With breast enlargement becoming so routine I was just wondering if anyone out there has heard when doctors might be offering a penis enlargement surgery? No I don’t need one…really * * * Of course that’s just my opinion I could be wrong. Dennis Miller ---

Penis enlargement is pretty routine these days. Typically they inject your own fat in it (like a liposuction in reverse). ---

There are actually two procedures available. One increases length by cutting away the connective cartilage, pulling everything forward, and tacking it back up (that hurt just to type it). From what I read they can only generate about 1 additional inch. The other is mentioned by **dlv** and adds girth by relocating fat deposits. Neither are failsafe, and complications can spell disaster (Honey, why does Willie look like a clump of cottage cheese?). IIRC, Medscape online - [www.medscape.com](http://www.medscape.com) - has some interesting articles and sobering reports of complications. * * * The overwhelming majority of people have more than the average (mean) number of legs. – E.

Hey, guys. Forget the length. Go for the girth. I’ve had 'em 9" long and 5" around (not the same one, thank God!). I choose Fat Willie over Long Dong any day. ---

Why thank you for sharing that Cyan. Women should go for the tight fit when it comes to surgery on THEIRs. ---
