Every year thousands of men undergo various penile enlargement procedures. Two of the most popular procedures for penile enlargement are Subcutaneous Penile Implant surgery and Alloderm grafts. Both of these procedures promise improved penile length and girth for men who wish to improve their size and appearance. While both can be effective in improving penile length and girth, both procedures have their own benefits and disadvantages. Below is a quick comparison of what these procedures have to offer in order to help you decide which procedure best suits your needs.

Alloderm Grafts

This is a procedure where penile length and girth gains are sought by implanting tissue harvested from human cadavers into the penis. Tissues are collected from a compatible dead donor and transplanted into a patient wishing to increase their penile size. The effects and mixed results of Alloderm grafts are similar to certain other types of grafts, injections and implants where increased length and girth is sought by adding penile tissue volume.

Advantages of Subcutaneous Penile Implant compared to Alloderm Grafts

FDA Approved

Subcutaneous Penile Implants are the only FDA and medically approved procedure for increasing and improving the size and appearance of the penis. The FDA is charged with regulating the medical and drug industries, and has approved the use of Subcutaneous Penile Implant surgery as a medically proven method of increasing penile size.

The use of Alloderm grafts as a procedure for increasing penile size is relatively new. Unlike Subcutaneous Penile Implants, which have been used for years, the use of Alloderm grafts and their long term effects on the body is still being studied. Furthermore, the company that manufactures Alloderm grafts (Lifecell) specifically recommends against using Alloderm grafts for penile enlargement surgery.

Frequency

Every year, thousands of men in the U.S.A. undergo penile enlargement surgery. Subcutaneous Penile Implant surgeries make up more than half of all penile enlargement procedures. This is largely because of the high success rate of Subcutaneous Penile Implants. Doctors and Urologists also prefer this method because of the proven track record of safety and effectiveness associated with Subcutaneous Penile Implants.
