| Introduction
Penile enlargement is intended to increase
the size of a penis, offering patients enhanced
confidence and sexual pleasure. 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. Additionally, increases in the girth
of the penis achieved this way can often disappear
as the fat cells are reabsorbed back into the
body. Solution to this possibility is fat top
up. A variant of the fat transfer method called
"dermal transfer" 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.
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.
Aim
The aim of the operation is to permanently lengthen
the penis by about 3cm.
Swelling
This varies but yes, following your operation
you will have some swelling but usually this
subsides after about one week.
Bruising
Yes, this varies from one person to
another.
Recovery
The decision about when to return to work and
resume normal activities depends on how fast
you heal and how well you feel. As a general
guide it is usual for clients to return to work
after about ten to fourteen days.
Final Result
Visible Although an improvement
may be seen almost immediately it may take up
to 3 months to see the final result.
Can the penis
girth be enlarged at the same time?
Most clients do opt for the thickness procedure
to be performed at the same time as the lengthening
operation.
Thickening
The procedure for widening the penis involves
an injection of fat harvested by suction usually
from the abdomen or thighs using a standard
liposuction technique.
The fat is then re-injected along the shaft
of the penis underneath the skin. |
