I stil find it hard to believe that nobody has ever ganied 1-2 inches erect length from surgery Hello all, I had that exact same question. I'm brand new and would like to post my experience thus far. I'm a 35 year old black guy and always thought i was on the short end (3.5 x 4.5 flacid - 5.9 x 5.5 erect) but had a strong, fully functional penis. However I have always wanted more length, so over the years I tried pills, pumps, stretches and nothing seemed to do anything for me (the pump seemed to add about 1/8 of permanent girth but no more). So (with much discussion with my wife who told me i didnt need it but for deep personal reasons i wanted 2 more inches flaccid and at least 1 more erect), i finally decided to make the jump and get PE surgery via lengthening only by ligament cutting. Mon 5/16/11 i went to Dr. Guinta in Alexandria VA and got the procedure done. He was pleasant, informative, the staff was very courteous and helpful. The facilities were professional and the OR and prep areas were clean and organized. Day 1 post op, not much pain but high level of discomfort. I was mostly out of it from the anesthesia. Got my pain killers and antibiotics and had my wife tuck me in. Day 2 post op, LOTS of pain and discomfort, but was able to drive. Went to the 24 hour post op visit and Dr Guinta removed the girdle and gauze but left the bandage around my penis. I was now 4.5 flacid and he showed me pictures of before and after. I was pleased to know I gained an inch, but was heavily doubting if I should have done this. It is a *LOT* of work I have to do to get the gains that I want, or even close to them. Before this I was *fine*, nothing was wrong with my performance, but i had issues with my length and wanted to give good penetration like so many guys i've heard has. But now I had the following cons: (1) out 5600 bucks (2) no sex - 4 weeks (3) no excersising - 4 weeks (4) no drinking - until meds complete (5) no motorcycle riding - 3 weeks (6) no guarantee that I can perform on the same level that I used to after I heal, i.e: if it aint broke dont fix it. (7) constant pain and discomfort - for about 3-6 weeks. Now most of these cons are temporary thank God, but still I wouldnt have to deal with them had I not made this decision. I was hoping and praying this would turn out okay... Day 3 thru 7 post op, went back to work hobbling around ( I work at a desk so at least its not manual labor, which is why I have to excersise 3-4 times a week) and told everyone i had bursitis in my knee and have to get it drained. Started regular finger stretches 4-5 times a day for 20+ seconds as directed. I got an erection a few times because i got aroused accidentally by my wife and some chicks I saw on Univision, but the erection was pretty painful at this point and quickly went down. (I hope I wont have this problem when the time comes to have sex again Telling myself its temporary, still have a ton of healing to do) Day 8 post op, took the wrap off of my penis and much to my chagrin, my penis retracted back to its original 3.5 length. Now I'm *REALLY* starting to regret getting this done and feel a mild sense of anger with myself and depression starting to set in. Day 9 to present post op, still discomfort but feeling better. Still finger stretching. Dr said not to use the stretcher until 14 days after surgery. Hope I can do that being that my pubic area is still swollen with a huge rock hard lump under the incision area that the Dr said was normal. Hope it goes down because I can't have a stretcher pressing against that area in such a sensitive state, the stitches still havent all come out. I'm considering weights due to this altho Dr Guinta strongly believes in the stretcher. Also I have gotten an erection without the bandage, I don't see any increase in size, infact I'm about 5.5 now as opposed to 5.9 pre op. Also It doesnt stand straight up anymore, but more horizontally. I'm hoping still that i'm healing and have a lot of work to do, Dr Guinta said the angle will stay the same once i'm healed and i'll be just as strong as I previously was. So in short (no pun intended), I think if I had a Delorian I would hit 88 miles an hour and go back prior to Mon 5/16 and cancel the appointment, but thats *my opinion* due to my recent experiences. I'm still going to give it a chance however since I'm fully committed now having done the surgery already, so i have no choice. I am hoping that once I can use the stretcher (or weights if i go that route) that I will finally see the gains I originally hoped for, or at least get a permanent 1 inch flacid and at 1 erect, hoping and praying for more. It would be sad if I ended up the same size or worse... shorter with poor performance I plan to post from here my experiences as time goes on so that others considering this route will have something to arm themselves with should they still want to do this. Everyone is their own person and makes their own decisions, but true life experiences such as mine may help others in that process. Who knows, hopefully this story may eventually have a happy ending. Either way, happy or sad, I will share my experiences with you and let you know where I stand (again no pun intended) with my final flaccid and erect lengths after this surgery.....

