8mm while the Rigicon X’s is 23mm. But the Rigicon is not yet available in the US. So if you are based here in the US you’d need to travel and likely pay out of pocket.
True, but paying out of pocket abroad is usually more affordable than USA. Also, it is likely rigicon X will be available in USA next year (or so they sat at Rigicon)
