The Procedure

Q: How much length can I gain?

A:  By releasing the suspensory ligament, and in some cases lifting the pubic area, we are able to release the portion of the penis that was previously inside the body. It is still 100% your natural penis, it is now simply more accessible. Using a penis weight or stretching device following the procedure will help ensure the ligaments heal in the proper position. The average patient will see gains of 3-5 cm. Dermal fillers and fat transfer can increase the length by 1 to 3 inches.
