I could be mistaken, but those who are asked to pull downwards on the pump post-surgery for proper positioning were implanted using the infrapubic surgical approach, rather than penoscrotal, or one of the other half dozen methods.
My surgery was penoscrotal and my specialist never informed me directly, or through post-operative written instructions, to pull on the pump.
Hope this helps you in some meaningful way.


I was implanted penoscrotal and my surgeon highly-encouraged me to pull down on it to position it.

7 months post op my pump sits comfortably between the boys, but more to the left with the bulb hanging slightly lower than my balls. Deflate button faces forward. I don't recall how much pulling I did. but it wasn't much due to the initial pain after, but it seems to be fine where it is.

I moved mine around day 1, didn’t want it attaching anywhere. I pulled down a little as well, but the placement was fine/ no need for it to be lower.

Mine was also infrapubic. My doctor advised me to pull it down once or twice a day starting at 2 weeks post op, until My 6 week check-up. Everything healed up nicely. Do whatever your doctor suggests, IMO.
