Plastic Surgery for Penis Enlargement: Not for Cosmetic Purposes

An increasing number of private clinics today advertise and offer surgical procedures as a penis enlargement solution. However, though penile plastic surgery can be of benefit to some men, it is certainly not the right solution for all of them.

None of the plastic surgery enlargement procedures developed by surgeons is endorsed by medical organizations. Quite the contrary, cosmetic surgical procedures for penis enlargement are largely disapproved by legitimate medical organizations and associations.

There are different cosmetic surgical techniques used to enlarge the penis but all of them are considered experimental and not a standard procedure by urologists. This type of plastic surgery is unreliable in its benefits and is accompanied by the risk of serious complications.

Plastic Surgery for Penis Lengthening

One of the most common surgical procedures to lengthen the penis is cutting the suspensory ligament attaching the penis to the pubic bone and then performing plastic surgery to advance skin in order to provide for the new penis length. The suspensory ligament, however, serves to support the penis when erect. Thus, when the ligament is cut, the erect penis can be unstable, position itself at odd angles and even point down.

Cosmetic Surgery for Penis Girth Increase

One of the most common cosmetic surgical procedures to thicken the penis is the injection of suctioned fat (usually from the thighs or the abdominal wall) into the penis, under the skin of the penile shaft. The result from this type of plastic surgery can be really disappointing since the fat can be reabsorbed by the body within a year. Additionally the fat reabsorbing is often unevenly, resulting in penis deformation and nodule formations.

Conclusion about Plastic Surgery for Cosmetic Penis Enlargement

Currently, there are not enough studies and reliable published data to give an accurate idea of the real long-term results and all the risks of complications related to penis enlargement surgery. None of the techniques of cosmetic penis enlargement surgery has proven to be safe or effective.

Since there are too many potential risks involved in plastic surgery for penis enlargement, consider trying one of the safer penis enlargement methods first.
