Male Genital Surgery: Penis Enlargements

A QUESTION OF SIZE

One of the first questions we are often asked is “what is the average size of a mans Penis ?”

The answer to this question varies enormously depending on the studies you want to believe. However, most seem to agree broadly that the average human Penis is approximately 4.75 to 5.9 inches in length. A typical girth measurement is around 4.8 inches when fully erect.

Much of the growth of your Penis happens during puberty.

Many men are concerned at some point in their lives about the length of their penis and wonder if they “ measure up” to what is considered normal. Of course, most men , even those who are worried about the size of their Penis , have a perfectly acceptable one and have nothing at all to worry about. Furthermore, most women have confirmed in numerous studies that they are more than happy with the size of their Partners penis. Similar studies however have indicated that women believe the size of their Partners penis to be very important in a relationship.

Many men are not concerned about the length of the erect Penis, but the length of the penis in the flaccid state. They believe that they don’t indeed “ measure up” and that they would be ridiculed in the showers for example, or the first time they are with a partner sexually.

It should be remembered that the length of the flaccid penis is not always an indication of the length of the erect Penis, in the same way that an erect penis is not always an indication of the size of the Penis when flaccid. A small flaccid penis could be quite large on erection and a large flaccid penis could have a relatively small size when erect.

What’s more, your Penis will always look smaller than it actually is when you are looking down at it. To get an appreciation as to its real size it should be viewed in a full length mirror.

Measuring your penis should be done very carefully. It is very easy to get a false reading and an unfair nasty surprise !.  It should be measured along the top of the penis from the base to the tip, not on the underside of the penis.

HOW CAN I INCREASE THE SIZE?

By now you have probably read a million and once ways to enlarge your penis. Pills, potions, lotions, creams, devices etc have all been dubbed to be the answer to a small penis. Many of these cures have been proven to be dubious at best and many the subject of spam emails. The truth is there is no easy option and Patients should consider all options very carefully before embarking on any treatment, and that includes surgery. It may be worth discussing your concerns with your family Doctor if you can, penis enlargement surgery should only be considered when you have thought very carefully, taking into account not only the benefits but the potential risks and complications too. Our Plastic Surgeon will discuss all of these with you, of course.

Lets begin by saying that Penis enlargement surgery has a fairly mixed press. This probably stems from wild claims being made about how much larger a penis can be made after surgery. If you are expecting a massive increase in size, you will not be having any surgery because it simply cannot be done. Surgery can give you some improvement but you have to be realistic.

Surgery can be performed to increase either the length of the penis, the girth , or both. The procedure is carried out by a Plastic Surgeon with considerable experience in genital surgery on both men and women. It is performed under general anesthetic and you will remain in hospital overnight.

The length of the penis is increased by cutting the suspensory and fundiform ligaments. This allows a proportion of the penile shaft tucked inside the body, to be released. Our Plastic Surgeon uses a special incision called a Z-plasty to help prevent retraction of the length due to the scar. Because the incision is in the pubic region there is no scar on the penis itself. The result is that the penis also protrudes in a more straight direction giving an appearance of length gain.

It is important to be realistic about the potential results as we have already mentioned. Generally, gains of 2cm or half an inch can be achieved. Larger gains may well be achieved but no guarantees of post operative size can ever be given,. The ligaments can be cut and the rest is largely up to your own anatomy. Be very wary of promises of huge gains in length, you will end up being only disappointed.

Another role of the suspensory ligament is that it also controls stability of your penis. Cutting this ligament can result in an erection with a slightly different angle. Also, a man may not have complete control over his penis when in certain sexual positions, for example with the woman on top. There is usually a bigger gain in the flaccid state of the penis than in the erect state. For most men this is exactly what they are looking for since the penis is bigger anyway when it is erect.

The girth is increased by taking dermal grafts from the Gluteal fold and transferred to the shaft of the penis. This generally works better than the traditional method of fat transfer. The problem with fat transfer is that the fat can be reabsorbed into the body, but usually unevenly, giving an unsightly appearance to the Penis. This does not happen with dermal fat grafts because the skin stops the fat from being reabsorbed. It is a more complicated procedure than fat transfer. Both lengthening and girth increase can be carried out in suitable cases.

You can also consider trimming the pubic hair around the Penis. Excessive pubic hair can also make the penis look smaller than it is. Furthermore, if you are overweight, your pubic fat pad may also be large making your penis look small. Loose weight if you need to and this may have a positive effect visually.
