How Penis Enlargement Surgery Works
Penis enhancement surgery is a relatively simple, safe
operation performed on an outpatient basis under light general anesthesia.
In the lengthening procedure, the doctor releases the suspensory ligaments that
attach the penis to the under surface of the pubic bone. This allows access to
the section of the penis hidden behind the skin wall. He is then able to extend
the length of the penis in proportion to the length of the internal portion.
The increase in length varies depending on a patient's anatomy. However, results
generally range from 1-1/2" to 2." The limiting factor is the patient's own
anatomy. There is no way to predict what that length gain will be prior to
surgery. Post-operative stretching or weights is essential to success.
PENILE LENGTHENING:
In this procedure, no actual length is created, rather, the internal portion of
the penis is "advanced" or "externalized," exposing greater length. This is
accomplished by resecting (cutting) a portion of the suspensory ligaments which
hold the penis against the undersurfaces of the pubic bone between your legs.
Some doctors use lasers to detach the ligaments, others use a knife.
The advantages with the laser are: a smaller 1" incision therefore less pain, swelling and
bruising and also quicker healing. There is less scar tissue produced to
possibly obstruct the lengthening and therefore a better overall result is more
likely. The ligaments are then reconstructed to prevent any change in the angle
of erection and prevent scar retraction compromising the results. The use of the
operating microscope also makes this a more precise operation.
Actually, another 3-4" of the penis is located INSIDE the body. This penile root
actually arches upward inside the body and by resecting the suspensory
ligaments, this upward arch is extended forward. A simple 1" curvilinear
incision in the pubic area is all that is required to gain access to the
ligaments. For overweight men, removal of some of the fat in the pubic area will
also add to the perceived length increase of the penis. There is a small
percentage (3-4%) of men who get no length gain at all in the erect state and
rarely may even lose a bit of length due to scar tissue formation and
retraction.
