Now I dont need to tell you that knives and the penis just dont mix. Surprisingly though, over 250,000 men have undergone penis enlargement surgery. While having a bigger penis can truly change your life, surgery is not your only option.

What is penis enlargement surgery?

This type of surgery, called phalloplasty, or penis augmentation surgery is one of the most well known ways to enlarge the penis.

For this type of surgery, there are usually two separate operations: one for adding length, and another for adding girth. Length is typically added by cutting a ligament that connects the penis to the pubic bone. This pushes forward part of the penis that was previously hidden inside the body. Girth, or thickness, can be enlarged by inserting fat strips from other parts of the body inside and running up along the penis shaft.

Usually for a steep $10,000, you can undergo this type of operation that only tries to add 1-3 inches to your penis.

Surgery is popular because its effects are almost instant (the operation can take around 4-6 hours). The downside to this is the healing time which can take up to a year, not to mention the possibility of problems arising which can lead to more surgery being needed to fix them.

The drawbacks of this procedure are that your results are not guaranteed, and other problems like discomfort, complications and side effects can bring you right back into the ER.

Some side effects from penis enlargement surgery are discomfort, swelling, and bruising. Others include infections, loss of sensation and function, a curved penis, scarring and bleeding can also occur.

After the surgery, men undergo a whole program designed around healing from this type of operation. This special program uses a method called traction to help the patient heal, or avoid any scars. It also helps the patient add even more length and thickness to the penis size gains added from the surgery.

Because of all the details of this type of surgery, a rigorous screening process is done to see whether a guy is a good candidate, and some guys just dont cut it.

Recently though, doctors have started prescribing the method of traction by itself so these guys, and any guy with a less than average sized penis, can enlarge their penis naturally without surgery at all.

How penis traction devices work

Traction devices are commonly used after penis enlargement surgery to even out the length and girth gains and make them permanent. Instead of going under the knife, men are now using penis stretchers to add growth right at home, resulting in natural penis enlargement size gains for much less the cost of surgery.

Research has proven that these stretchers can help you gain a full inch to your penis size within 6 months. My own use of the stretcher confirms the research currently available. The device is usually worn for up to 8 hours per day, and the gains are permanent.

Visible results can be seen in under one month. While the traction device is the new guy on the block in the penis enlargement world, its proving itself to be an affordable, extremely effective method of natural penis enlargement.