hopeful, thanks for sharing your experiences... accounts of pure lengthening procedures are far and few here. What's important is to note that your gains will almost only be realized via long-term traction (hence Dr. Giunta's insistence on stretchers). You may be looking at at least 3-6 months of rigorous commitment to satisfy any erect length gains, and even then to what extent is unknown. Please keep us posted and feel free to start a progress report on the other forum so that members can keep track with your lengthening surgery (You can copy & paste this post if you wish).

@ hopeful, Wow! Thanks for sharing your story with us here. Please keep us abreast of your progress. I am not sure, but did you contact one of our moderators, idm, who got work done by Dr. Giunta with some fairly good results. You can read about it here: phalloplasty.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fft&action=display&thread=232Don't be offended, but were you a smoker and did you experience any keloid formation? I hope what you experience is only temporarily and you will start seeing gains ~30 days post-op. I believe Dr. Giunta gives/sells a stretcher to all his patients, but you may also want to consider autoextender and thegrip. The people from thegrip can give you some free advice about post-op stretching. After you get the length you want, are you going to get PMMA or some other girth procedure? Remember, PE is a journey. Wish you the best.

Hi Hopeful Indeed, PE is a journey….Length gains are possible…with consistent stretching, hanging…and patience… I’m living proof…Originally, I was 6.3 inches in length, but I am now over 8 inches…I had my ligaments cut, but I didn’t really make any substantial gains until I started a stretching and hanging routine…I still use an ADS every day and hang weights every night…My goal is to be 8.5 inches…And when I reach that, I guess my new goal will be 9 inches…That would be an absolute dream for me… You have to remain positive and committed…and “hopeful”. This is an awesome site that will give you the info and encouragement to continue your journey in the right direction…. Messageman BTW…I have a thread, “Messageman’s Journey”, which will give you an in-depth look at my story…

hey messageman do you think cutting the ligs helped you gain?
How quick did you get that 8 inches and is the erection still stable?

Oh and should someone try thegrip before any surgery? It might be a good idea to try thegrip before surgery to see how it feels and decide if one will have the discipline to use it daily for 6 months to a year IF one decides to have their ligs cut. You can call the guys at thegrip for suggestions/advice regarding using thegrip and lengthening surgery.

If you are interested in lig cutting then you should email all the Dr's that perform the surgery and ask what post op regime they recommend. I'd guess they'd all suggest you wear an ADS for several hours per day, for 6 months.

so whats the point in cutting the lig? might aswell just try without cutting it right? Perhaps idm, hoddle, 8ball, Dan Salas, or thegrip people can explain it better, but in cutting the lig, the spongy part of the penis can stretched easier rather than having to also stretch the tough suspensory ligament. Not sure if I explained it good or not, but hopefully one of our members can explain it better...

I believe what you say is the case. The problem arises when people cut the lig and then DO NOT follow a strict routine of stretching and that can lead to retraction...

hopeful, How are you doing? Were you able to PM idm about his advice? I think it is too early to be down on yourself. Follow the doctor's advice for the post-op instructions and then we he says it is ok to stretch with either autoextender or thegrip - do it and BE CONSISTENT! Call the folks at thegrip and they'll explain about using heavy weights for 20-30 minutes followed by 6-8 of ADS. Good luck to you and look forward to reading about your progress.
