There is no doubt that surgical methods of penis enlargement have become rather popular and continue to gain popularity. According to statistic, this surgery procedure has been so far performed over the total of 250,000 men all around the world, besides approximately the half of the operations has been performed in the United States. Traditional form of penis enlargement surgery implies to kinds of operation – either the penis length is enhanced or it is made wider in girth. As a rule, these operations are never performed simultaneously, even though some patients do insist on it, since the risks of getting serious complications become much higher if both operations are performed at the same time.
The principle of surgical penis enlargement typically involves the procedure of severance of the suspensory ligament. This element of penis anatomy is responsible for attachment of the penis to the pubic bone. As soon as the ligament is severed, the penis begins to look longer than it did before. But one of the functions of the suspensory ligament is to stabilize the penis during erection and give it a tilt upwards. By severing the ligament, the penis is made looking longer since the hidden parts of it are visible now when more of the penis hangs outside the body. At the same time the severed suspensory ligament may lead to wobbling of the erect penis; its angle in relation to the body in erect state becomes irregular and odd. More than that, the scar tissue and the instances of the erect penis pointing are common complications of this procedure.

The surgical penis enhancement involves also another technique, which is known as a dermal implant. In order to enhance the girth and length of the penis, fat cells from other parts of the body are transplanted to the penis. As a result the penis can acquire rather strange appearance, since the size of the head remains the same and cannot be altered. Clumping is a common complication, since the grafted cells sometimes behave in an irregular way and their distribution is not smooth, which results in a misshapen penis.
In some special cases the potential beneficial results of the surgical solution outweigh the possible adverse side-effects of the operation. This scenario is suitable for people with sexually non-functioning penises, for people suffering from an injury or born with a congenital abnormality, people with severe erectile dysfunction. So, there are many men who truly needed the surgery and benefited from it notwithstanding rather high risks.
For the people seeking a penis enlargement the scenario is not quite the same. According to the professionals involved in human reproductive system surgery, the enlargement surgeries to be performed to enlarge a normal, functional penis are not worth the possible risks of complications and cannot be recommended. Many professionals refuse to practice though they are perfectly qualified to.
Take into consideration the highly extravagant costs of such procedure, ranging from $4000 to $10,000 or even $15,000. Any reasonable person should shudder at the only thought of such expenses for a procedure, which is also unsafe and packed with risks of serious complications – of course, if the purpose is just making your penis bigger in length and girth.
Still lots of persons want or need a larger penis, they are not satisfied with the option Mother Nature gifted them with. Do they have an alternative that is safe for them to try? The answer is YES! The alternatives to penis enlargement surgery include male enhancement pills, patches, oils, pumps and extenders, as well as enhancement exercises. It is perfectly obvious natural that not all of them perform as advertised, and some of them are not worth trying since they do not work properly. As the majority of practitioners came to believe as a result of extended practical experience, just two alternative methods are worth attention. They are traction penis extenders and Jelqing system of exercises.
The traction extender operates on the principle of constant, though very gentle stretching tension that is applied to the penis with the help of a special compact devise called extender or stretcher. This device should be attached to the penis properly and be worn every day for a certain period of time, the longer - the better. Under the influence of traction force the cells of the penis begin to divide in bigger volumes and actually grow additional tissues!
Jelqing system does not require any devices except your own hands and fingers. It achieves penis enlargement by increasing the blood pressure in the penis. That leads to increase of the maximum erect size of the penis that can be made permanent. Sometimes this exercise is nicknamed "milking", since a practitioner has to wrap the thumb and index finger around the semi-erect penis and start making drawing movements in direction away from his body. The repeated movement stimulates the inflow of blood into the glans; the vascularity of the corpus cavernosa and related tissues is increased. Some people, though, prefer to use a special gadget for Jelqing practice.
The enlargement devices described above are safe and efficient; they have proved to be actually working methods for penis enlargement.
