Penis
Enlargement Surgery
I would only recommend talking to your doctor about
penile implants or surgery strictly as a last resort,
and I really stress the "only as a last resort"
part. However for those interested, we have posted some
information about Penis Surgery Information below.
How Surgery works?
In the lengthening procedure, the doctor releases the
suspensory ligaments that attach the penis to the under
surface of the pubic bone allowing access to the section
of the penis hidden behind the skin wall. There is actually
about an inch of the corpora (the three tubes that make
up the inside of the penis) in the body, he is then
able to lengthen the penis in proportion to the length
of the internal portion. The penis is therefore, not
actually lengthened but merely pulled further out of
the body, the increase in length varies depending on
the patients anatomy. Results generally range from 1-1/2"
to 2" and there is no way to predict the length
gain prior to surgery.
There is a drawback with this type of surgery however,
five percent of men do not experience any increase in
either flaccid or erect penis length following surgery.
In a small amount of cases, penis length is actually
reduced due to the formation of scar tissue that contracts
over time. Exercise plays a vital role of the postoperative
treatment to prevent shrinkinge. Gains in flaccid length
are by far the most noticeable. Unfortunately gains
in erect length are often less dramatic. A further drawback
of the operation, is once the suspensory ligaments have
been cut the angle of the erection can be significantly
reduced.
Penile Widening (Girth Enhancement)
There are several different techniques used to increase
penis girth generally these are found to be more successful
than penile lengthening and can provide up to thirty
percent increase in girth. Listed below are the two
most common surgeries available for Penile Widening.
For more information on the other girth enhancement
methods I have provided a link at the bottom of this
page.
Fat Transfer Method
Fat Transfer is performed by taking fat from the lower
abdomen or buttocks area injecting this fat underneath
the skin of the penile shaft. The surgery takes approximately
two hours under regional anesthesia, and stitches are
removed two weeks after the operation.The amount of
dermal fat to be injected should be just enough for
the penile skin to sustain.any excess fat. Sexual intercourse
is possible after approximately one month. Healing is
rapid although some pain may be detected for a couple
of days right after the surgery. There is up to three
percent chance of having side effects such as necrosis,
bleeding, infection etc and there is a significant possibility
some or all of the relocated fat will be re absorbed
by the body within the first several months.
Dermal Graft Augmentation
A relatively new method is Dermal Graft Augmentation
and a very successful technique. With this procedure,
strips of skin with the fat on the under-surface are
removed from areas of the body. These strips are then
inserted under the skin of the penis through two small
incisions. The grafts are positioned to meet under the
skin, surrounding the entire shaft, eliminating visible
ridges. As technology has improved, Dr. Barron has concluded
that the Dermal Graft Augmentation provides a vastly
superior and virtually permanent resultThe results of
this procedure are considered to be superior to those
achieved through Fat Transfer and are generally far
more stable over time
Summary
Penis Enlargement Surgery is not risk free, while there
has been many advances made over the last ten years,
there has been many lawsuits filed over Penile Enlargement
Surgery.
Make sure you carefully select your surgeon, discuss
the surgeons success rate, see his before and after
photographs and are fully informed of the potential
risks involved.Also make sure he is a Board Certified
Plastic Surgeon,a well respected surgeon with extensive
experience in the field will offer a greater chance
of achieving permanent gains and will have the skills
to minimize risks or resolve postoperative complications
should they occur.

information, if you are interested please take the time
to fully aquaint yourself with these methods of penis
enlargement.
Some of the problems with surgery
- Loss of erect upward angle of the penis.
- Keloid scars (a thick scar).
- Scarring causing a shorter penis.
- Absorption of the allograft dermal matrix graft
with loss of thickness.
- Skin incision separation.
- Bleeding.
- Fibrosis of superficial vein.
- Infection.
- Ecchymosis (bruising).
- Nerve injury resulting in decrease of penile sensation.
- Edema (temporary swelling of the skin).
- Seroma (collection of serum under skin).
- Erectile dysfunction (difficulty with erection).
- If some of these complications occur, further surgery
may be required.
