Penis Enlargement Procedures

Penis enlargement is the general term for surgical and non-surgical procedures that may be carried out on adult men who are dissatisfied with the length, girth (thickness) or both of their penis, following an appropriate medical assessment.

Penis enlargement procedures vary depending on the individual’s anatomical characteristics, expectations and the method to be used. For this reason, rather than applying the same method to everyone, it is important to draw up a personalised treatment plan following a detailed urological assessment.

Surgical Penis Lengthening

In suitable patients, surgical methods aimed at increasing penile length may be considered.

Surgery performed on the suspensory ligament, which attaches the part of the penis inside the body to the pubic bone, may aim to increase the visible length of the penis, particularly when it is flaccid.

The results of this operation vary depending on the individual’s anatomy, and it cannot be guaranteed that it will result in an equivalent increase in erect length.

How Much Growth Can Be Achieved?

The results that can be achieved with penis enlargement procedures vary depending on the method used, the patient’s initial anatomy, the amount of material used and the individual’s tissue characteristics.

For this reason, it is not medically sound to guarantee a specific increase in centimetres or circumference prior to the procedure. Following the examination, the patient’s anatomy can be assessed and information provided regarding realistic outcomes that can be achieved.

Does Penis Enlargement Affect Erections?

The primary aim of penis enlargement procedures is to alter the size or appearance of the penis; these procedures are not intended to treat erectile dysfunction.

Patients with erectile dysfunction require further assessment. Various treatment options are available for erectile dysfunction, including medication, injection therapy and, in suitable patients, a penile prosthesis.
