Any tips for maximizing size after surgery?

Do take it easy - you could delay your recovery by overdoing. Get in the recliner, use some Tylenol and ice packs, and let nature take her course.

I agree. Stay home and rest!

thanks for your input guys. If I stay in bed till my follow uo Tuesday but go and look at an apartment tomorrow do you think that would be a big deal?

Here's a response I received from my doc on this question:

"Thank you for your questions. In regards to penile length, we recommend standing in front of a mirror and placing your penis in full stretch then coming back about a half inch. This is the length you can expect after surgery. Use of a vacuum erection device would be fine prior to surgery. If increased length is something you are interested we would recommend penile traction. A device we often recommend is from andromedical.com called the Andro Penis."

That's shortchanging you a half inch. Barring any scarring/peyronies a skilled surgeon should be able to size you exactly at your stretched length

For those of you who bring up the scarring/Peyronies situation...a quick question for you.

I have Peyronies myself, at 22 years old, last time I went to my peyronies specialist my plaque was not too big and my peyronies does NOT cause curvature in any bit. I do have congenial curvature slightly upward though. And the peyronies does cause me to have a slight hourglass effect near the right base.

Hypothetically, in the future, if I were to need an implant, why wouldn't the urologist (already planning/preparing that I would probably go to Kramer in Maryland) be able to get me at my stretched flaccid length if my Peyronies does not cause severe curvature?

I ask because like one of the posters pointed out, my penis is near 5-5.25 inches hard when erect, and I am trying my hardest to keep it as long and strong as possible! Thanks
