Enhancing Confidence with Expert Urologic Care

For men seeking a permanent and medically sound way to increase penile length (음경 길이 연장술 – eumgyeong giri yeonjangsul), penile lengthening surgery offers a well-established option. While the topic is often surrounded by stigma or misinformation, reputable clinics like Gangnam J Urology Clinic offer this procedure under the care of board-certified urologists—prioritizing both safety and natural-looking results. It’s not about vanity; it’s about self-esteem, proportion, and personal comfort.

What Is Penile Lengthening Surgery?

Penile lengthening surgery involves a surgical release of the suspensory ligament that anchors the penis to the pubic bone. By releasing this ligament, more of the internal portion of the penile shaft becomes visible externally, increasing the flaccid length.

This procedure does not increase erect length but can result in 1–3 cm of visible flaccid length gain, depending on the patient’s anatomy.

Who Might Consider This Procedure?

• Men dissatisfied with flaccid penile length
• Those experiencing “buried penis” due to excess fat or aging
• Patients with psychological stress or self-consciousness in locker room/social situations
• Individuals seeking aesthetic balance or correction after trauma or surgery
• Those with realistic expectations and a desire for improved confidence

What Happens During the Procedure?

 1. Private Consultation

• A respectful, one-on-one discussion with a urologist to understand motivations, expectations, and suitability.
• Medical history, genital exam, and optional photography for planning.

2. Surgery Day

• Performed under local or general anesthesia (depending on patient preference).
• A small incision is made at the pubic area.
• The suspensory ligament is carefully released.
• Some procedures include V–Y advancement flap or fat grafting for improved visual length.
• Optional penile traction device may be prescribed post-op to support results.

3. Duration

• The surgery typically takes 1–1.5 hours. Most patients go home the same day.

Expected Outcomes

• Flaccid Length Gain: Usually 1–3 cm, varies by anatomy and surgical technique.
• No Change in Erect Length: Erection angle may become more horizontal.
• Improved Aesthetic Proportion: Especially when combined with girth procedures or pubic fat reduction.

Results are long-lasting, and psychological satisfaction tends to be high when expectations are properly managed.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Downtime: Most men return to daily activities within 3–5 days, but avoid sexual activity for 4–6 weeks.
• Mild Swelling or Bruising: Expected around the incision and shaft for the first week.
• Traction Therapy: Some surgeons recommend a penile stretcher device to maintain length gain.
• Follow-Up Visits: Monitor wound healing and ensure desired outcome.
