Penis Enlargement Surgery: Become a Shower Not a Grower

Are you a grower and wish you were a shower? Penis enlargement surgery may help you become more of a shower! Enlarging procedures can help make your flaccid penis look longer, which could have some benefits for you.

The Difference Between a Grower and a Shower

Just in case you don’t know what a “grower” and a “shower” is, this refers to how much your penis grows when going from the flaccid state to the erect state. Those with longer flaccid penises that don’t increase in length as much are showers (like show-er, not like what you do in the morning to get clean). Those with a shorter flaccid penis that grow more during an erection are growers.

So, which one is better? That really depends on you and your preferences, but there are a few benefits of being a shower instead of a grower. That’s why some men choose penis enlargement surgery to help elongate the flaccid penis.

Women May Prefer Longer Flaccid Penises

One study from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that women may prefer longer flaccid penises. The women in the study tended to look longer at models with longer flaccid penises, as well as rate them higher. Since showers tend to have longer flaccid penises, the results may indicate that women prefer showers to growers.

Now, most medical professionals agree that the flaccid penis isn’t a great measure of how long the penis will be when erect. However, that doesn’t mean that potential sexual partners will know this. They may perceive growers as having smaller penises due to flaccid length.

Showers Might Be More Common than Growers

Also, a 2018 study of growers vs. showers found that about ¾ of the men in the study were showers, with only ¼ of them fitting into the grower category. So, this may also affect how others view your flaccid penis, as growers may be more rare.

If you’re a grower, you may have run into situations where your partners were concerned about your penis being shorter than average, or you might be self-conscious about this happening. This might affect your sex life. Some guys even avoid wearing certain pants because their crotch bulge may not look as big if they’re a grower.

Fortunately, male cosmetic surgery can help your flaccid penis look longer to help with these issues.

How Penis Enlargement Surgery Works

If you’re interested in Houston penis enlargement, our team at Texas Phalloplasty Institute can help. We’ll schedule a consultation to discuss the results you’re looking for, whether you’re a good candidate for enlargement, and what to expect.

During surgery, our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Robert Capriotti, uses a procedure called suspensory ligament release to help your penis look longer. Essentially, it involves cutting the ligament that holds your penis to your pubic bone. This allows more of your penis to hang outside of your body, which can help you look longer.

After surgery, length can increase after your procedure, gradually over about six months or so. However, much of this depends on you and how well you follow our aftercare instructions. For instance, you generally need to do penis stretches a certain number of times a day to help with your results.
