Subcutaneous Penile Implant Versus Alloderm Grafts
Every year, thousands of men undergo various penile enlargement procedures. Two of the most popular procedures 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 may be effective in improving penile length and girth, both procedures have their own benefits as well as their own disadvantages. Below is a concise comparison of what these two procedures have to offer included to help you decide which procedure best suits your needs.
Alloderm Grafts
This procedure increases the length and girth of the penis by implanting tissue harvested from human cadavers into the penis. Tissues are collected from a compatible dead donor and transplanted into the patient. The effects and the mixed results of Alloderm grafts are similar to the results of 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, a method that has been used for years, the use of Alloderm grafts and their long term effects on the body are still being studied. Furthermore, the company responsible for manufacturing Alloderm grafts (Lifecell), specifically recommends against the use of Alloderm grafts for penile enlargement surgery.
Frequency
Every year, thousands of men in the U.S. undergo penile enlargement surgery. Subcutaneous Penile Implant surgeries make up more than half of all penile enlargement procedures. This is due largely because of the high success rate of Subcutaneous Penile Implants. Furthermore, Doctors and Urologists prefer this method because of the proven track record of safety and effectiveness associated with Subcutaneous Penile Implants. |
