Penis enlargement surgery has increased in popularity over the last several years. Many men who have previously opted for enhancement pills or exercises are now seeking longer lasting results. Penis enhancement surgery is the only permanent method for enlarging the penis. There are several different options for penis enhancement surgery, and each one has different advantages.
The most common type of surgery is penile lengthening. With this type of procedure, the penis is lengthened by approximately one to two inches. The procedure involves the surgeon cutting the ligaments holding the penis in its normal position. Part of the penis is located inside the body. The ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone is released when it’s severed. This allows the penis to descend and extend in a straighter direction. The extension brings more length to the penis. The surgeon will make a one inch incision in the lower abdominal area near the pubic hair, so no scar will be noticeable. To maximize the lengthening process, special weights or stretching instruments may be used for several months after the surgery. This brings more long-lasting results.
Other common enhancement surgeries are penile widening or the use of a dermal implant. These methods increases the girth of the penis. Fat or tissue from other areas of the body is injected or grafted into the penis to add to its width. The penis can then be formed and shaped until the desired effect is reached. Fat injection surgery can be unpredictable because the distribution of fat can produce an uneven surface. Many surgeons won’t approve this method unless there is a legitimate therapeutic need for it.
One of the least used forms of penis enlargement surgery is glanular enhancement. The glans, or head, of the penis is enhanced in order to give the penis a more symmetrical appearance. This method also involves fat injections or tissue grafting. Some surgeons may inject a gel-type substance into the glans as well. An increase of approximately 20% can be expected with this procedure.
The cost of penis enlargement surgery varies from practice to practice. The various procedures can cost $4,000.00 to over $15,000.00 depending on the doctor and the level of surgery that is required.
