DIY ligament cutting.. Safe? Sane?

Disclaimer - Not that I would actually do it or recommend anyone else does! but….

Would it be theoretically possible to perform self-surgery and cut your own ligaments, similar to the operation some people have?

I’ve wondered about it for some time but never seen it discussed.

I’m not planning to take a knife to myself! just curious. Sorry if it sounds weird!

Of course possible, but most unwise. Sounds like a good way to get yourself involuntarily committed to a psych ward.

Now what I’ve been wondering about, and it appears no one has tried, is DIY cortisone injections along the main ligament to soften it and facilitate stretching.

Safe? Sane?

Neither.

I could ask my father to do it. But I`m ashamed.

If I would see an instructional movie on how to do it, maybe I`d do it… I dont really like blood.

I don’t think lig-cutting is really worthwhile— I saw a documentary about a guy who had his ligs cut and gained about four millimetres and was then told to hang weights for a minimum of eight hours a day. Hanging would get you those kinds of gains anyway and it wouldn’t cost you thousands of dollars and a surgery.

But that’s just my opinion.

As for DIY lig-cutting— I think it’s a very bad idea.

I remember there was a post here, or at PEforums where someone had done it to themself. They didn’t use a scalpel, just a hypodermic needle(additional details omitted). I don’t recall the results, and don’t recommend anyone trying this.

There is a lot that can go wrong. And you are definitly settiing yourself up for an infection or something.

Troll.

If so, a sleeper troll.

This has to be the most bizarre first post I’ve ever seen on any forum!

You’ve been registered 3 years and this is your first post?

Safe? No!
Sane? No!

I thought the same thing. If every post-op includes 4 months of hanging or some other stretching device, why not try the device or hanging first?

Perhaps, the operation is ‘snake oil’ and these doctors know hanging works…

Mustard man, did it take you 3 years to get the guts to ask this ridiculous question?

If you are serious, it is called self mutilation, and guaranteed to be a painful, and possibly deadly, nightmare. If you are contemplating trying this, then you should go see a psychologist, immediately, before you end up bleeding to death or dying of infection. At the very least, you will ruin your penis, for sure.

I had the surgery and am convinced it is a total waste of time. You might gain 1/2 cm flaccid length, but no erect length without hanging. If you were to hang for 6 months with or without ligs being cut I doubt there would be any difference in gains. Because increasing the length of the penis manually is not recognised by the medical community the length gains are largely attributed to the surgery. If you look at a diagram of the anatomy of the penis or just use your fingers to feel your ligs there is no way they will restrict erect length. When I had the surgery in 1997 my surgeon told me it was impossible to surgically increase the erect length of the penis. It may sound like I am stereotyping or making massive generalisations, but the fact he was British makes me take his word more than American surgeons who claim erect gains through surgery. Though the US doctors in general tend to be more skillful, in the area of aesthetic surgery, they are also far brasher and much more competitive in nature and therefore willing to talk themselves and their surgical outcomes up. It is not uncommon to hear a US doctor to describe himself as “the best” or the “master”. This would be very unBritish, and therefore tend to get more realistic views from them. On the other hand I think this less self promoting attitude is why British surgeons tend to be less concerned with the pursuit of excellence and thus their results suffer. Cosmetic Surgery is much less of a business in Britain, particularly back in 1997, so you get more honesty but worse results.

Just to respond to a few of the points raised..

No I am not a troll! A lurker for sure (sorry rude of me not to introduce myself!)

I’ve been reading the forums on and off for 3 years (lol @ “sleeper troll”) but never posted anything, someone else has almost always said it better before me and my knowledge is not that great to have much to contribute.

I’m sorry if anyone is offended by the thread or thinks it was a stupid question I just wondered if the idea had been discussed before, my own PE is exclusively manual so no worries about an “involuntary trip to the psych ward!”

Man8worm - your idea about the cortisone injections sounds very interesting. I’ll read up about that.

In the movie Gridlocked Stretch says his thinking of “getting one of those do-it-yourself penis implants” so there must be something like that out there.
