Penile surgery

Penile Surgery is achieved by cutting the suspensory ligaments that support the penis. Once these ligaments have been cut, part of the penile shaft (usually held within the body) drops forward and extends out, thus creating the illusion of a longer penis. After surgery, part of the postoperative treatment includes stretching of the penis to prevent the severed suspensory ligament from healing shorter than it was previously. Without continuous stretching the gains achieved through surgery are often lost. With a cost of $4,000 - $11,000, the seems like a rather large chance to take.

Increasing the girth of the penis relies on fat cells (usually from the patients abdomen) being transplanted (injected) around the penis. The procedure, known as fat transfer, bulks-up the penis and can increase the girth of the penis by 1 to 3 inches. One of the possible drawbacks is that the transplanted fat cells feel soft, somewhat like female breast tissue. Additionally, increases in the girth of the penis achieved this way can often disappear as the fat cells are reabsorbed back into the body. Sometimes, the re-absorption of the transplanted fat is uneven and the penis is left looking lumpy and unsightly.

A variant of the fat transfer method called “dermal transfer” may overcome the fat re-absorption problem. Dermal transfer uses strips of skin and fat together. The skin stops the fat from being re-absorbed into the body but because this procedure requires strips of skin and fat to be grafted onto the penis the surgery is more complex and the risk of disfigurement is much greater.

Penis lengthening procedures are quite different from the procedures used to increase the girth of the penis. The tissue in the penis that fills with blood is called the corpora cavernosa. This spongy tissue normally extends from the penis back into the body. In some cases, half of the corpora cavernosa may be "concealed" inside the body. Penis lengthening relies on releasing this concealed tissue which has the effect of increasing the length of the penis. Releasing the concealed part of the penis is done by cutting the suspensory ligaments that keep the corpora cavernosa anchored within the body. This moves the concealed part of the penis forward achieving additional penis length outside the body. This type of penis enlargement surgery can result in substantial flaccid size gains but sometimes only a small increase in the erect penis length.

The side effects of this penis lengthening surgery stem from the fact that with the suspensory ligament no longer anchored to the pubic bone, the penis is effectively “floating loose”. If the penis is flaccid this will not cause any problems but if the penis is erect then several problems may occur. Floating loose from the pubic bone, the erect penis can slip and shift around during sex. And without the suspensory ligament to hold it, erections can point downwards. Nowadays, more sophisticated surgical techniques mean that this can be minimized but the angle of erection is still likely to be reduced no matter how the surgery is carried out.

Warning! Penis Enlargement Sugery is not safe.
The American Urological Association does not presently consider the techniques involved with penile surgery to have been proven to be safe or effective. Whether the possible benefits out weigh the potential dangers is a question that can only be answered by the individual concerned. While surgery may be considered a valid option for those with documented medical conditions, it could be seen as a rather drastic solution in any other circumstance. For this reason, it is important to discuss with a physician whether such a procedure would be warranted and to understand exactly what would be entailed.

If you are like most people, these risks definitely outweigh the benefits of using a penis enlargement surgery. There are natural alternatives to using penis enlargement surgery that will benefit you, in most cases, greater than penis enlargement weights without the risks. Penis Enlargement Pills and Natural Enhancement Programs are among the most effective penile enlargement methods available. A combination of the two of these has been proven to give the greatest results, however, these products will work on their own. Consider these before you make the decision to go under the knife.
