Penis Enlargement Methods Exposed

Surgical penis enlargement facts:

Since 1971, penile-lengthening surgery has been offered to men with severe shortening due to congenital abnormalities (abnormalities present from birth), surgery (for penile cancer or Peyronie's disease) or trauma (accidental or deliberate amputation).

Techniques for cosmetic lengthening were described in 1990. More than 10,000 men have had such surgery, but reliable information about results and complications have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal (a journal where the quality and content of the research is checked by independent experts). Given the number of operations performed, this fact is both astounding and worrying.

Through surgery, the penis can be visually enlarged, usually by just over an inch. The surgeon will cut the ligaments that hold the penis in its usual position and this allows the penis to descend. Weights, or stretching devices, are then used for a few months to give a permanent increase in size. When this ligament is cut, the penis may look longer because more of it hangs outside the body. But cutting the suspensor ligament can cause an erect penis to wobble and position itself at odd angles, particularly when erect.

There are two techniques in common use for increasing penile girth:

- Injection of liposuctioned fat, from the abdominal wall or thighs, into the dartos fascia, under the skin of the penile shaft.
- Placing grafts of dermis (a layer of tissue from under the skin surface that is well supplied with blood vessels) and fat from the groin or buttock area within the penile shaft.

The results following injection of liposuctioned fat can be deeply disappointing. Up to 90 percent of the fat can disappear within a year. Grafts seem to do rather better, but there is no reliable published data on long-term results. At least one person has died from bleeding after augmentation surgery. Apart from the risks of infection and bleeding, specific complications exist for each procedure.

Lengthening Procedures:

- Scrotalisation of the penis, in which the penis appears to arise from the scrotum instead of the abdominal wall.
- “Dog-ears” at each end of the operation scar.
- Sloughing of the skin used to increase penile length (the skin has a poor blood supply and therefore dies, leaving a deep, ulcerated area).

Girth-increasing Procedures:

- Loss of girth due to fat re-absorption.
- Nodule formation, if the implanted fat does not disappear uniformly. The penis can be left with a deformed appearance, with irregular fatty lumps all over it.

So maybe you are better off without any surgery after all.

The next thing you can go for takes a non-surgical approach. The scam is widely known as “penis enlargement pills”. Penis enlargement pills cost a lot less than surgery, less than $50 per bottle, and if you will be using them for a year it will only amount to $600, compared to $4000 – the starting point for penis enhancement surgery.

Penis enlargement pills are herbal pills, so they don’t have to be tested. The marketers can make any claims whatsoever about their pills – I’ve even seen pills that can make you grow taller. The good news here is that you won’t experience bad side effects, if any. These pills are nothing more than vitamins with or without an addition of testosterone. You can get intoxicated on them, so don’t try to take too many at once. If you notice any unusual side effects (nausea, vomiting, headache, tension or pain in muscles and joints etc), call a Poison Control center right away.

The last method to try is penis enlargement devices such as stretchers. These are also non-expensive and some people build them at home. Trying any home-made penis enlargement device is a big no-no. There are a million risks involved here and you don’t want to risk injuries to your penis when you know surgery may not be a desirable option as well.

Approved stretchers and traction devices may work for some men, but they are not so widely used because exercising with them takes time. If you do have time they may prove an efficient and safe method for you, but always be sure you understand all the instructions before using any such device on your penis.

And there you have it, that’s the truth about penis enlargement, what works and what doesn’t.
