Alloderm

Medical Penis Enlargement's Newest Invention

Alloderm developed by LifeCell Corporation, is made from thin sheets of freeze dried cadaver skin i.e. skin taken from dead humans. This skin is treated to remove the risk of rejection by the recipient and to ensure it is free of diseases such as AIDS and Hepatitis. Originally designed as an effective skin or dermis substitute for skin grafting procedures, how Alloderm works for penile enhancement is quite simple and straightforward.

Alloderm and Penis Enlargement

Alloderm graft strips are layered around the penis in a similar manner to Dermal Fat Grafts. Several layers of Alloderm can be stacked on top of one another to provide the desired increase in girth. The use of Alloderm grafts for penile augmentation has several advantages. An important benefit is that the graft tissue is not taken from the patient and no incisions need to be made elsewhere on the body. Therefore, recovery from surgery is less painful and the often visible scars to the buttocks associated with Dermal Fat Graft Augmentation are avoided. Also, the entire procedure takes far less time to complete.

Safer Than Dermal Transfer

Whereas Dermal Fat Graft Augmentation takes at least three hours to perform, the use of Alloderm reduces this time to around one hour. The risks associated with anesthetics are reduced and because the procedure is less invasive, it is even possible to carry out the entire operation under a local anaesthetic. The use of Alloderm does seem to eliminate many of the drawbacks associated with Dermal Fat Graft Augmentation. However, as with any procedure complications can occur.

Alloderm Complications

Although remote, the possibility of rejection or absorption of the tissue does remain. Furthermore, as with the use of Dermal Fat grafts, there is a possibility that Alloderm grafts will contract over time resulting in further complications. However, possibly the greatest drawback to the procedure is the cost involved.

Alloderm Cost

Alloderm is extremely expensive and typically U.S. $3000 worth of material is needed. Unless the cost of the material falls dramatically, the procedure will no doubt remain out of the reach of many men considering penis enlargement surgery.
