I am inquiring about penis lengthening. I’ve done some research I’ve read some good things and some bad things. What concerns me most is
1. Erectile dysfunction – I certainly don’t wanna have a problem with that after the surgery. I don’t wanna solve a size problem but get another problem.
2. The before and after pics look great, but I read that the lengthening really only makes a difference in the flaccid state, and that an erection won’t be directed upwards anymore but towards the floor.
So my questions are : what are the chances of me having to take Viagra after the surgery to have an erection, will my erection point to the floor, and how much does this cost?

Good afternoon Ramsey,
Thank you for your interest in what we do. Dr. Whitehead is retiring and referred your inquiry to our office. My phalloplasty experience dates back to1986 and includes several thousand procedures.
Lengthening results are in the erect as well as flaccid stage, and penises go up pretty as a before, but are more deflectable.
So the standing joke is if you can hang 2 wet towels on our penis now without any deviation, after surgery plan on only one wet towel. The root of the penis is attached to the underside of the pubic bone which causes its typical elevation. In surgery, only a portion of the suspensory ligament is released, the proximal portion is not disturbed.
In our experience with perhaps 2500 cases, only one reported some erectile impairment, and when referred to a specialist for evaluaion, he felt my operation did not cause this. This singular incident occured about 10 or more years ago.
Please review our website http://www.penisdoctor.com/ for te answers to many commonly asked questions. Our fees
are also published there.
After reading the attached, if you believe I am the doctor for you, please initiate a consultation over the phone with our office by sending us your name, address, and telephone number in an envelope along with a check for 250. We’ll
get started ASAP. We’ll have a lot to talk about.
Cordially,
Harold M. Reed, M.D.
