What’s a Micropenis? Can Houston Penis Enlargement Help?

If you have an abnormally small penis, you might have micropenis. Many men with this condition seek Houston penis enlargement procedures to help their penises look longer. While micropenis doesn’t typically affect sexual function, it can cause embarrassment and self-esteem issues for some men. Surgery can help your penis look longer and larger, which may help you feel more confident about your penis.

What is Micropenis?

First, what is micropenis? As the name suggests, this is a condition where your penis is much smaller than average. Micropenis is rare. It affects an estimated 0.6% of the population. Typically, micropenis is diagnosed during infancy or childhood. Diagnosing micropenis involves a doctor measuring the length of the penis. The length is then compared to average size by age group. For adults, micropenis is a stretched penis length of less than 3 ⅔ inches, or an erect penis of less than 5 inches.

Some potential causes for micropenis include genetics and testosterone deficiencies.

In young boys, testosterone may help encourage penile growth for micropenis. However, this may not work for every case. Many men with micropenis decide to get Houston penis enlargement surgery during adulthood, especially if previous treatments were ineffective.

Houston Penis Enlargement Options for Micropenis

In some cases, surgery may help with micropenis treatment. Men with micropenis may choose lengthening procedures to help enhance the appearance of their penis. For example, suspensory ligament release is a phalloplasty procedure that can help the penis appear longer.

This procedure involves cutting the suspensory ligament that holds the penis to the pubic bone. The result is that more of the penis can hang outside of the body. This can also alter the angle of how the penis sits to help it appear longer.

Just like any other surgery, results can vary. For suspensory ligament release male enhancement procedures, length gain depends on many different factors, including how well you follow post-op instructions. While results vary, the average length gain is one to two inches of length for the flaccid penis. While this procedure does not increase length for the erect penis, many men find they feel more confident in the bedroom and in locker room situations after the surgery.
