Not sure if you guys watch Dr. Clavell on Youtube, but I just finished one of his videos where he said that most surgeons recommend patients start cycling right away, but he goes against the grain and recommends waiting 3 weeks.
His reasoning was horrible though. It basically boiled down to "because my patients are silly geese." Since I'm not a silly goose, now I'm wondering about the flip side of the coin. What's most surgeons' reasoning for advising to cycle asap?
What's the benefit of cycling right away after surgery?

Re: What's the benefit of cycling right away after surgery?
The reason Clavell, Eid and others recommend immediate (day 3, if possible) cycling is because as the penis heals over deflated cylinders, scar tissue forms. This can lead to shortening. Early, regular cycling prevents this, allowing the tissue to begin to stretch. Early cycling also allows the cylinders to shift around and settle in place.
It is imperative that the cylinders can be deflated, however. So, if the deflation button/bars cannot be easily felt and pressed, then one should wait before cycling.
