What You Need to Know About Penile Enlargement Surgery

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Penile Enlargement Surgery?

Penile deformities can cause men to experience self-confidence issues, damage their self-perception, and sometimes physically prevent sexual intercourse.

Penile enlargement surgery can be applied to men who cannot provide partner satisfaction due to penile dimensions, who cannot be satisfied during sexual intercourse, and who experience self-confidence issues due to the thinness and shortness of the penis. Penile enlargement surgery is a combined surgery in which the penis is both lengthened and thickened. This surgery can be safely applied to all men whose general health status is suitable, following the completion of penile development.

How is Penile Enlargement Surgery Performed?

As I mentioned earlier, penile enlargement surgery is a combined surgery. It is possible to administer general or spinal anesthesia within the scope of the surgery. During the selection of anesthesia, a joint decision is made in line with the patients' general health status and expectations.

1. Penile Lengthening: In the first step of the operation, penile lengthening surgery is performed. Penile lengthening surgery is completed by cutting approximately 80% of the suspensory ligament, which connects the part of the penis remaining inside the body to the abdominal wall. With penile lengthening surgery, the flaccid length (non-erect state) of the penis can be increased by an average of 2-4 cm.

2. Penile Girth Enhancement (Thickening): The other stage of penile enlargement surgery is penile thickening via fat injection. In this context, fat is harvested from under the skin of the anterior abdominal wall using special injectors without making an incision on the patient's skin. The fat taken from the patient is passed through special filtering processes and injected under the skin of the penile shaft.

Penile lengthening and penile thickening surgeries performed within the scope of penile enlargement surgery are completed in approximately 1-2 hours.

If I Lose Weight, Will the Penis Return to Its Old State Immediately?

One of the issues that patients who will undergo penile fat injection are most curious about is whether the penis will quickly return to its old state when weight is lost. I can explain this issue as follows; fat cells are spread throughout the body. In case of weight loss, the body usually burns fat in specific regions. In men, the liver and abdominal area are the regions where fat cells melt fastest. Unless total body fat is lost, it is unlikely for the fat injected into the penis to melt away rapidly.

How is the Recovery Process After Penile Enlargement Surgery?

Our patients are discharged on the day following the penile enlargement surgery. Individuals can return home comfortably after being discharged; I can even state that our patients can leave the hospital by walking.

The most fundamental point to be considered after the operation is the completion of exercises that will increase the effect of penile enlargement surgery without interruption.

• For Lengthening: Pulling exercises we call traction should be performed for 3 (three) months for the permanence of the penile lengthening effect.

• For Thickening: For the proper placement of the fat tissue injected into the penile shaft to increase the effect of penile fat injection, light massage is recommended for about 15 days.

Adopting a healthy lifestyle is as important as not disrupting the exercise routine in the post-operative period.

Is Penile Enlargement Surgery Safe?

Yes, penile lengthening and penile thickening surgeries are quite safe when performed by experienced physicians who have a command of penile anatomy. Temporary swelling and slight bruising formation may be observed in the post-operative period.

How Much Does the Penis Grow After the Operation?

After penile enlargement operations, the penis both lengthens and thickens. Provided that the recommended post-operative exercises are performed, it is possible to achieve an elongation of 2-4 cm in penile length. At the same time, a thickening of 4-6 cm in penile girth (circumference) is achieved.

When Can Sexual Intercourse Be Resumed After Penile Enlargement Surgery?

One of the most frequently asked questions about penile enlargement operations is when sexual intercourse can be resumed. It is important not to disrupt post-operative exercises. Although sexual intercourse can be entered after 1 month, it is beneficial to extend this period to 2 months. In this process, it is important for patients to stay away from both masturbation and sexual intercourse.

What is the Success Rate of Penile Enlargement Operations?

Two basic criteria are taken into consideration when determining the success rate of penile enlargement operations. One of these criteria is the absence of major side effects, and the other is ensuring patient satisfaction. After penile enlargement surgeries performed by experienced surgeons, we can provide high patient and partner satisfaction, and we almost never encounter a side effect of a major nature.
