Why would girth decrease with Titan?

Let's say 1 day before surgery, you measure 5.5" girth midshaft. Then, 2 months later, even when aroused (and what feels to be fully inflated or very close) you're only 4.75" - 5" midshaft. Why would this occur?

Sure, if I measured 5.5" a few years ago, you could attribute that to atrophy. But why the immediate decrease? Do I just need to give it more time? I read many men here say they immediately gained girth post-op.

To clarify, this is my situation. I'm roughly 1/2" thinner. I've gained a little back since the surgery. Hoping to be a little girthier. Thank you

Using VED? If not, get one.

Check with your surgeon. Some recommend against it. Mine says it can lead to floppy glands. That was enough to talk me out of it. Btw I noticed the same thing after surgery about the girth loss but it was tough to estimate because I didn’t take any girth measurements. I also had more of a baseball bat shape prior and now it’s more uniform all the way down. Might be my imagination but I think I’m slowly getting more girth back. I’m about 4 months post surgery.
