What is Penile Lengthening Surgery?
Penile lengthening surgery is a procedure designed to increase the visible length of the penis, primarily in its flaccid state. The most common and effective technique involves releasing the suspensory ligament, which attaches the penis to the pubic bone. This allows the hidden internal portion of the penis to advance forward, resulting in a permanent increase in length.
Clinical Mechanism
The Clinical Mechanism (Suspensory Ligament Release):
1. Anatomical Insight: A significant portion (approx. 30-50%) of the penile shaft is internal, anchored to the pubic bone by the suspensory ligament. This ligament holds the penis in an upright position during erection but also keeps a large segment hidden inside the body.
2. Ligamentolysis (The Release): Through a small, discreet incision (usually in the pubic area), the surgeon carefully cuts or 'releases' this ligament. This detaches the penis from the pubic bone, allowing the internal shaft to drop forward and extend outward.
3. Visible Results: This release typically results in a 2-4 cm gain in flaccid length. The erection angle may lower slightly, but stability and sensation remain unaffected.
4. Critical Post-Op Care: To prevent the ligament from healing back in its original position (reattachment), post-operative traction therapy is essential for 3-6 months. This ensures the newly released length is maintained and optimized.
Treatment Procedure
Anesthesia
Local or general anesthesia. Small pubic incision made.
Ligament Release
Suspensory ligament partially released to reveal hidden penile length.
Closure
Incision closed. No tissue removed, just ligament adjustment.
Traction Therapy
Post-op traction essential for 3-6 months to achieve and maintain gains.
Safety & Considerations
Surgical lengthening is safe when performed by experienced surgeons. Risks include scarring, loss of erection angle (slightly lower angle), temporary numbness, or dissatisfaction with modest gains. Non-surgical traction is very safe but requires discipline and consistency.
Suitable Candidates
- Men with realistic expectations seeking modest length increase.
- Those committed to post-operative traction therapy (essential for best results).
- Patients in good health without active infections or bleeding disorders.
- Individuals wanting permanent surgical solution (vs. temporary devices).
Post-Op Timeline
Initial Healing
Swelling and bruising subside. Traction therapy begins.
Active Traction
Daily traction (4-6 hours) to maintain and maximize length gains.
Final Results
Traction tapering. Final length stabilizes. Full cosmetic healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
QHow much length will I gain?
Typical gains are 2-4cm in flaccid length. Erect length gains are modest (~0.5-1.5cm). Results depend on anatomy and post-op traction compliance.
QWill my erection angle change?
Slightly. The erection may point more forward/downward vs. upward. Function is unaffected.
QIs traction therapy mandatory?
Highly recommended. Without traction, gains may be minimal or lost due to scar contraction.
