Penile augmentation discussed

Penile augmentation is a surgery that is done in men for two different reasons:

1) To increase the length of the penis 2) To increase the girth of the penis. There are two different types of penile enlargement surgery based on the basic requirement of the patient.

Quite a lot of men opt for penile augmentation through surgery to increase their sexual performance and increase the level of satisfaction of their partners.

A penile augmentation surgery would involve releasing the fundiform ligament and the suspensory ligament that attach the two erectile bodies to the pubic bone.

The release of the suspensory ligament makes the penis protrude straighter and further outward which would give the penis an appearance of being longer.

Once the fundiform ligament and the suspensory ligament have been cut, a part of the penis shaft would drop forward and extend out which would enlarge the penis by almost 2 to 3 cm.

In many cases men opt to have penile augmentation to increase the length and the width of the penis at the same time. When penile enlargement surgery of both types is to be done together then along with releasing the fundiform ligament and the suspensory ligament the fat cells from another part of the body is injected to the penis to make it appear wider.

However, there are a few drawbacks of penile augmentation procedures. In most cases, doctors would not recommend the surgery, expect in a few cases because of the risks involved in the process. When penile enlargement surgery is done to increase the girth of the penis it is possible that the penis would take on a not so appealing shape when the fat cells are injected.

Also, although penile augmentation procedures are known to be successful in as many as 90% men, the satisfaction level of the patients has been very low. Another drawback of penile augmentation is that the surgery leaves behind scars, which in some cases are very visible.

Also, another factor that needs to be considered is the cost of the penile augmentation surgery, which is very high. Penile augmentation has become quite popular in men in the last few years since it offers them a chance to increase the length and the girth of the penis in a short time, without having to do exercises or wait for a few months to see the results.

However, for ensuring safety, it is essential to consult a specialist and discuss the risk factors involved in the process. The physician must know about your medical history well and if there are any other medical conditions, allergies, reaction, family history or any other important details it must be discussed with the doctor.

Penile augmentation might be quite helpful to some men for whom this type of surgery is suited.

The best thing to do is consider all the pros and cons and then make an informed decision.
