Weak tunica causing girth increase?

This topic came up over on the FT forum as one of the guys being implanted by Dr. Eid had seen his penis increase in girth by around 3/4 of an inch over the years. This caught my eye, because after my last battle with Peyronie's in 2013-2015, I have seen my girth actually increase, by about half an inch. This is due to my right corpora expanding around the mid section (not at the base or near the glans) sort of in a football shape. To be fair, I was delighted to see an increase in girth, but now I'm quite concerned.

Dr. Eid told this patient that this is most likely due to a loss of elasticity in the tunica, which now balloons out much wider upon erection. He said this can be a challenge when implanting, as the implant (Titan) wants to fill this space, going wider, but unable to become as rigid as it should be. He said something like the LGX would struggle as it's not designed to fill that kind of girth. Thankfully, this poster seems to have had a good result with the Titan though, but with understandable girth loss.

My question is, have any of you experienced this tunica weakening and seen you girth expand over the years? It makes me very nervous, as I would assume this puts me at a greater risk of penile fracture if that area of the corpora is now weaker (or maybe loss of elasticity doesn't equate with loss of strength, I don't know).

Any experience, guys?
