There are several types of penis cosmetic surgery available for men who want to alter the size and appearance of their penis. Most types of penis plastic surgery are not complex and are purely cosmetic, and should have no effect at all on the functioning of the penis.

Penis Cosmetic Surgery – Penis Lengthening

About one third to one half of the penis is located inside the body, and is attached to the pubic bone by a ligament called the suspensory ligament. In this type of penis cosmetic surgery, which is a penile lengthening procedure, this ligament is released, thus allowing the penis to advance further outside the body and appear longer.

After the procedure, it is necessary for the patient to use a penis stretching device to achieve results. Typically the patient can expect a gain of between 1 and 2 inches as a result of this penis cosmetic surgery. This penis cosmetic surgery usually takes 2-3 hours, and the patient is discharged on the same day.

Sexual activity and heavy sports should be avoided for 4-5 weeks following the lengthening penis cosmetic surgery. This penis cosmetic surgery usually costs between 4000$ and 5000$.

Penis Cosmetic Surgery – Penis widening

In this type of penis cosmetic surgery, which is a penile widening procedure, fat from the patient’s body or a graft made of dermal matrix are placed under the skin at the shaft. The typical girth gain from this procedure is 25% to 35%. The recovery time from this penis cosmetic surgery is about one week, and sexual activity should be avoided for 6-8 weeks post-op. This penis cosmetic surgery typically costs between 5000$ and 8000$. Although penis cosmetic surgery can significantly improve the life of the patient, it is not always considered by those with a smaller than average penis.

Penis Construction

Although not a penis cosmetic surgery, this procedure is very important in the group of penile surgeries. A penis construction surgery is performed either on men that have lost their penis due to injury or illness, or on female-to-male transgendered people.

In this penis plastic procedure a graft is taken, usually from the arm or the leg, and is rolled and placed between the thighs. The urethra is lengthened and connected to the graft.

A prosthetic component can be inserted into the constructed penis to enable erectile function. This penis plastic surgery creates a penis that can be as long as 7 inches, with normal colored skin and capable of erection. For transgendered men to have this surgery performed, they first need to undergo a surgery to remove female sex organs, and one year following the removal surgery, penis construction can be attempted.
