What Does the Surgery Involve?
The procedure takes place in a certified outpatient surgery and takes between 45 minutes and one hour. You can return home or to your hotel the same day but you will need to attend the office for a follow-up appointment for three days after the procedure. This means you can take a minimal amount of time off work or away from other activities. It won’t disrupt your lifestyle in the way that other surgical procedures can so that you can get back to your normal routine almost immediately.
The procedure happens under general anesthesia so that you are not awake while it takes place. The discomfort patients feel can vary from person to person and ranges from mild to moderate. This is tightly controlled through the use of prescription pain medications to minimize any discomfort.
The actual procedure involves the insertion of a silicone implant that meets medical-grade specifications. A small incision is made in your pubic area (just above your pubic hair region), just above the base of your penis. The silicone device is then inserted along your shaft which gently stretches the skin. This doesn’t affect the suspensory ligament which supports the penis when erect and holds it close to the pubic bone. The result can be a penis looking and feeling significantly bigger.
During the first two weeks after the surgery, you may notice swelling but this is normal. There may also be some bruising and you may experience pain with erections. This can also be controlled by using medication to minimize pain and discomfort. The immediate results tend to be a larger flaccid penis in terms of both length and girth. Results also tend to include an increased erect girth and penis lengthening, but it may take 6-8 months (or longer) for the full erect length to be achieved as the body adjusts to the silicone implant. Sexual activity needs to be re-introduced after weeks of recovery.
