Penis Lengthening Surgery - The Good and the Bad

Penis lengthening surgery has been available for quite a long time, and many men have had good results with it. But as with any of the penis enlargement surgery options you have, penis lengthening surgery has its downsides, and plenty of them.

The Good Stuff

Penis lengthening surgery is, when compared to some other penis enlargement surgery methods, somewhat less extreme. With this surgery, the connective ligaments at the base of the penis are severed. This causes the penis to hang lower, hanging further out from the body. This will give the penis the appearance of up to a two-inch increase in length when flaccid. If you're in the locker room a lot, or plan on showing your flaccid penis around, this can be a great thing. Penis enlargement surgery also slightly increases the length of your erect penis. The average erect gain is about half an inch in length.

The Bad Stuff

Penis lengthening surgery isn't always effective, and comes with a pretty good-sized handful of risks. One common side effect --and a very unwelcome one at that-- of penis lengthening surgery is the risk of penis shortening. That's right, sometimes this surgery will shorten your penis. This happens when the penis retracts somewhat into the body to heal after the surgery, and scar tissue is formed, causes the tissues of the penis to contract together and shorten.

Most of the other negative side effects of penis lengthening surgery are cosmetic. You will be left with a scar at the base of the penis. You will also see some changes in the position of the erect penis-- it will not stick up when erect the way it used to, and may lean slightly or settle into a strange position when erect. The position of your flaccid penis may also appear changed. That is, when flaccid, your penis may appear to extend directly from your testicles.

Your Other Options

If you want to avoid the many potential side effects of penis lengthening surgery, or would like to try something less invasive and more private, you may want to consider a penis stretcher or traction device. In fact, such devices are often provided to post-surgery patients of penis lengthening surgery, and many attribute the gains achieved after the surgery to this device alone.

With it's unique combination of exercises provided by Penis Health with a stretching device, a penis enlargement program like the one provided by Size Genetics will help you to achieve the gains you want without painful and risky surgeries.
