Penile Lengthening
What is Penile Lengthening??
Penile lengthening is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to increase the visible length of the penis. The surgery typically involves cutting the suspensory ligament, which connects the penis to the pubic bone, allowing a portion of the internal penis to extend outward.
This creates the appearance of a longer penis when flaccid. The procedure is often performed to improve self-confidence and body image for men who feel self-conscious about their penis size.
How is a Penile Lengthening procedure performed?
The procedure starts with an incision made at the base of the pubic area, where the suspensory ligament of the penis is located. By cutting this ligament, a portion of the penis that is normally inside the body is released, making the penis appear longer. In some cases, fat or skin grafts may be used to enhance the aesthetic outcome. Once the ligament is cut and any additional adjustments are made, the incision is closed, and a compression garment may be applied. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia.
Who is a candidate for this surgery?
Candidates for penile lengthening surgery are men who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. It is typically sought by men who are concerned about the length of their penis when flaccid and who may experience psychological distress due to their perceived size. Ideal candidates should also be non-smokers or willing to stop smoking before surgery to aid in proper healing. It is essential to have a consultation with a board-certified surgeon to evaluate personal goals and determine whether the procedure is appropriate.
How long is the surgery?
Penile lengthening surgery typically takes between 1 to 2 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the case.
What is the recovery like?
Recovery from penile lengthening surgery involves several weeks of healing. Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort initially, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. It is recommended to avoid any strenuous activities, including sexual intercourse, for at least 4-6 weeks. Wearing loose clothing and avoiding pressure on the area is advised during the healing period. Most individuals can return to light activities after a week, but full recovery takes several weeks, with results becoming more noticeable as swelling subsides.
