What Penis Enlargement Surgeries Are Available? A Longer Penis Is No Dream

Let’s start with a quick review of penis anatomy. The penis has three main parts:

1. Glans: This is the most sensitive area and is usually covered by the foreskin. If you’ve been circumcised, it is often exposed, making it look larger.
2. Shaft: This is the part you can see, and it determines the “visible length.”
3. Root: This part is beneath the skin, near the pubic bone, and many people don’t pay attention to it. The length of the root that is visible is affected by the fat around the pubic bone. The more fat there is, the more deeply the root is buried, making the penis look shorter.

Today, we’ll focus on the suspensory ligament.
4. Suspensory ligament: Located at the base of the penis, the suspensory ligament anchors the penis to the pelvic area. It consists of a superficial and a deep layer.

Generally, the female G-spot is about 5–7 cm from the vaginal opening, and the male prostate is about 3–4 cm from the anus.
An erect length of 7–11 cm is sufficient for a sexual partner to experience pleasure during intercourse.
As for flaccid length, it is a key factor in self-confidence.

Patients often ask me, “Is increasing flaccid length worthwhile?”
I often ask in return, “Does your penis spend more time flaccid or erect?”

According to Korean doctors, businesspeople in Korea often meet to discuss business at jjimjilbangs or bathhouses, where penises are exposed.
In these settings, the size and length of a flaccid penis can affect the confidence conveyed during a conversation and the other person’s perception, indirectly influencing the outcome of a business deal.
Some people even get penis enlargement surgery before entering the military, for fear of being bullied there.

This is the most common penis-lengthening surgery. It aims to increase visible penile length by cutting the suspensory ligament. Once the ligament is cut, the penis, which was previously held back by it, can extend outward, increasing its length.

Pros: Small incision, about 3–4 cm; increases flaccid length by 1–3 cm; erect length remains unchanged. Short recovery period.
Cons: Cutting both the superficial and deep suspensory ligaments may reduce penile stability and change the angle of erection. Cutting only the superficial suspensory ligament may also change the angle of erection, but the effect is minor and difficult to notice.

V-Y plasty lengthening near the pubic bone extends the skin connecting the penis to the abdomen outward. It can be performed together with suspensory ligament release.
Pros: Increases flaccid length by 1–3 cm; erect length remains unchanged.
Cons: Large incision (5–7 cm), noticeable scar, long recovery period.

This procedure increases penile length, especially when flaccid, by implanting an allogeneic dermal graft.
Pros: Small incision; increases flaccid length by 2–4 cm; erect length remains unchanged.
Cons: Higher cost and longer recovery period.

Some people have the base of the penis buried in a fat pad. Surgery can remove this fat, or liposuction can be performed to expose the base of the penis and bring it out into the open.
Pros: Can effectively increase penile length; both flaccid and erect length increase.
Cons: Only suitable for people with excess fat.

The tunica albuginea is incised and lengthened using surgical techniques, followed by placement of a penile implant in the corpora cavernosa.
Pros: Both flaccid and erect length increase. The penile implant provides reliable rigidity, so you no longer need to worry about firmness or length.
Cons: More invasive, higher risk of infection, and expensive.

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. In general:
Minor procedures such as liposuction and suspensory ligament release may have shorter recovery periods, typically 2–3 weeks.
More complex procedures, such as V-Y plasty lengthening and allogeneic dermal graft implantation, usually require 1–2 months of recovery, along with regular checkups and follow-up care.

The cost of each procedure varies widely and usually depends on factors such as the complexity of the surgery, the surgeon’s expertise, and the location. Typical price ranges are as follows:

Suspensory ligament release: NT$80,000–150,000

Allogeneic dermal graft implantation: NT$220,000–300,000, depending on the size and thickness.

Pubic fat excision/liposuction: NT$50,000–200,000, depending on the extent of liposuction and the equipment brand.

V-Y plasty lengthening: NT$80,000–120,000

Penile implant: NT$250,000–500,000

Everyone’s penis is different. Penis enhancement procedures require an individual assessment and a detailed discussion of your needs.
The right procedure varies from person to person!

We recommend discussing your needs carefully with your doctor before surgery to achieve the results you want!
