What is Penis Lengthening?
Penis lengthening surgery increases the visible length of the penis by releasing the suspensory ligament that anchors the penile shaft to the pubic bone. This allows the internal portion of the penis to advance forward, increasing the flaccid and, to a lesser degree, erect visible length. MedProper performs this procedure in a JCI and TEMOS-accredited Istanbul hospital with urological surgeons experienced in male genital aesthetics.
How Does Penis Lengthening Work?
- 1A confidential consultation includes a thorough assessment and honest discussion of realistic length gains and expectations.
- 2Under general anaesthesia, a small incision is made in the pubic area, concealed within the natural hair-bearing skin.
- 3The suspensory ligament connecting the penile root to the pubic symphysis is carefully divided.
- 4The penis is advanced forward and secured in its new position with internal sutures and soft tissue rearrangement.
- 5The incision is closed, and post-operative instructions include stretching exercises and weight protocols to maintain the gained length during healing.
Who is a Good Candidate for Penis Lengthening?
- Adult men who feel their penis length is below their desired size and are seeking measurable improvement
- Patients with realistic expectations understanding that typical gains are 2-4 cm in flaccid length
- Those with a degree of penile concealment due to a prominent pubic fat pad (who may also benefit from pubic liposuction)
- Men in good general health without bleeding disorders or active urological conditions
- Non-smokers who are committed to following the post-operative stretching protocol
Why Choose Penis Lengthening at MedProper?
Measurable Length Increase
The procedure typically delivers a 2-4 cm increase in visible flaccid length by releasing the hidden internal portion of the shaft.
Minimally Invasive
A single small incision hidden in the pubic area means minimal scarring and a straightforward recovery.
No Implants Required
Length is gained by releasing natural anatomy rather than introducing foreign materials.
Confidential Professional Care
MedProper provides a fully private, respectful environment with experienced urological surgeons.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients gain 2-4 cm in visible flaccid length. Erect length gain is typically less (1-2 cm). Your surgeon will provide an honest assessment based on your anatomy during consultation.
No. The suspensory ligament release does not affect the nerves, blood vessels, or mechanisms responsible for erection. Erectile function remains unchanged.
Yes. Post-operative traction exercises are essential to prevent the ligament from reattaching in its original position, which would reduce the length gain. Compliance is critical for optimal results.
Yes. Some patients choose to combine suspensory ligament release with fat injection for girth enhancement in a single session. Your surgeon will advise on the best approach.
Sexual activity is typically permitted six weeks after surgery, once the surgical site has adequately healed and your surgeon confirms recovery.
