Phalloplasty: Male Surgical Enhancement

Ambriel Maji
The average male penis when erect is around 5 to 7 inches. When the penis is less than 3 inches in length when erect its considered a condition called micropenis. Men that suffer from micropenis often suffer from dysfunctional sex lives and self esteem issues.

Many products on the markets from penis pumps to penis enlargement pills offer men many ways to obtain larger organs. The truth is many of these products are not only ineffective but can be very dangerous. According to the Mayo Clinic there is no scientific research that supports the use of any non surgical method to enlarge the penis. There is also no reputable medical society that will endorse surgery to enlarge the penis just for cosmetic reasons.

Penis enlargement surgery also known as phalloplasty is achieved by releasing the suspensory ligament. The suspensory ligament is released where it's attached to the pubic bone; this method allows the penis to advance forward outside the body. Because half the penis is located inside the body this procedure lengths the penis by allowing more of the internal penis to fall forward outside the body. Typically 1 to 2 inches can be gained by having this procedure preformed.

Penis widening is done by various means such as inserting dermal matrix grafts under the skin of the penis shaft, injecting fat, and fat grafts. The dermal matrix grafts have been known to give a much smoother natural result. Girth gained is around 25-35%.

To address the needs of micropenis it is best to consult with your medical care provider to find what technique what best suit your needs. Some insurance plans may even cover surgery for men inflicted with micropenis. To find out if your insurance will cover the costs of surgery related to micropenis consult with a specialist that offers free consultations that can diagnosis micropenis and work with insurance companies to help provide you with coverage for your procedure.
