This revision will hopefully address the tubing that's bunched up beneath the left side of my shaft. I'm hoping this shorter surgery won't trigger an infection or additional size loss - if it did, I honestly don't know if I could bring myself to be intimate again.
After my first surgery, I lost roughly an inch in length. The panic from that loss drove me to get a revision three months later, upgrading to a length-expanding model. In hindsight, this may have been premature. Despite the longer cylinders and length-expansion, I've experienced what appears to be another inch of length loss plus significant girth reduction - enough that I've avoided intimacy entirely since.
I suspect the culprit is cumulative scar tissue from multiple procedures. I'm no expert, but I have a theory: men who maintain their size through multiple revisions may have been "showers" originally - their erect size didn't depend heavily on tunica expansion. For "growers" like myself, who relied on significant tunica stretching for erections, each surgery seems to generate scar tissue that limits that expansion capacity, resulting in progressively smaller erect dimensions.
Pray for me.
Hang in there! hopefully recovery is going well. Revisions are never fun and anxiety provoking.
Thanks mate. I’m only 3 days out from surgery and I think my mind is playing tricks on me. I came out of surgery feeling 50% inflated and now my implant feels completely deflated. Really hoping this isn’t a leak.
Hey, buddy! I have the LGX and, yes, it took about a year of consistent cycling to get all my length back. So don’t freak out. You have to be patient. Don’t think about jumping straight back into sex; you’ll get there. Just focus on cycling. You should start to see significant gains around 8 months once the swelling fully goes down. Much like yourself, I was freaked out about everything. You’ll be fine.
