Hey all I’m 17 days post op and am about 5.5” fully erect where as I was about 6.5” fully erect before surgery. Just wondering if anyone had a similar issue and if size will come back completely. A little anxious about this lol

This is not unusal after the operation. I wouldn't panic, keep calm and don't read articles on google. See your medical professional for your follow up. Even if an amendment was to be made it would need to heal up before another revision.

Ps. Im 6 weeks post op and in the same boat. I've read alot of forums here and guys did return to normal, with alot saying they took 8 weeks before it was normal.

Ok thanks man ! Jheeez 8 weeks eh hopefully we’re both happy with the results soon!

An apparent shortening of the penis is reasonably common. Of course it is, in reality, no shorter than it was. This can be due to swelling and/or the need for the penis skin to get used to its new situation and stretch. Both processes will vary from man to man Give it time to get there - and that can be months.

Same happened to me.I'm at about 14 days post and lost 2cm.

People say it comes back and even if not, well, certainly wouldn't be great but I could live with it.

I understand the concern....it may take a while for your body to recognize it’s new self. There may be some subconscious holdback preventing full erection. The further out you are you should see a slight change potentially
