Penile Lengthening Surgery
🩺 Penile Lengthening Surgery
Hello! Many men may have questions or concerns about penile lengthening surgery, so today I’d like to explain it in a simple and approachable way — no need to feel embarrassed. 😊
First of all, it’s important to understand that penile lengthening surgery is not an unusual or purely cosmetic procedure. In fact, it can help enhance self-confidence and is sometimes performed to correct medically shorter-than-average penile length as well.

💡 What is Penile Lengthening Surgery?
Penile lengthening surgery is a procedure performed by a team of specialized physicians and experienced surgeons to safely and appropriately enhance the length of the penis according to each individual’s anatomy and needs.
The principle of the procedure involves making a small incision at the base of the penis to release the suspensory ligament — the ligament that anchors the penis to the pubic bone.
Once this ligament is released, the portion of the penis that was previously held inside the body can extend outward, increasing the visible length when flaccid. Typically, the gain in length ranges from approximately 2–5 centimeters, or about 10–30% of the original length.
🔍 Does the surgery affect erections?
Many men worry that after the procedure, their erections might not be as firm as before.
However, rest assured — the ability to achieve and maintain an erection remains completely normal.
The only minor change that may occur is a slight downward angle of the erection — for example, from around 120 degrees to about 90 degrees — which does not affect sexual performance or function in any way.
⚙️ General Procedure Steps
1. Consultation with the Doctor
Meet with a specialist to discuss your goals, expected outcomes, and undergo an initial physical assessment before surgery.
2. Preoperative Examination
Within 1–2 days prior to surgery, you will undergo medical tests at the hospital to ensure your body is ready for the procedure.
3. Surgery Day
The operation typically takes about 2–3 hours, followed by an overnight stay at the hospital for post-surgical observation.
4. Recovery Period
After surgery, it is recommended to stay in Bangkok for at least 14 days to allow for daily wound care visits at the clinic.
During the early recovery phase, a drain tube will be placed to remove excess fluids and will be removed within 5–7 days, depending on the patient’s condition.

🩹 Postoperative Care Instructions
-
Drainage tube: Keep the drainage tube in place for 3–7 days, depending on the depth of the surgical wound.
-
Compression dressing: Apply a firm compression bandage over the pubic area for at least one week.
-
Hospital stay: Remain in the hospital for one night and return for follow-up wound assessments with the nurse.
-
Medication: Take all prescribed medications as directed by your doctor.
-
Pain relievers (as needed)
-
Antibiotics (until the full course is completed)
-
Erection-inducing medication (every other day to prevent scar tissue formation)
-
-
Follow-up appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-ups — the first within one week, and another within 1–2 months.
-
Wound care: Keep the area clean and dry; avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks.
-
Sexual activity: Refrain from any sexual activity for at least four weeks.
-
Seek medical attention immediately if you experience unusual swelling, bleeding, or severe pain.
❤️ A Note from the Doctor
Penile lengthening surgery can genuinely help enhance self-confidence and address personal concerns. However, it should only be performed by a qualified and experienced specialist, as it requires a high level of precision and expertise.
And most importantly… No matter the length, what truly matters is your happiness and confidence in yourself. 😊
