Penis enlargement surgery is one of the most preferred aesthetic operations for men today to increase their self-confidence and improve their quality of sexual life. In this article, we provide scientific and experience-based answers to the question “how many cm does penis lengthening surgery lengthen?”.
In addition, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ömer Bayrak explains all the curious about the surgical process, the results obtained and who are suitable candidates in all details.
What is Penis Lengthening Surgery?
Penis lengthening surgery is a surgery that aims to lengthen the penis by removing the part of the penis that remains inside the body. During this procedure, the ligament that connects the penis to the pelvic bone, called the suspensory ligament, is cut. Thanks to this ligament, the penis is directed upwards when erect. However, when the ligament is cut, the part of the penis that remains inside comes out and appears longer in a loose state. This surgical intervention is usually performed under local or general anesthesia by a specialist urologist or plastic surgeon. It can be combined with additional procedures according to the patient’s needs. This operation provides a serious improvement not only physically but also psychologically. It makes a big difference especially for men with low self-confidence.
What is the Average Lengthening Amount?
The elongation obtained after penis enlargement surgery may vary according to the patient’s anatomy, the method applied and the experience of the specialist performing the surgery. However, when clinical results are examined in general:
- On average, an extension of 2 to 4 cm can be achieved.
- On average, an extension of 2 to 4 cm can be achieved.
- Elongation is usually most pronounced when the penis is in a flaccid state. When erect, elongation may be more limited.
The result of the surgery is very clearly noticeable visually. The patient feels more “complete” and immediately notices the physical difference when looking in the mirror. The most important thing to remember is that this lengthening is “visible”. Beyond the measured figure, most patients state that their penis looks “more aesthetic and stronger” after surgery.
What to Expect After Penis Lengthening Surgery?
The postoperative period is usually easier for patients than they expect. There may be mild pain, edema and bruising in the first days, but this is temporary. After a few hours of rest following the surgery, you can be discharged on the same day. During the first 1 week, attention should be paid to the special area and heavy physical activities should be avoided. The tissue heals completely in about 3-4 weeks. Sexual intercourse is usually It can be started after 4 to 6 weeks with the doctor’s approval. In addition, some patients may be recommended special exercises or mechanical stretching devices to maintain the elongated shape of the penile tissue in the postoperative period. These applications support the permanence of the gain obtained.
As a result, the postoperative period is quite comfortable when spent patiently, carefully and in accordance with the doctor’s recommendations.
What are the Factors Affecting the Amount of Elongation?
The result may not be the same in every patient. This is because the anatomical structure of the penis varies from person to person. These differences directly affect the amount of elongation.
Some of the factors that stand out are:
- The length of the penis inside the body: The longer this part is, the larger the part that can be pulled out.
- The patient’s body structure and fat ratio: In patients with excess fat tissue, additional gain can be achieved with liposuction.
- Additional procedures: 1-2 cm extra length can be gained with procedures such as V-Y plasty or scrotal web excision.
- Surgeon’s experience: The operation performed by an experienced specialist gives more balanced and natural results.
- Patient compliance after surgery: Compliance with the care and exercises recommended by the doctor improves permanence.
When personal factors and surgical technique come together, maximum benefit is achieved.
