Who is the Right Doctor for this procedure?
A board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in Penile Lengthening procedures is the right doctor for this surgery. It's important to choose a surgeon with extensive experience in performing all of the procedures involved.
What technologies are used during a penile lengthening treatment?
There are various techniques used in penile lengthening procedures, such as:
Suspensory ligament release: This involves releasing the ligament that connects the base of the penis to the pelvic bone, allowing the penis to extend forward.
Dermal grafts: This technique involves placing a graft of tissue under the skin of the penis to increase its length.
Tissue expansion: This involves placing an inflatable device under the skin of the penis and gradually inflating it to stretch the tissue and increase its length.
Penile implants: In some cases, penile implants may be used to increase both length and girth.
The specific technique used will depend on the individual case and the preferences of the surgeon.

After a penile lengthening treatment, some precautions that should be taken include:
- Avoiding sexual activity for at least 4-6 weeks after the surgery.
- Refraining from strenuous physical activity or exercise for a few weeks.
