Penis Enlargement: Expectations and Realities

Among the ancient Greeks who carved magnificent statues, male figures were created with small penises, demonstrating both male strength and the ability to suppress sexual desire.

However, if you're sure your penis is small, comparing your measurements to those on the internet certainly won't make you feel any better. Although you are sure to find many programs and products that promise to enlarge your penis (like penis enlargement creams).

Are these promises too good to be true?

The average length of a male penis is about 10 cm, the smallest penis in the world is only 1 cm long, and an erect penis of 2. 5 cm is considered a micropenis.

Penis Enlargement - Expectations

Modern medicine has the ability to change the length and thickness of the human penis.

Surgeons can lengthen the penis by cutting the ligaments that connect to the pelvis; this will only make the flaccid penis look longer. It doesn't do much for an erect penis, other than making it more unstable and less hard. Non-surgical methods of increasing length suggest using a rubber band device to stretch the penis for several hours a day for several months. Similar to braces, they slowly "groom" the penis, adding a total of 1-2 cm.

To thicken the penis, surgical implants or "grafts" are sewn into the side of the penis, or fat, silicone, or muscle grafts are placed under the skin to increase the diameter of the penis. These are fairly viable procedures to increase the diameter, but they make the penis weird, soft, almost doughy, and cause complications such as skin erosion or infection, requiring removal of all implants. When it does, the disfigurement can be irreversible and can really destroy something otherwise normal.

So how do you know which one is right for you? What is safe? What is valid?

Honestly, no way. That's because, like all plastic surgery, penis surgery is designed to satisfy a patient's whim, not to solve a major problem. This is the reason for the lack of published data on individual penis enlargement procedures, let alone comparisons between them.

Penis enlargement is a reality

However, a recently published scientific article reviewed the results of 17 studies involving 21 surgical and non-surgical procedures for penis enlargement. The results turned out to be very instructive.

1192 men who had undergone penis enlargement surgery and had healthy penises were examined. The vast majority of men who undergo surgery have normal-sized penises before surgery.

Surgical procedures include excision of the suspensory ligament (lengthening), fat grafting (perimeter) flaps (perimeter), and "penis removal". Non-surgical procedures include injections (perimeter), extenders (length), and vacuum devices (length)

In non-surgical procedures, extension does add length, but only< 2 cm. Injections increased girth, but were associated with serious complications (penis lumps).

It's worth noting that the average satisfaction rate for men who received treatment was only 20%!

If, prior to any surgery, the patient is given a detailed consultation and the details are clarified, including the normal size of the penis, then in most cases they will refuse penis enlargement surgery.

in conclusion

When it comes to penis enlargement, be careful! For the sake of less plausible fantasies, realistically assess what you have and what you will do.

Note that the majority of men (80%! ) who have undergone this type of surgery are ultimately dissatisfied with the results. Get complete information on possible problems and how often they occur.

Remember that in the vast majority of cases, attitude and skills are far more important than size, and women simply don't love you for that.
