Ive heard that some doctors use Dermal Graft Augmentation. What is it?
Dermal Graft Augmentation is an experimental augmentation technique where whole fat strips are placed in the penile shaft. The theory is that these strips will not be reabsorbed as easily as uncleaned fat cells. We feel strongly that this procedure is ineffective and can result in numbness and uncorrectable scarring when the fat strips are reabsorbed. Also, this procedure requires three to six hours of surgery, which means there are the attendant risks that come from being under anesthesia for long periods of time.
