Penis enlargement surgery has advanced so much since the early days. Back then, it was only done when there was a disfigurement. Then the risks were high, but the advances have been monumental, it has become very safe and common place in the male lifestyle.

The surgical process of the penis entails two procedures. One increases the girth of the penis, making it 1 to 3 inches thicker. The other increases the length by using the stored tissue that is concealed inside the body. Most of the time, patients decide both will do them good.

The first thing you need to do is contact your doctor for a complete check up and discuss with them the possibility of a penis enlargement. From there, your doctor will refer you to a surgeon who specializes in this kind of procedure. If this is a cosmetic reason, they will want to discuss the reasons as to why you are pursuing a penis enlargement. Your mental outlook is vital with this kind of surgery.

Increasing the girth of the penis relies primarily on stored fat cells taken from the abdomen and injected around the inside of the penis. This fat transfer, bulks up the roundness of the penis by a few inches. A little like breast tissue, this may leave the penis feeling a bit soft. As the fat is reabsorbed into the penis, hardness should increase.

The lengthening of the penis takes tissue that has been concealed inside the body is used in this process. This is done by cutting the ligaments that keeps the tissue in the body. This moves the hidden part forward making the penis longer. This type of penis enlargement surgery makes the length much longer, but when erect, the increase may not be that great.

There can be some side effects from penis enlargement surgery. Since the ligament is no longer attached to the pubic bone, the penis is essentially floating loose. While the penis is in a relaxed position, there will be no problems, but in an erect position, the penis could slip and shift during sex. Without that ligament to hold it in place erections could point down instead of up. A good surgeon can minimize these kinds of problems by anchoring that ligament to a different area.

Cost for this kind of procedure varies depending on the place and the doctor. You should contact your insurance company before hand. If penis enlargement surgery sounds like something you would be interested in, just know, with all the advancements that have occurred, this procedure is safe.
