Remember how we reported on the potential misgivings of penile implant surgery?  How it was a little too easy to get a “botched” penis implant job, and also how the potential side effects and dangers were just plain old not worth this still high priced surgery (yes, it is not coming down like women’s breast implants are, perhaps because a lot of men don’t relish the idea of someone cutting into their penile tissue simply to try to enlarge their member). 

The average price for penile enlargement surgery, or penile implant surgery, is around $9,000 to $10,000, for both the lengthening and thickening service (which is what most men would want I would think, so their penis is both wider and longer, instead of a “pencil” penis or a short and fat penis). 

I guess there are options to get one or the other done, but as I said I’m not really sure why a guy would just want lengthening and not thickening, or vice versa.  That’s a pretty expensive surgery, especially for a procedure that still, unfortunately hasn’t made great strides in efficiently providing a larger penis through surgical intervention. 

Overall, unfortunately, penis implant surgery is really only recommended for men who have had some sort of trauma and need rebuilding of the penis in order to get and maintain an erection.  There are just too many risks, including the inability to get an erection, infection, penile implant migration and other risks that are just too tricky to come up with good solutions for given the fact that this part of the body is used so often, and there is a lot of room for error and trauma to the area after surgery. 

So, it’s a tricky one, but I’m sure with all the medical advances today, and the popularity of penile enlargement options, they may come up with some medically acceptable and low risk way to surgically enhance penis size without jeopardizing performance.
