Concerns about sizing
Can anyone who is a grower here give me some feedback on this one. Had consultation before surgery today with a surgeon who did the stretch flaccid test which came out at around 15cm - however as a grower I have previously measured myself at almost 8 inches. I’m a bit worried about the potential for being undersized / floppy glands. The surgeon said he had a tool he used in surgery to dilate the penis and get a correct measurement but based on this experience I’m concerned he is going to under size me.
Mid 20’s. Titan 22 cm + 1.5cm RTE. All good so far.

Re: Concerns about sizing
Can you get a second opinion? I would be hesitant to go into surgery with any doubts in my head. I myself was 100% confident in my surgeon. I would hate to hear that you went all the way through surgery and we’re not satisfied, especially with doubts prior

Can you get 8" now? If you lost size over a long period of time it might be permanent. Recently lost size can be regained through the judicious use of vacuum therapy, but long-lost size is more problematic.
If you can get 8" now, you might ask your surgeon to test you again with oral , suppository or injected medications to prove to him your size and acquaint him with your concerns empirically.
Whatever size you can get presently, you may be stuck with.
V.E.D. (Vacuum Erection Device) protocols to restore lost size generally require 60 days for effectiveness. The greatest gains occurring in the first two-three weeks.

Re: Concerns about sizing
Keep in mind though, measurements while under the effect of a VED are exaggerated. You will have some mild swelling associated with extra fluid in the head and shaft so both girth and length may be accentuated a bit when using a vacuum device. That is not the actual length of the tunica underneath the surface.
