Ligament Release Surgery Explained

Ligament release surgery, also known as suspensory ligament release, is a surgical procedure designed to increase the flaccid length of the penis. It is often considered by men who want a modest gain in length without affecting girth.

How It Works:

  • The suspensory ligament attaches the penis to the pubic bone.

  • During surgery, the ligament is carefully released to allow more of the shaft to hang outside the body.

  • This procedure typically provides a marginal increase in erect length, usually around 1–2 cm, depending on the individual.

Myths vs Facts:

  • Myth: Ligament release drastically increases erect length.
    Fact: Gains are mostly noticeable in flaccid length; erect length increase is minimal.

  • Myth: The penis becomes unstable after surgery.
    Fact: Proper surgical technique ensures stability and function remain intact.

  • Myth: All ligament release surgeries are unsafe.
    Fact: When performed by a qualified urologist, the procedure is safe with minimal complications.

Combining Procedures:

  • Many patients combine ligament release surgery with penis fillers to improve girth simultaneously.

  • This combination addresses both length and girth concerns for a more balanced result.

Recovery:

  • Most men resume sexual activity after six weeks.

  • Temporary swelling and bruising are common, but careful post-operative care ensures smooth recovery.

  • Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor progress and results.
