Making the change from an AMS LGX700 to a Titan

[wolfpacker]

I'd try injectable temporary filler for girth enhancement to see if that fixes your issue to your satisfaction, before going under the knife again while you still have a working implant. A number of doctors do the filler injections, however they are mostly plastic surgeons and don't have experience with penile implants, rather I'm sure most of their patients do not have implants.

BUT there is one doctor who offers the filler injections who is very experienced with implants... Dr Hakky. He injects the filler in your shaft and it will stay there for roughly 1-1.5 years. The cost is $5,000 and you can expect to gain about 0.5" girth. It is easily reversible if you don't like the look. There are more permanent filler products that you can research on other forums, but this would be a good start to see if you are satisfied with the shape of your dick after the girth enhancement filler.

Thanks Merrix so much for your in-depth response. It certainly gives me something to think about. I guess I do need to really weigh this all up but your analysis that the Titan will push cyclinders closer together is exactly what the Urologist told me.

Thanks also Wolfpacker for your suggestions about a filler. I hadn't considered that at all and didn't realise it was an option. It is very expensive it seems and 18 months is not long, but I certainly like the idea of not going through unpredictable surgery and girth/shape has really been my issue whilst the other things are less of a concern. Its an idea I will really start researching now.

Having read a lot of posts now, I realise most people conclude that the Titan provides more girth but this comes at a cost of it's less comfortable flaccid state, whilst the LGX700 provides a good flaccid soft state but girth is often a problem.

I wonder if the AMS CX is an answer then? ie it expands in girth but may be more flaccid than a Titan???

Is it safe to use a VED after getting the Titan implant to improve roundness of girth?

Use it everyday with mine!!!

Thanks for all your responses guys.

I accept many people here notice their oval shape and I can deal with a bit of of an oval. I accept an implant is never a perfect solution. It's just in my case I lost a lot of girth and its very flat. I would not really call it oval as much as more towards "rectangle". Obviously as the edges of the penis are cylinders the penis does not have complete corners but it is really frustratinging flat and thin. Because I only had a venous leak issue (ie blood outflow being the problem rather than inflow), I could get full erections the day I went into surgery so I know how long and wide I was. The problem with the leak was the erection could not be maintained without constant friction.

In terms of post surgery, I came out of it knowing I'd lost a fair bit of length and a lot of girth. Over the last 4 years of painful stretching I have gained about 1.5 inches in length (now about 5.5" long) but the girth has remained very thin. At flaccid I'm literally about 1 inch only but with max pumping (ie about 65 pumps) I get this extremely flat dick thats about 4.5" wide and a strange shape.

I know of another patient who went to the same surgeon and complained about the very same issue - ie he was noticeably thinner afterwards. I'm thinking aloud here and may be way off the mark, but I wonder if its something to do with the surgeon cutting the cyclinder holes too large so that there is very little tissue left and the expanded width of the cylinders is literally the entire width of the whole penis? I do feel the cylinders are very hard through the outer skin.

I went and saw the most prominent implant surgeon in my country who told me that over time with a Titan, he believed the width of the cylinders would expand and they'd push together in the centre more. He said he thought this would probably remove some of the flatness and give me back some girth. He said the Titan width was only limited by the tissue in the penis where as the LGX doesn't expand more than its max width. Finally he said he'd also be able to instal the tubing further into my body (by not using RTE's but longer cylinders) so some of the existing tubing that is slightly jutting out isn't hurting during sex from impact with it.

I accept a lot of the feedback in this thread is that I may not derive as much as a benefit as I'm hoping to. I'm grateful for all your advice and would like to receive as much advice from you guys as I can. You guys are right that I need to carefully consider whether its worth going under the knife and post op complication risk if there is little benefit.

Cheers

SuperReverb - I was reading your December 16 post about the dimensions of your erect penis. You mentioned it being 1" flaccid but expanding to 4.5" inches wide when inflated. Am I reading that correctly? That sounds incredibly wide.

SuperReverb - Or did you mean 4.5" in circumference?

I was implanted with a titan 9/21. I had horrible atrophy (shrinkage) permanently that I can promise after titan, my flaccid dick sometimes gets in the way. I gained girth and obvious hardness with titan and if I do say so myself a natural and pretty good looking circumcised dick now both flaccid and erect. My wife says that before she was able to take it all when doing oral and now she can not. She loves the extra girth on penetration and she’s 100% satisfied with the implant and I am as well. Much more important than looks and all my ego was severely bruised prior to the implant. My mental health now is great. I’m glad I get to satisfy my wife again. Good luck with your revision.

I have a titan and it’s 6 inches flaccid. Fully pumped, I’m
Hitting just under 7. So only a .75 increase from flaccid. All in all, I don’t mind it, but I do have to be careful what pants I wear and where. No khakis for me. Gray sweatpants only to be worn with caution. I’m still a little pissed about losing length, but I think that was from years of ED and not the implant itself. I believe my doc did everything possible to maximize what the was working with.



quote="SuperReverb"]Hi guys

This is my first post and am looking for some info regarding the Titan.

I was installed with an AMS LGX in late 2017. I had a number of difficulties with it but my main concern was and still is the shape. It's extremely “flat” rather than round or spherical. I lost a lot of girth, which was awful, but the flatness is something I could never get used to.

I’ve now seen a high volume implant surgeon who has told me he thinks having a revision with a Titan should address issues with the flat dick I have (i.e. by increasing the girth and roundness) plus it may resolve some other issues I have with tubing sticking too far out.

The only thing I’m confused about is the lengthening issue between an AMS700 and the Titan. My LGX in its flaccid state is very short (literally about 3 inches) but lengthens about another 2 inches when inflating to max. On the other hand, I understand the Titan doesn’t change in length when inflated. So does that mean with a Titan you permanently have a full-length dick sitting in your underwear? Isn’t that uncomfortable? For example, if a guy was well endowed (not me!), would he possibly be sitting with a full 8 inches in his pants permanently when flaccid and unable to deflate length at all when not “using” it? Does a Titan ever get flaccid and is it comfortable in underwear when not in use?

Also, I’m circumcised and always felt that the only way to stop the glans chaffing on underwear was to position my flaccid dick sideways so some of the remaining foreskin was used as a cushion from the underwear. Would you guys imagine this to be a problem if my impending Titan is always at its full length and therefore the forsekin is down and full glans are exposed?

I’m sorry if I’m not explaining this well but would love to get your insights.[/quote]

I have a titan otr, 24cm. My dick is noticeably flatter (to me) compared to before ED. That being said, my partners have never noticed or said anything.

[tomas1]

I would think that if flatness is a problem with an LGX, the Titan would be even wider and probably as flat.
With a CX, I have around 5 1/2" flaccid, but I don't have a problem with it showing. I wonder (but don't remember) how it looks in a swimsuit. I've only gone out in my own pool with it.
