A recent study published in Sexual Medicine Reviews reveals the problems associated with the penile enhancement procedures available today, many of which carry great risk and little reward. Some of these methods include:
- Suspensory ligament incision: This treatment severs the ligament that runs along the top of the penis.
- Fat injection: Fat is taken from your own body and injected into the penis.
- Tissue grafting: Tissues, such as skin and fat, are taken from a donor site either on your lower back or along the buttocks crease and it is grafted on to the penis.
- Flap: a flap of skin and tissue is used to enhance penile circumference.
- Penile disassembly: The cap of the penis is separated from the corpora cavernosa and rib cartilage is placed between the two to extend the length of the penis.
The hidden cost of dermal fat grafting for male enhancement
Dermal fat grafting is prone to many risks and has no guarantee of lasting results. Surgeons found that the body will absorb anywhere from 70 to 80% of the grafted fat and up to 20% of the skin. After a few years, the results of the surgery are often insignificant. There is also the unnecessary risk associated with dermal fat grafting for penile enhancement such as infection and asymmetrical results or issues related to the growth of fibrotic tissue. Due to high complications related to this method, Dr. Elist is not in favor of this option for male enhancement.
Why other methods are ineffective
Other methods of penis enhancement, both surgical or non-surgical, have their drawbacks. This is either due to disappointment with results, inefficacy, or complications that arise post-surgery. Surgery that involves fat transfer or grafts will often result in absorption of much of the fat grafted. Other surgeries that are quite invasive pose the risk of complications that could affect future sexual function or cause significant health risks that may necessitate the reversal of the procedure.
