Many devices and pills offer instant penis enlargement with “guaranteed success”. Chances are though, if a man is truly unhappy with the length of his penis, he will need to consider penis lengthening surgery. About Penis Lengthening Up to one third of the length of the penis is actually inside the body. It is attached to the pubic bone on the underside by two ligaments known as the fundiform and suspensory ligaments. The suspensory ligament is on the top of the penis and the fundiform ligament is on the bottom. Surgical penis lengthening will involve the release or disconnection of the suspensory ligament from the pubic bone. This allows the penis to protrude on a path that is directly ahead giving the patient the appearance of a longer penis. Penis lengthening techniques have been used since the 1970’s and have been successful at lengthening the penis in cases of congenital abnormality, trauma, cancer or a condition known as “Peyronie’s disease” which causes the penis to constrict or bend. Recovery from Surgery to Lengthen your Penis Following penis lengthening surgery, the penis and scrotum will be sore for several weeks. Swelling and discomfort are also common and most patients are advised to rest for several days before returning to normal activity. Care should be taken to follow the post operative instructions to minimize the risk of infection and to ensure the maximum success. Some cosmetic surgeons recommend that post penis enhancement surgical patients wear a specially designed dressing equipped with weights to continue to lengthen the penis. The main focus of penis lengthening is the removal of the tendon that...
Penile implant surgery is becoming a more acceptable plastic surgical procedure. Whether it is for surgical penile enhancement or for a penile dysfunction such as erectile dysfunction (ED), the procedure has become easier to perform and more successful in achieving beneficial results. Types of Penile Implant Surgery Penile Dysfunction Several medical conditions can cause the penis to lose the ability to become erect. In past years, this was often a depressing condition because it meant the end of a man’s sexual activity. Erectile dysfunction can develop due to medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes or prostate difficulties. Medications can also cause erectile dysfunction as can prostate surgery. Other conditions such as injury can sometimes cause the loss of the ability to achieve an erection and may invoke the need to have testicular implants as well. The penis is the symbol of manhood just as the breasts are the symbol of womanhood. Up until the availability of penile implant surgery, ED would often elicit a similar psychological response to women who lose their breasts through breast cancer. Surgical penile implant procedures can restore the ability of men to predictably achieve and sustain an erection allowing for resumed sexual activity. Though some men with erectile dysfunction may achieve satisfactory results with use of a medication such as Viagra or Levitra or with the use of a vacuum type penis pump, some men will continue to be unable to achieve an erection and are in need of a penile implant. Penile prosthetics placed for causes of penile dysfunction can be done with cylinders that inflate with air or fluid or...
Phalloplasty is a surgical procedure used to form the penis. It may be performed to surgically enlarge the penis by either length or girth or to repair a damaged male sexual organ in the case of injury, trauma or medical condition. Phalloplasty also refers to the new construction of a penis in cases of gender reassignment surgery from female to male. If you are a person considering phalloplasty, there are a number of issues to consider. Who Can Benefit from Phalloplasty Surgery?

Phalloplasty to increase the length of the penis may result in up to 2 inch gain and nearly all men will see an increase of at least 1 inch. Penis enhancement may increase the girth or width of the organ by up to 50% though most are in the range of 30%. How is Penile Enlargement Surgery Performed? Phallus plastic surgery performed for cosmetic and performance reasons uses either skin tissue from a donor site on the body or skin from a tissue bank to increase the size of the penis. It may also involve fat transfer from elsewhere in the body, such as: –Alloderm uses tissue donated from tissue...
