Penile Enlargement: Illusion or Fact- Part 6

Surgery for penile elongation

Penile elongation is done in several ways. In obese individuals, the penis is always hidden by the enlarged pubic mound. In such cases, the surgeon removes the fat by liposuction and this makes the penis appear longer. Another method is to cut the suspensory ligaments which hold the penis at the base of the pubis. These two techniques give the illusion that the penis has elongated by several cms.

Another related procedure for penile elongation is the advancement of an infrapubic skin flap onto the penis. The rationale for this technique is to protrude the external portion of the penis via a skin flap.

Girth enlargement

Penile width enlargement is a controversial procedure with no medical indications for it. Penile width is usually increased by injection of various substances just below the penile skin. Fat, collagen or silicone have all been injected into the penis to increase the girth. This is not without complications and the procedure can cause deformation, distortion and an uneven penis.
