What are the risks of lengthening surgery, how long would one have to be in the hospital ?

Question

Also how much length can be added?

Answer 1

Penis Enlargement (Length) Surgery

Although penis enhancement surgery has been available for several years, the techniques were slow to be perfected.


Fortunately however, as surgeons have gained research, experience and technique, the procedure seems to be less hazardous and less prone to the nightmarish consequences of earlier attempts.

How it works:

Surgical lengthening of the penis is achieved by cutting the suspensory ligaments that support the penis. Once these ligaments have been cut, part of the penile shaft (usually held within the body) drops forward and extends out, thus creating the illusion of a longer penis. After surgery, part of the postoperative treatment includes stretching of the penis to prevent the severed suspensory ligament from healing shorter than it was previously. Without continuous stretching the gains achieved through surgery are often lost.

Results:

Gains in flaccid length are by far the most noticeable. Unfortunately gains in erect length are often less dramatic. In fact some men do not gain any length or experience a shortening due to fibrosis (shrinkage and toughening of tissues). In an extremely comprehensive study into penile augmentation surgery published by the Electronic Journal of Human Sexuality, a research sample of 58 men ranging in age from 22 to 67, average penile length following surgery increased from 5.4 to only 5.7 inches. Moreover, 69 percent of this research sample stated that the gains in length had not lived up to their expectations. Furthermore, apart from the apparent lack of significant gains in erect penile length, the severing of the suspensory ligament has further detrimental consequences. These include a significant reduction in the angle of erection as well as increased susceptibility to injury.



Penis Enlargement (Girth) Surgery:

Other surgical methods of penile enhancement are directed towards increasing the girth of the penis. These techniques are more successful in achieving their aims.

How it works:

Until recently, penile girth was surgically increased through the use of a technique known as Fat Transfer. This involved the removal of fat cells by the use of liposuction, either from the lower abdomen or inner thighs. The fat cells were then purified and injected along the length of the penile shaft between the erectile tissue and the skin of the penis. Unfortunately, this technique often failed to produce permanent satisfactory results, as over time the fat injected into the penis would be slowly reabsorbed back into the body. In fact, The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) considers this technique to be of high risk and notes there is insufficient data presently available to establish its safety and effectiveness.

A more recent surgical technique, virtually replacing Fat Transfer has been the development of Dermal Graft Augmentation. This involves the removal of strips of tissue consisting of all the layers of skin and underlying subcutaneous fat from under the gluteal folds of the buttocks and then inserting these strips into each side of the penis. Because Dermal fat grafts are more securely placed and the fat transferred is far less traumatized than when injected, the results are generally considered to be far more stable and long term. Again however, complications can occur if segments of the grafts do not completely survive. Such complications can include the development of penile curvature and asymmetry.

Results:

The results of the study into penile augmentation surgery mentioned above confirm that surgical techniques used to thicken the penis are far more effective than those designed to increase penile length. In the research sample of men studied, flaccid circumference following the above procedure had increased from an average of 3.1 inches to an average of 4.1 inches, whilst erect penile circumference increased from an average of 4.1 inches before surgery to 4.8 inches after surgery.

Myth:

Increasing penis size through surgery is a safe and cost effective method.

It should be remembered that there are risks involved with any surgical procedure. With regard to penile augmentation surgery in particular, The American Urological Association does not presently consider the techniques involved to have been proven to be safe or effective. Whether the possible benefits out weigh the potential dangers is a question that can only be answered by the individual concerned. Whilst surgery may be considered a valid option for those with documented medical conditions, it could be seen as a rather drastic solution in any other circumstance. For this reason, it is important to discuss with a physician whether such a procedure would be warranted and to understand exactly what would be entailed.

Financially, penis enhancement surgery is an expensive option. The costs of the different types of penile augmentations available range from U.S. $3000.00 to $10000.00.

A more extreme method of enlargement, surgery is often the last step men seek when looking for ways of enlarging the penis. Surgery is risky and expensive and should be the last resort for men who have tried anything and everything. There are several different types of penile surgeries that remain popular and effective. The first is called fat transfer surgery where fat is removed from the lower abdomen or the thighs and then placed under the skin of the shaft. The fat increases girth though the body might reabsorb the transferred fat and reduce the effectiveness of the surgery.

Expert Commentary on Suspensory Ligament Removal Surgery

Provided By. Dr. Brian Yates


One form of surgery is called suspensory ligament removal where the part of the penis that is inside the body is cut loose and can hang out, adding inches. A small incision is made at the base of the penis and the suspensory ligaments that hold part of the penis inside the body are released. This method instantly adds inches to your total length but there is a major drawback; you will lose the ability to have an erection since the same ligaments that hold portions of the penis inside the body are also responsible for holding the penis upright when erect.

Expert Commentary on Dermal Draft Augumentation

Dermal draft augmentation takes strips of the skin and adds them to the under-surface of the penis to add circumference. Surgery isn't necessarily permanent as transferred fat can be reabsorbed into the body following the process. Men who have surgery often have to return for a second and even third surgery until they are satisfied with the results. There is also a risk for infection and the possibility of scar formation.

Answer 2

Depends on what you're in for. Today they don't keep you long. It's like $750 a day to stay in a hosptial and no insurance company want to pay for more than 2 days.

Most surgeons want you on your feet today or at worst tomorrow.

The biggest problems with extended surgery comes from respritory complications (such as pnumonia) from the anthesesia.

Halothaine is very toxic and causes liquid to form, which causes bronchitis and pnumonia.

Answer 3

depending on what kind of surgery you have. every kind of surgery has a different lenght of time in the hospital. Me, I had back & neck surgery (at different time) with my back i was there almost two week because of fevers and the reaction to the morphine and once i was fever free for a day then i could leave. same way with my neck but i was gone withing 3 days. Because, we knew what was going to happen while on morphine but wheen me off of it the second day and was gone the following day. So, what kind of surgery you talking about>
