Penile lengthening surgery, also known as Ligament Lysis or Suspensory Ligament Release, is a highly specialized procedure aimed at increasing the visible length of the penis. This surgery focuses on the suspensory ligament which anchors the penis to the pubic bone. By carefully cutting or releasing this ligament the penis can hang lower giving the appearance of added length.
Procedure:
Anaesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition and surgeon’s preference.
Incision Location: An incision is made at the base of the penis, just above the pubic bone, where the suspensory ligament attaches.
Ligament Release: The suspensory ligament, which connects the penis to the pubic bone, is carefully cut. This allows the penis to drop forward, increasing its apparent length.
Post-Procedure Considerations: After the ligament is released, the penis may temporarily appear longer as it is no longer held in a retracted position. However, the increase is mostly in terms of length that can be seen when the penis is flaccid. There may be a minimal gain in erect length, but the effect on erection size is typically subtle
Procedure Time: Typically performed under general anesthesia, the surgery lasts between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the specific techniques used and individual patient needs.
Recovery: The recovery process is relatively quick for most patients, with many able to return to light activities after 2–3 weeks. Full recovery usually takes about 6 weeks, though you may be advised to avoid heavy physical activity, including sexual activity, for a few weeks post-surgery. Physical therapy may be recommended to prevent complications and ensure the best outcome.
Results & Benefits:
Increased Flaccid Length: Many patients see a noticeable improvement in flaccid penis length, leading to better aesthetic proportions.
Improved Self-Confidence: The procedure can help those with concerns about their penis size feel more confident in both intimate settings and in their body image.
Minimal Visible Scarring: Due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, scarring is typically minimal and easily concealed.
