I had been using a vacuum device more to prevent atrophy than to add length. About 5x/wk for a few months prior to the implant. The vacuum seemed to add about 1/4", but that's more likely due to it just sucking everything out, as opposed to the penis just naturally resting on the inside.
56. RARP for prostate cancer in Feb. 17, then no-go with pills, injections, vacuum, so here I am. Titan 20cm by Dr. Eid on 8/6/19, cycling on Day 4, stitches out Day 14, sex with a grateful wife on Day 20. And 21, 22, 23, etc.

For more than a year while I sought out authorization and selected a surgeon.
Regained some of the little that I was beginning to lose.
60 days is the recommended minimum, twice daily.

Re: Vacuum Device
I also used the VED daily before surgery.
It kept me from losing anything.

Re: Vacuum Device
I used a VED for about 3 months prior to implant. I'd had many years of atrophy, and I believe it was a major factor in my not losing any length. My doctor recommended 4 times/day for at least 2 months. 20 minutes each session.
I marked the ved tube with a permanent marker when I started and I gained over an inch and a quarter inside the tube. Final implant size was not as long as I was in the ved, which is typical from what I've read here, but the stretching allowed a longer implant to be used. Very happy with the result.

Re: Vacuum Device
I did before and have read it is now recommended after by B.S. I have also tried it after and I can see how it might help maximize size. Research it.

Re: Vacuum Device
I'm scheduled for implant in September and I told my doctor I'd been pumping daily 1-2 times a day since I was given the go ahead after my robotic prostate procedure in Aug 2017. He said that's exactly what I should be doing leading up to this procedure.

Re: Vacuum Device
I didn't use a VED at all, and lost no length after surgery.

Re: Vacuum Device
VED therapy before and after and strong recommendation for hydro type of VED!!!
I used a hydro pump pre-op, about twice a week, and, at three months post-op, started using it again about 1-2 times a week.
I cannot recommend enough the hydro style pump versus the air vacuum pump. I have used both. With the air pump, you can easily warp or disfigure the skin as it can become quite loose. It eventually recovers but not a pretty site when it happens. This never happens with the hydro pump as you cannot pump out the water to the point of damage.
I feel the 1-2 times a week pumping, post-op, will help against natural shrinkage. I can actually inflate fully, then VED pump for a few minutes, and then inflate a squeeze or two more.
I know the hydro pumps are more expensive but avoiding the stretched, loose skin and possible permanent damage is so worth it, IMO.
Don't use VED with the expectation of having a penis longer than you had at your longest, naturally, but I feel it could be good toward maintaining your best post-op.
good luck!
