Hi all.

I have a question about the implants. Let's say i am a "grower", and my flaccid stretched lenght is NOT equal to full erect lenght. I would probably end up with a way less long penis i had before surgery. My question is: why don't urologists induce a full erection, for example with injections, or with a VED, to measure the "real" lenght of the penis, and put in the equivalent prothesis?

for example, let's say i am 12 cm long when in flaccid stretched lenght and 17 cm long when in full erection. With a 12 cm prothesis if there's a scarring i would end up at something like 10-11 cm.. an unusable micropenis. If my prothesis is 17 cm and i lost something due to the surgery, i would end up at 14-15 cm, which is at least a normal penis.

So why do they take measures with flaccid stretched penis?

Are your current measures? 5 cm of difference? It seems to me a lot of difference between the two... Something you r measuring wrong, One reason about the difference can be the the swollen glans, you could add that to the flaccid stretched but 5 cm... definitely something wrong
how much your glans grows in erection state?

Yes these are my measures. I know, no one believes me but i can prove it. Some days the penis is more flexible and my stretched lenght while in flaccid state is about 14-15 cm, some others days i don't go over 12cm. i Don't know why..

In my particular case if i do a strong stretch my penis will be similar to my erect lentgh but when i ve been measured by doctors they stretch the penis very little and there if there is a difference about 2 cm or so with my erect lentgh, but 5 i think is a lot. Has a doctor (implant surgeon) measured you to see what he says?

You size after an implant has NOTHING to do with whether you are a shower or a grower.  An erection IS A STRETCHED FLACCID PENIS.  It is stretched by blood filling the chambers.  In 15 years I have never heard of a significant difference between a flaccid penis that is stretched by a hand, a traction device, a VED, or by a natural erection.  Something is not accurate about your measurements.

Next, a great high-volume surgeon measures you both by a manual stretch and will induce an erection with an injection and measure your erection.  A leading, high-volume, surgeon will promise you what your length will be before surgery.  You will end up with that length or possibly even a little more.

Most surgeons will not stretch your penis under great tension but most great, high-volume surgeons will also measure your erect penis.  A tunica has only so much give.  If a surgeon stretches you very tight there is a chance he can give you that much length, but you have to understand that you might get a little more girth to your penis and that would take up some of the tunica's ability to stretch.  A good honest surgeon will give you what he promises as a minimum.  You might get that length with a little more girth or you might get the same girth with a little more length.  If you are very fortunate and your tunica has the ability to stretch more over time you might find you have more over a period of several months but usually we are talking about 1 centimeter.

Just remember, an 8 inch (20.5 cm) penis that does not work or having an 8" penis that exists in your mind only is worth nothing.  Far better to have 4 3/4" penis (12cm) penis that can be rock hard and NEVER fail.

I really appreciate your comments, you're free to believe it or not, but that's the truth, and no, i didn't fail the measurements. I don't know why it happens, maybe i am really stretchable? Dunno. But, Hawk, did Dr. Eid induce an erection to you to do the measurement?

Dr. Eid did induce an erection for the purpose of a presurgery measurement and a Doppler sonogram but he also did a stretched flaccid measurement.

If you are really stretchable then you stretch when force is exerted.  It does no matter what that force is.  It could be saline in an implant.  It could be blood in your cavernosa.  It could be a manual tug with your hand.  If the tissue will not stretch under the force of a hand and an arm it will not stretch from a little bit of blood pressure build up.

If you cannot relate to this I don't know what to tell you as far as continuing to discuss this here except to post photos erect and manually stretched.  The best alternative is to see a good doctor.
