Penis Lengthening Surgery Journal and Progress Report
BackgroundHave been practicing PE 'on and off ' for 6 years. I have utilized a penis extender with good temporary results, manual exercises/beginners routines etc, penis pumping consistently for 6 years and
Hanging with both a Bib and Vacuum and an ESL40 ADS. Having tried most techniques for PE I was able to gain about .5' permanent
Flaccid and .25
Inch Erect. The one variable is my
Flaccid, which will increase when actively stretching or
Hanging by about another .25 inches to 4.5\" but will retract when not
Hanging or stretching back to 4.0-4.25\". MeasurementsBeginning FL 3.5'FGMS 4.5'FGBS 5.0'NBPEL 6'

BPEL 7.1'MSEG 5.5'BSEG 6.0'Current Post OpFL 4.5' I feel I have made decent gains considering there are many men on this forum who gain nothing. I have accepted that gains for me also come in very small increments and slowly. All factors considered, I made a personal decision to have my ligs cut. My main focus from the beginning of starting PE was to increase my
Flaccid length. It has been something that has bothered me since adolescence. I have a muscular build and large thighs which have always given the illusion of a smaller penis even though my
Flaccid measurements are average to above average. I have pumped for 6 years and this would generally increase my
Flaccid hang to 5.0
Girth by 4.5 in length, which made me feel very confident in shower/gym or social nude situations (my wife and I are naturists). It just becomes rather inconvenient to pump everyday or in situations where privacy is limited. This also contributed to my decision for a procedure which could provide more long term length and most importantly 'confidence'!! In my personal experience when I would refrain from PE I could lose as much as .5 inches in
Flaccid gains, sometimes retracting to 3.9'. This became very discouraging and especially while palpating I could locate the fact that I had very prominent and thick suspensory ligaments which ran medially but mainly laterally on the base of shaft. I finally became convinced I wanted to remove what I thought was the problem and see if it worked. My research with members and Dr. Rosenthal, noted very small side effects if any from the modern technique of this surgery (1\" horizontal incision), so I had the resources and the will and decided to finally have it done. I am blessed with a very supportive wife and she was very supportive in my decision. The procedureEverything is very well orchestrated and I was taken to a pre-op room greeted by a nurse and given instructions on recovery. Shortly there after the Anesthesiologist came in and introduced himself. He is extremely well regarded and is very personable and gives you a good feeling that you are in very competent hands. Lastly Dr. Rosenthal came in, did a quick pre op exam, goes over the game plan and that\'s it. Wheeled me into the surgery room, blood was pumping! Felt my head get a little tingly, said 'whoa'. Woke up 3 hours later in recovery. The anesthesiologist also had the courtesy to come out to the waiting area and let my wife know that everything went flawlessly. Only trouble I had was a little nausea from the anesthesia, which they quickly remedied with some IV meds. Day 1I spent the good part of the day relaxing in the hotel room trying to stay comfortable while taking Vicodin to help with the pain. My incision was greater than the expected 1', mine was more like 2' but this is particular to every persons
Flaccid Girth/anatomy. My penis is on the thick side so the ligaments are therefore at wider points. The stitches were done very cleanly with only 1 high point, I anticipate it will heal very well. Pain was tolerable and honestly I took the Vicodin as a precautionary measure once the nerve block in my penis wore off. A drain was placed above the incision to help control the fluid and swelling, this was the biggest source of discomfort or any pain. I found it very difficult to move or sleep with this drain in. That night I also had uncontrollable erections that were very firm. So any talk that this surgery would ruin my
Erection all together or make it weaker was not true for me after the first night. These erections were painful though and they prevented me from sleeping most of the night. First night I slept approximately 2 hours because of the drain, erections, and I am a stomach sleeper which is impossible post op. Day 2Swelling was very prevalent day 2 and had terrible itching in my scrotum due to swelling. Drainage was manageable and incision was healthy. The pain was very manageable and I elected to only take Advil. A follow up appointment was scheduled that morning with the Dr. and he examined everything and removed the drain (which hurt like a bitch). Instructions were given for dressing changes,
Hanging and general post op care. Those wondering, The Grip and the LG
Hanger were suggested. The rest of the day once again stayed off my feet, rested and remained hydrated. Pain was very manageable and relatively non existent after the drain was removed. Due to swelling and dressing it was hard to tell but my wife confirmed it looked approximately .5' longer, which is what I had estimated as well. This was not very important as many men actually can retract after surgery so any gain at this point was a good sign. Dr. Rosenthal even mentioned after the procedure that you may not notice any gain until you begin
Hanging. In my case my penis definitely now hung about 1' below my testicles, previously it was about .25 to .50' beyond them. Hard to get a good measurement right now due to pelvic swelling but it appears to be 4.5'
Flaccid. Rough night sleeping again due to having to sleep flat on my back. Further updates will come at more import points in the healing process, including
Erect gains which I am not concerned about but I am sure members are interested in. But I mainly thought that this information could be useful for men who were curious about details surrounding the immediate procedure. It\'s also suggested to refrain from heavy lifting and exercise, masturbating and sex for 1 month and also to take 1 week off from work.
Hanging allowed to begin at 3-4 weeks post op, depending on ones incision health and pain level.The surprising thing about this surgery is that there is no protocol given to you by the surgeon regarding post op rehab/
Hanging, only wound care. The
Hanging program is mainly left up to the individual. It would be my highest suggestion to anyone who is considering having this procedure done, to be very familiar with
Hanging and general PE. An uneducated injury or improper usage of equipment could yield poor results due to this procedure relying heavily on post op
Hanging!
