17 day post-op STATS
FL: 3.5" pre-op, 4.5" post-op --> 1" gain
FG: 3" pre-op, 4.5" post-op (technically 2.9 and 4.4 but I'm rounding) --> 1.5" gain (!!)
EL: 5" pre-op, no change post-op (see commentary)
EG: 4" pre-op, 5" post-op --> 1" gain

Observations
You can see my incision is lower than @skiman 's, and actually it is lower than almost everyone who gets this surgery. Apparently I have a unique bone structure so he had to go lower. It looks kinda gross right now because I just got my stitches out and Dr. Liu had to dig in there a bit for some stubborn stitches. I'm not worried about the healing here because the skin is so thick. Once healed, I doubt it will be noticeable.

GIRTH - The gain has been pretty impressive. 1.5" flaccid & 1" erect is significant for a single procedure. Assumingly, since Alloderm does not produce gains as significant as Surgimend, this means Dr. Liu used fat for the difference. Fat absorbs within the first few weeks or months so this may change, although at the same time collagen will grow. Dr. Liu says he it will keep getting bigger, and he does 5-6 of these procedures per week (!!) so I do trust he knows what he's talking about. We shall see...

LENGTH - As you can see, I had a significant increase in flaccid length with the lig cut, but no observable increase in erect length at this point. Of course, this is a common criticism of ligament cutting, but others say gaining erect length is possible. Couple thoughts here... one, my erection quality is still not great, and given that I can't masturbate until day 35-40 I haven't really been pushing the limits here. So, there could be a bit of length I'm just not seeing right now. Also, I still have areas of swelling and tenderness - still healing for sure. After things are more healed and I've started using weights, we may see a difference... only time will tell. I will say though, having the extra flaccid length has been pretty great along with the increased girth. I love being able to see a bulge in my shorts & undies when I'm walking around and I doubt this would be the case had I not done the lig cut - more so it would just be short and stumpy. So while I remain hopeful I can realize some erect length, I'm a happy camper regardless. For sure though I am likely now more of a shower than a grower.

Other observations:

• Still have some swelling in the scrotum area near the base and it feels tender. My balls like to hide unless I work to relax the area
• I also feel swelling and a bit of firmness at the base near the incision. I'm working this out gently with my shaping exercises
• Overall feel of shaft is still a bit 'rubbery' but this should change as the Alloderm & fat vascularize/absorb
  
• I have an annoying little clump of fat on my underside toward the scrotum... probably from wrapping the bandage too tight immediately after. I'm working to break this up by aggressively pinching it and hope it resolves on its own as the fat absorbs. If not, will need Dr. Liu to help as is does mess with erection aesthetics. Not sure if anyone has experienced this... I welcome any advise.

BTW - I've really appreciated how responsive Dr. Liu has been in the aftercare. They use an app for messaging which he personally monitors, and you're supposed to send photos regularly. It's like being able to text my doctor every time I have a question -- great to calm any post-op anxiety!! lol

Overall I continue to be extremely happy with this investment. I'm excited for the continued healing, and eventually, to put it in action... As you can imagine, on day 17 of no sex or masturbation, right now I want to peg pretty much anything that walks.
