Well the implant will not provide a natural erections just the same way a vacuum pump works by forcefully stretch the tunica. My understanding is that the implant like a vacuum pump can stretch as much as the tunica allows.
Please allow a couple centimeters for the fact that the vacuum pump not only stretches the tunica but it also pulls your insides forward somewhat (which the implant definitely does not do). You will also get glans engorgement possibly more than your natural erection provides.
Both those mechanisms gave me about 3/4 inch (2 cm) more visible length to my penis inside the vacuum tube than my natural erection was or my implanted erection was for a year or more after surgery. After a couple of years, I have gained a millimeter or a few, but this may be due to loss of belly fat more than actual penile length.
What I am trying to say is that you should not expect larger dimensions after implant than you were able to achieve (with stimulation and drugs, but not by vacuum assist) the day before surgery. To expect more is to set yourself up for disappointment over unrealistic expectations. If you do get more, consider it a happy gift.
--Again Sheep is spot on...Aggressive pumping got me to almost 8" but my natural, BiMix injected and implanted length (15 months out) is 7.25
