Introduction To Penis Enlargement Surgery
Penis enlargement surgery (also known as penile
augmentation or penile enhancement surgery)
consists of two surgical procedures to enlarge
the Penis, one is used to increase the girth
of the Penis, the second is used to increase
the length of the Penis. Typically, patients
opt to have both Penis enlargement procedures
carried out at the same time.
Increasing the girth of the Penis relies on
fat cells (usually from the patients abdomen)
being transplanted (injected) around the Penis.
The procedure, known as fat transfer, bulks-up
the Penis and can increase the girth of the
Penis by 1 to 3 inches. One of the possible
drawbacks is that the transplanted fat cells
feel soft, somewhat like female breast tissue.
Additionally, increases in the girth of the
Penis achieved this way can often disappear
as the fat cells are reabsorbed back into the
body. Sometimes, the re-absorption of the transplanted
fat is uneven and the Penis is left looking
lumpy and unsightly.
A variant of the fat transfer method called
Òdermal transferÓ may overcome the fat re-absorption
problem. Dermal transfer uses strips of skin
and fat together. The skin stops the fat from
being re-absorbed into the body but because
this procedure requires strips of skin and fat
to be grafted onto the Penis the surgery is
more complex and the risk of disfigurement is
much greater.
Penis lengthening procedures are quite different
from the procedures used to increase the girth
of the Penis. The tissue in the Penis that fills
with blood is called the corpora cavernosa.
This spongy tissue normally extends from the
Penis back into the body. In some cases, half
of the corpora cavernosa may be "concealed"
inside the body. Penis lengthening relies on
releasing this concealed tissue which has the
effect of increasing the length of the Penis.
Releasing the concealed part of the Penis is
done by cutting the suspensory ligaments that
keep the corpora cavernosa anchored within the
body. This moves the concealed part of the Penis
forward achieving additional Penis length outside
the body. This type of Penis enlargement surgery
can result in substantial flaccid size gains
but sometimes only a small increase in the erect
Penis length.
The side effects of this Penis lengthening surgery
stem from the fact that with the suspensory
ligament no longer anchored to the pubic bone,
the Penis is effectively Òfloating looseÓ. If
the Penis is flaccid this will not cause any
problems but if the Penis is erect then several
problems may occur. Floating loose from the
pubic bone, the erect Penis can slip and shift
around during sex. And without the suspensory
ligament to hold it, erections can point downwards.
Nowadays, more sophisticated surgical techniques
mean that this can be minimized but the angle
of erection is still likely to be reduced no
matter how the surgery is carried out.
Penis enlargement surgery has Vig-RXd a long
way since the early days when penile disfigurement
was almost a certainty but many surgeons still
refuse to offer Penis enlargement procedures
because of the risks associated with it. Candidates
for Penis enlargement surgery should seek advice
from their own doctor and ideally undergo counselling
before consulting with surgeons offering these
procedures.
