A very serious step, penis enlargement surgery can be considered if you didn't find success with the other methods. Medical organizations generally do not endorse penis enlargement surgery and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons have both issued statements against penis enlargement surgery because of the permanent risk of damage to the penis and its proper functioning.

Penis enlargement surgery could sometimes result in a scarred or shorter penis. Other effects could include disfigurements such as hair at the base of the penis, a shorter or bumpy penis or a penis that hangs too low. A patient can also experience impotency, loss of sensitivity, pain and incontinence.

The average price for penis enlargement plastic surgery is about $10,000 and that is for any surgery that does not include further correctional surgery. You will have to pay for the entire cost of a penis enlargement surgery is usually not covered by insurance because it is considered cosmetic surgery.

More Blood Vessels

A new surgical technique increases blood flow in the penis by taking blood vessels from other parts of the body and places them in the penis. To some this is being considered as the best penis enlargement surgery. The success rate among the 39 men who participated in the study did show an average width increase by one half inch.

Injections for Penis Enlargement

Injections are still being tested and there have been some problems with this type of penis enlargement. Injections may cause the shaft of the penis to look wider than the glans of the penis, which may not be the look you intended.

Liquid Silicone for Penis Girth

An increase of 900% girth increase has been reported with liquid silicone injections into the scrotum and penis and that the effects are permanent. Deformation, scarring, loss of sensation and the loss of ability to have intercourse can result from these injections.

Miscellaneous Injections for Penis Enlargement

Other injections to the penis are made with KY Jelly, mineral oil and collagen that all can cause bumps that may settle at the base of the penis and cause problems with blood circulation. Scarring, deformation, loss of function and sensitivity can result from these types of injections.

Adding Fat To The Penis

A surgical technique that involves taking fat from other parts of the body and injecting it into the penis is considered "new and unproven" by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and a warning is given about the risk of infections, bleeding and the loss of function, skin and sensitivity. This surgery is performed to add more girth to a penis and not for lengthening the penis.

Cutting The Ligament

Another surgical technique is to cut the ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone, which will then move skin from the lower stomach onto the penis. The ligament is important to holding the erect penis in place with an upward tilt and when the ligament is cut, the erect penis can move at odd angles. Not all men experience a lengthened penis from having the ligament cut.

Penis enlargement surgery is a serious step for a man to take and all the pros and cons for each surgery type should be carefully considered. If you make the wrong choice, you will be stuck with the effects permanently.
