Patients choose this type of surgery for many reasons. Some people want to increase penis size to improve their sex life. Others do it as a way to boost their confidence, which then leads to additional benefits in other areas of their lives. For some, it's a medical necessity, and for others, it's a form of cosmetic surgery.
Ligamentotomy (other names: increasing penis length, lengthening the penis) is a surgery to remove the suspensory ligament of the penis. This operation is aimed at enlarging the visible part of the penis.
The essence of this activity is as follows: in normal life, only the external part of the corpora cavernosa of the penis that we see with our eyes participates in the erection process. However, there is also a perineal part of the corpora cavernosa of the penis, which visually does not participate in the erection process because it is kept from enlarging by powerful ligaments. Crossing the ligaments of the penis allows the perineal part of the corpora cavernosa to participate in the erection process, which significantly increases the length of the penis and improves blood supply to the penis.
When is it really necessary to cut the ligament?
Penis enlargement surgery is suitable for many different patients and conditions. If you have micropenis syndrome, a curved penis, a sunken penis, or a penile injury, this procedure can help increase penis size. Some people choose penis enlargement for personal or cosmetic reasons rather than medical reasons, which is why it is also applied as a cosmetic surgery procedure.
Indications for ligament cutting:
There are 2 groups of indications for penis lengthening surgery:
Medical indications:
- Peyronie's disease, in which there may be a pronounced deformity of the penis with a decrease in its length;
- Cavernous fibrosis;
- The "hidden" penis is also known as the micropenis.
Aesthetic indications:
- The desire to enhance a man's attractiveness;
- The desire to increase a man's self-esteem;
- Penile dysmorphia is general dissatisfaction with the appearance, shape, or size of a person's penis.
The lower limit of the average size of the penis in an erect state is considered to be a length of 12 cm, a size below 12 cm can be considered a reason for this surgery.
How much can you enlarge your penis?
After passing the ligament, the length of the penis when erect will increase by 2-3 cm, the result must be ensured by actively wearing the stretching device for a month after surgery, 2-3 hoursevery day and passive traction around the clock. To achieve maximum effect, the duration of wearing the expander is not limited, because after passing the ligaments, nothing prevents the expansion of the corpora cavernosa.
How to lengthen the penis using the ligament cutting method:
The operation is performed under anesthesia. A skin incision is made in the middle of the scrotum, through this incision the surgeon will gain access to the penile suspensory ligament, which will be cut. Absorbable sutures are placed on the scrotal skin.
Preoperative preparation includes undergoing a simple examination, including:
- Consultation with a urologist;
- Clinical and biochemical blood tests;
- Blood tested for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis;
- ECG;
- Consult with an anesthesiologist.
How is penis enlargement surgery performed?

- Anesthesia - intravenous or spinal;
- The doctor makes an incision in the skin along the seam of the scrotum (2-3 cm) reaching the ligaments of the penis and intersecting them. A vacuum drainage system is placed, which is removed after 12 hours and absorbable cosmetic sutures are applied. Operating time - 20 minutes;
- The next morning - removed the drain hose, learned how to put on the extension hose, sent home on fire.
Penis enlargement surgery time
The surgery usually takes 20 to 30 minutes.
If the "invisible" transscrotal ligamentectomy does not produce the expected results due to poor stretching of the suprapubic skin with the extender, you can supplement the ligamentectomy performed withVertical horizontal minimally invasive laminoplasty in the suprapubic area, this will add an additional 2-3 cm to the operation performed. In total, based on the results of the two stages, you can get +5-6 cm.
What is the recovery time after ligament surgery?
The stitches will heal in 5-7 days. Before leaving the hospital, the patient will have a consultation with a urologist, during which he will be explained that it is necessary to wear the extender for 3-4 months. Subsequent rehabilitation involves wearing the extender. The patient gets behind the wheel or starts work after 2-3 days. Return to sexual activity in one month.
