A lot of men desire a larger penis, because the perception that this external sexual organ is too small can sometimes lead to a lack of self-esteem and other mental health problems. Depending upon your physique, penis enhancement surgery may be able to extend the length of this organ by between 2 and 5 cm. The abdominal skin around the pubic mound is cut using a Y-shaped incision. Through this aperture, the tendon which is attached to the penis itself and to the pubic mound is partially severed. This then causes the erectile tissue to fall forwards, pulling the penis further out and away from the body so that it thus hangs lower. The tendon is then reattached lower down using further body tissue. One advantage of this particular procedure is that no nerve or vascular tissue is cut and the penis root remains untouched. Patients will be advised to allow a short period of rest and recovery to get used to a penis extension, after which sexual activity can be gradually resumed. A gentle massage performed alone or with a partner can also facilitate a return to normal function.
