Penis Enlargement Surgery

Surgery offers an expensive but a permanent solution for enlargement of the penis. Through surgery, the penis can be visually enlarged, usually by just over an inch. The surgeon will cut the ligaments that hold the penis in its usual position and this allows the penis to descend. Weights, or stretching devices, are then used for a few months to effect a permanent increase in size. The procedure may result in scar tissue, the erection will point down, and the base of the penis will be hairy.

Current surgical technique cannot actually lengthen the corporal bodies of the penis. This is because the core of the penis consists of a matrix of smooth muscle and vasculature surrounded by a tough elastic envelope. These corporal bodies are then actually complicated or intricate vascular organs that expand and lengthen ad the vessels and sinuses within fill with blood during an erection. There is no known surgical material that can actually lengthen these corporal bodies. However, surgery can reposition the corporal bodies such that the penis may “appear” longer than its flaccid state. On erection however, the positional change brought about by surgery no longer results in any increase length perceived or otherwise.

Another surgical technique is known as a dermal implant. Girth and length can be increased by transplanting fat cells from other parts of the body to the penis. As the size of head of the penis cannot be increased the results can be visually rather odd.

Some men have the connective tissue at the top of their penis cut, which does not actually enlarge the penis, but does cause it to jut further out from the body. Of course, having less support, your penis may not stand up as far from your body as it did previous to the surgery.

Sometimes the distribution of the grafted cells results in clumping and a gives a far from smooth result. Many Urologists will not perform this type of surgery unless there are good therapeutic reasons.

Cost of Surgical Enlargement of the Penis

Costs for this type of surgery, be it penile lengthening, widening or enhancement, ranges from $4000 to $5000 dollars and up to $17000.

Post Operative Complications and Penis Enlargement

As with any form of surgery there are a number of potential risks both psychological and physical.

The results of penis enhancement surgery do not satisfy everyone. This is partly because the hope such procedures will cure, or be the answer to a problem, are often not fulfilled.

Post operative infections

Damage to surrounding tissue and nerves
