Penis size is a huge concern to many men. Many consider having a larger penis a mark of masculinity. This has led to various methods and procedures solely devoted to penis enlargement.
One such method is phalloplasty or penile augmentation or penile enlargement surgery. Phalloplasty has been available since the 1990's. In fact, it is estimated that 250,000 men worldwide have undergone the procedure, and half of those have been in the US .
Phalloplasty requires two separate procedures: one to lengthen the penis and another to increase girth. Penis lengthening involves making an incision at the base of the penis and snipping the ligament that anchors it to the pubic bone. This causes the portion of the penis that is normally inside the body to fall forward, giving the illusion of more length - usually about an inch, but up to two and a half inches.
Penis widening, on the other hand, adds girth to the penis. This requires the insertion of a filler material under the skin of the penis. It can be done through fat transfer, grafting or by laser surgery. It can increase girth by up to 30 percent.
Financially, penis enhancement surgery vary; but generally penile lengthening ranges from $4000 - $6,000 and penile widening, from $7,000 - $8,000.
As with most other procedures, phalloplasty gives no guarantees regarding final penis size. But most surgeons recommend traction or weight program as a post-operative method. After the stitches and incisions are sealed, weights and other forms of traction are hung from the penis to sustain or even increase the length.
For this purpose, the
FastSize-Extender is the most viable post-op method for phalloplasty. Since The
FastSize-Extender uses traction to assist the human body's natural ability to change and develop under physical influence. By exposing to a constant, permanent stretch, the cells in the chambers begin to divide and multiply, thus increasing the tissue mass. This process allows the penis to hold more blood than it could before. As a result, enlargement can be noticed in both length and width (girth) of the penis.
Some patients opt to maintain traction for up to 6 months after surgery. Traction may actually reduce
