Penis Enlargement

Penis Enlargement Surgery – FAQs

1. What is penis enlargement surgery?

2. Who is a good candidate?

• Men dissatisfied with penile size and seeking cosmetic enhancement

• Individuals in good overall health and non-smokers

• Patients with realistic expectations, understanding that improvements are moderate, not extreme

3. What techniques are available?

• Fat transfer (lipofilling): Fat from the patient’s body is injected into the penis for girth enhancement

• Dermal fillers: Hyaluronic acid or other fillers provide temporary girth improvement

• Suspensory ligament release: Increases flaccid length, but erect length change is limited

• Penile implants: Used mainly for erectile dysfunction, sometimes adapted for cosmetic enlargement

4. How long does the procedure take?
Depending on the technique, surgery usually lasts 1–3 hours.

5. How long is recovery?

• Light activities can resume in 3–7 days

• Avoid sexual activity and heavy exercise for 4–6 weeks

• Swelling may last several weeks

6. When will I see results?
Results are immediate but continue improving as swelling decreases, typically stabilizing in 2–3 months.

7. Are the results permanent?

• Fat transfer: Partially permanent, as some fat may be reabsorbed

• Fillers: Temporary, lasting 12–24 months

• Ligament release: Permanent but affects flaccid length more than erect length

• Implants: Long-lasting but involve higher risks

8. What are the risks?
Possible complications include infection, scarring, asymmetry, fat absorption, loss of sensation, erectile issues, or dissatisfaction with cosmetic results.

9. Will there be visible scars?
Scars are usually small and placed discreetly, often hidden in the pubic region.

10. Can penis enlargement be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Some patients combine lengthening with girth enhancement (e.g., fat transfer + ligament release) for more balanced results.
