The Lowdown On Penis Enlargement Surgery

If you’ve tried all the products for penis enlargement out there, but still you get zero results, then it’s probably time to go to the extremes. Penis enlargement surgery, or enhancement phalloplasty, may be the way to go for you, if you have enough cash and are willing to endure the procedure. So how does this surgery help you get a larger penis? Read on.

One of the initial fears of persons undergoing penis enlargement surgery is the irreversible damage or the possible side effects. While this is true for the most part, experts today have come up with ways to improve the procedure, hence lessening the fearful consequences of the surgery. Before any patient undergoes the procedure, he is first assessed by a health professional to determine his fitness. Any ongoing medical condition may be detrimental to the patient if he chooses to continue.

There are generally two types of penis enlargement surgery procedures. One is for increasing the length of the shaft, while the other is for increasing the girth of the penis. Other alternative surgical methods are also being done, such as penile implants. These methods are often recommended for men with erectile dysfunction.

If the patient chooses to have a longer penis, the surgery involves cutting the suspensory ligaments that hold the penis close to the body. This causes the penis to hang down lower, making it appear longer. Once the ligaments are cut, the penis is gradually and periodically stretched so the shaft is longer when the ligaments heal. Stretching devices are often used after the operation. If stretching is not done correctly, the ligaments will repair normally, and the penis will retain its old length.

What are the effects and results of lengthening surgery? A study conducted on patients who have had this surgery found out that almost 70% of the men were unhappy with the results. The change in penis length was not exactly as dramatic as expected. Furthermore, since the ligaments have been cut, the penis becomes more prone to injury. The angle of the erection may also be adversely affected.

Girth enhancement involves injecting the penis with a material, usually silicone or fat from the patient, to achieve a larger penis. Fat is taken from the thighs or buttocks of the patient by liposuction, and injected into the spongy tissue of the penis. Another method is by grafting dermal fat from other body parts, and implanting them in the penis. These dermal fat tissues will heal and fuse with existing tissues in the penis, hence making it larger.

A common problem encountered by men who undergo this procedure is that when fat is injected into the penis, it eventually gets reabsorbed by the body. Taking tissues from other body parts also requires recovery time for those tissues. However, more men are satisfied with results of girth enhancement surgery as compared to lengthening surgery.

According to medical practitioners, there is no complete guarantee that penis enhancement surgery is safe. As of today, these procedures may cost anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000.
